How do I Tag BBT Charts, and why?
(Top of Page)
When you opt to share a specific chart, you can assign tags to that chart.
For each chart, you can assign up to
12 tags. These tags are an additional way for you to tell your chart viewing audience more
about this fertility cycle and/or how you've interpreted the chart. The tags you assign are displayed
with this shared chart.
Examples of tags you can assign to your BBT chart: BFN, biphasic, BFP,
triphasic, anovulatory, bbt charts after the pill, while on clomid, when
using an ovulation predictor kit.
If you are sharing your charts in the BBT Chart Room, visitors can search for charts using
these tags.

How do I create a BBT Chart?
(Top of Page)
If you are new to MyMonthlyCycles Premium Fertility,
please view the
Getting Started guide for general information.
To share a BBT chart, you need to create it, and it couldn't be
easier with Premium Fertility! BBT Charts are automatically generated based on
your fertility cycle tracking data.
Each fertility cycle is defined
by the first day of your period. Therefore, to start a new BBT chart,
simply use the MyMonthlyCycles menstrual
and fertility cycle calendar.
Use the Period Event to record your period start date. A new BBT chart
is instantly started.
To enter your BBT and other fertility data, use the calendar's Fertility Event. On
the Fertility Edit Screen, enter your daily BBT reading, along with
other related fertility data (cervical fluid, position, pregnancy test
results, OPK results, and more).
Note 1: Some of our premium fertility members choose to use
OPKs and fertility monitors in conjunction with, or instead of, BBT charting.
Not a problem. Fill in whichever information pertains to how you track your
fertility cycle. If you share your charts, you may want to use either the
About You or Chart Description field to make a note of this, so those viewing
your charts understand how you chart your fertility -- but that's totally at your option.
Note 2: You can create BBT charts for past cycles. Simply adjust your
MyMonthlyCycles calendar
date, start that cycle by recording your period start date, and then
use the fertility entry screen to post your fertility data for that cycle.
Note 3: As soon as you start a BBT chart, you can share it in the BBT Chart Room,
an excellent way for you to discuss your chart and where you are in your
fertility cycle with others. Each day, just log back in and post the current
day's fertility activity, and your BBT chart is instantly updated.
