What Kind Of BBT Spreadsheet?
We recommend using the WebWomb.com spreadsheet because of it's unique design in showing you exactly when you are most fertile.   Click Here for more information about our bbt chart.  There are also many other BBT charts available on the Internet as well as a master sheet in the back of the book "Taking Charge Of Your Fertility" - or you can even make up your own by using graph paper.  Which ever spreadsheet you decide to use, we recommend you give as much detail to your chart as possible.  There is no such thing as too much information in charting your indicators.  Your body can tell you a great deal about your fertility.....all you have to do is pay attention and log what you find. 

Charting During Your Period
Your first cycle day (the day that you begin your chart) is the first day of your menstrual period and is not any day that you may have spotted prior.  This day may also be the last day on your chart for the previous month - unless you have started your period sometime during the night or the first thing in the morning and have not taken your waking temperature or logged your indicators for the day. If this is the case, make sure you indicate that you started you period on the last day of your previous chart.  Indicate in some way that you are menstruating whether it be with a yes, check mark, an X, a circle or highlight.  It is not necessary to check your cervical fluid internally during your period, however if you have any spotting after you menstruation has started indicate spotting on your chart.  During your period you are not fertile.
