blessings - Are you breastfeeding?
From what little I know in this area; I've heard your chances are pretty slim to null - Especially if you are breastfeeding 90 percent or more.

3toraiseup, you can do free online charting on http://www.fertilityfriend.com
You can sign up for the free membership and have basic options or do the VIP membership for a fee. It's nice because you can chart on any computer (web based) and I like that the computer pinpoints ovulation for you.
You can also download blank charts here:

Blessings - I am clueless in that department, but I know there are others in this thread that know ALLLLL about that. I hope they see this and post to you soon. Just know that, from what I've heard, you should be fine - especially if you are breastfeeding 90% of the time or more.
Hugs to you. :)
Jae

I'm curious about HOW the ladies here chart. I do mine on pencil and paper, and the chart I use is from ccli. Anyone have a different chart, or chart online? I'm interested in the fertilityfriend charting online, because I think it marks when you are supposed to be fertile.

Charting is supposed to start the first day of your period right? For those of you who spot, do you start on the first day of spotting or the first day of flow?

I'm glad I'm not charting yet. My body is in a state of hormonal confusion. LOL Hannah is two months old today. I keep thinking I'm going to start my period again. Tiny bit of spotting for a couple days and then nothing. Some days I've been horribly dry and need KY to have sex (I've heard this is normal when breastfeeding). Now this morning, mucous, mucous, mucous! But not the fertile kind. What the? Oh, who knows.... Someday things will go back to normal, right? RIGHT?!

My next question is where do I go to buy a basal thermometer? Would they have them at a pharmacy? I remember that some of you bought yours at Amazon but we can't get anything from Amazon in Canada except books, CDs, movies, etc.

Regarding spotting at the begining of your cycle -- you only count it as the first day if it is red bleeding. Some people have irregular shedding which is brown spotting that precedes actual menstrual flow for a few days even up to a week. If you have irregular shedding it does not count as 'Day 1', rather it is the end of your previous cycle.
3blessings: bleeding that begins in the first 50 something days following childbirth does not count as 'resumed periods'. We are in the process of moving cross country right now and I don't have time to access to my NFP book, but when I am able, I'll post more on that in a couple weeks. Meanwhile, maybe someone else will chime in.
Blessings,
Kati

3blessings, I'm having the on and off cramping also. Feels like I'm going to start my period again, and then nothing. I wish my body would decide what it's going to do and just DO IT! LOL I'm definitely irritable too. 
I did read that bleeing in the first 56 days (8 weeks) means nothing at all. You don't count it. Since I know our babies are the same age, you're just barely past that also.

Anybody know if there are celcius charts available online anywhere? It seems they only sell celcius basal thermometers in Canada and I need to know whether it's worth ordering a fahrenheit one from elsewhere.

The CCLI charts (www.ccli.org I think) have celsius on one side, and farenheit on the other. The charts are not expensive at all...I think about $3.00 for 2 years worth of charts. And they even say you could xerox them instead of buying more.

Kati, Is there anything wrong if you have irregular shedding? I always wondering what that was! Thanks for the info!

Not neccessarily. There are a variety of causes... ovarian cysts, nutritional deficiencies, post-partum/breastfeeding to name a few. It isn't a neccessarily a problem and can be quite normal (as in the case of post partum periods). It depends on the cause. If someone is trying to conceive and has irregular shedding, it would be worth looking into. Also, irregular shedding might be a sign of a shortened luteal phase (phase III) which would impact your 'safe' days in NFP. (Rather than a 2 week phase III, it might only be 7-10 days). As such, it would be wise to attempt correction so that phase III would be extended.

RE: Natural Family Planning ---- Questions, Answers, an... - 
) a couple wks ago and I just cant get it out of my mind so I'm going to have to buy a preg test. We just had our 2nd baby 7wks ago, so I really hope I'm not again. I'm praying actually....but if I am then, looks like we'll be having another little blessing on the way. If I am I know we'll be a little freaked out at first but we'll get over that, of course. so we'll see. I know The Lord knows my heart and I know He'll never give us more than we can bear. But anyway I do want to try NFP 
), once I take that test.... 
, I didnt know that. I still havent bought a test yet, so I'm still not sure. I have been having light cramping for a couple wks now , what do you think that might mean? period coming soon? 
Well, hopefully I'll be sure to get a test tomorrow so I can stop wondering if I am preg again or not! :)
