Question about charting Progesterone

[aprilz81]

I start my progesterone script tonight to end this never ending (okay, fine, it only SEEMS never ending at 75) cycle.

Do I mark that on FF on the days I actually take it or do I chart it on the days it would affect my temps (ie tomorrow)?

Typing it out makes it sound like a really stupid question, but I just want to make sure.

Doesn't matter. Just be consistent.

Agree with GM. I personally add it on the days I take it. And maybe this is wrong, but since I get a BFN before I take it, I just stop temping until after my period at that point. But I'm lazy.

GL with the meds!

Agree with PPs that it doesn't really matter. I personally mark it every day I take it, but that's just me. It helps me count the days after I finish the pills, so I can know when to expect a period.

I just checked the box on the Meds tab.  I'm taking Provera right now, too, if you wanna looksee at my chart to see what I mean.  Ignore the CH of FF being drunk.

Thanks!  I'm assuming that when FF is not drunk if you mark meds it won't give you cross hairs even with the elevated temps?

Since I use a custom med ("Provera" has to be added, "Progesterone" is standard), it doesn't take it into account.  I hadn't thought about using the Progesterone checkbox, though, so now I'm gonna try it!

EDIT: Verdict is, nothing has changed.  C'mon, FF, get your shit together.

I don't think FF will take into account the meds automatically in regards to O - they are just checkboxes. As PPs have said, I would mark the days you take the meds, though. One time I took Provera to start my period and then a few cycles later, I wondered how long it had taken me to get my period and I couldn't remember and unfortunately, I never marked anything in my chart and I was annoyed with myself.

I still get dotted crosshairs with documenting Provera/progesterone, which is why I quit temping while taking it. The CH make me sad because I've never gotten them for real, so I'd just rather not see the progesterone induced temp spike.

Eta: I still doc the meds and my period so that I can still track the days from provera to period.
