Thanks you girls for all your support. You have been so helpful with your warm words and you suggestions. I think we will try to figure something out. I do not know, seems that my mood changes a lot these days and sometimes I just lose hope and stop thinking. You always give me back this missing hope.

I need to ask some questions about charting as I am new and this is the first time I am trying to chart.

My mother tongue is not English and I have some troubles interpreting some English terms. Could anyone please help me understanding these terms or you can send them to my e-mail. I really do not understand anything.

The terms are:

CM - Menses - Intercourse - OPK - Monitor - Microscope - Ferning - Cervix - HPT - Meds-

Clomid.

These are found in the data of the charting. Can I gain some understanding here..please.

Thank you all.

Hi, Lama! I'll try to help you....

CM - is cervical mucous...it's the goopy stuff that comes out of the vagina through your cycle. It can be thick and white or runny or clear and stretchy(fertile)

Menses - This is your mensruation, or your period. It's when you bleed

Intercourse - sex

OPK - ovulation predictor kit...it is a stick you pee on that can tell you when you will ovulate.

Monitor - just means to keep checking

Microscope - Ferning - there is a way of seeing when ovulation is coming that you get a special microscope to look through at your saliva(spit) and if there is "ferning"(makes a pattern like a fern or plant, then you are in your fertile time.

Cervix - the is this opening from your vagina to your uterus, up inside you

HPT - this stands for home pregnancy test

Meds- is a short form for medication

Clomid- a medication that Dr will give you to help you ovulate.

I hope this helps! If you need any other help at all, just shout...

(((HUGS)))
