Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
Subscription and Payment Answers
Is this a free or temporary service?
MyFertilityCharts is a free service. It is operated as part of the Hormonal
Forecaster to offer solutions to meet user's fertility needs. There is no cost
associated with signing up. All users are entitled to a free and indefinite
base subscription. This supports basic charting, data entry, and data
viewing.
There are optional advanced features which require a Premium Subscription.
This type of subscription can be earned through free rewards programs,
sponsored by a TrialPay partner, or purchased directly. New users
are given a free Premium Subscription for an evaluation period. After the
evaluation, the subscription can be extended if desired. For more information
see the subscription overview page
or go to the Manage Subscription page
once logged into your account.
The premium subscription gives you full access to all of the features on this
site. This includes the following advanced features:
- Advanced Calendar Views
- Chart Shading
- Recommended Ovulation Test Dates
- Multiple Calculated Ovulation Dates
- Gender Swaying
- Event Analysis
- Advanced Cycle Statistics
- Chart Overlays
- Chart Comparisons
How do I sign up for or extend my Premium Subscription?
There are many ways to sign up for or extend your subscription. These include free
rewards program, a referral program, free sponsorship programs, and direct purchase.
Simply click on the Manage Subscription link on the main menu to see all
available options. Once you purchase or earn a subscription through a rewards program
or promotion, your subscription date will automatically be extended. You can view your
history of earned and purchased subscriptions on the Account History
page.
Is billing recurring?
It depends upon the payment option. Each is described on the
subscription renewal page.
How can I view my subscription status or account history?
After logging in, click on the Account History link on the main menu.
This will show your history of payments, your history of free earned rewards, and
other information regarding your eligibility for future rewards.
Are payments secure?
Yes. Payments are processed through third party companies that specialize in
online transactions and security. No payment information is retained by this site directly.
What happens if my subscription expires?
If your Premium Subscription lapses, you will default to a free or basic subscription.
This will still allow you to use the site to record, chart, and access your data.
Certain advanced features will be disabled though.
If you renew your premium subscription while it is still active, you will be earn
a 10% bonus on the length of your new subscription. This is automatically appended
to your subscription term after you renew. It is therefore advantageous to renew
before your subscription expires.
Did the new subscription format replace online credits?
Yes. The original version of MyFertilityCharts used a credit based system. This was in
place from May 2007 through July 2008. In August 2008, a new version of the site was
launched. This version replaced the credit system with a new subscription based approach.
There are no longer credits to manage. Instead, your account has a subscription with an
expiration date. Your subscription is either active or inactive. When it is inactive you
can still access and use the site under a free or basic subscription. Some advanced features
may be disabled.
The older credit based system sometimes restricted your ability to access older records. This
is no longer the case. You will always be able to access historical data regardless
of your subscription status.
Hormonal Forecaster Answers
What is the Hormonal Forecaster?
The Hormonal Forecaster is a family of software programs that specializes in
fertility management and analysis. It was originally introduced in 2000 as a
desktop program and has since grown to include simplified versions that target
several different platforms. MyFertilityCharts is the website that hosts the
Hormonal Forecaster Web Edition. This is a web version of the Hormonal
Forecaster. Like the other derivations of the original (the Hormonal Forecaster
Pocket PC Edition and the Hormonal Forecaster Palm Edition), the web edition
supports synchronization with the primary desktop application. This allows
users to synchronize data with the main desktop program and take advantage of
the desktop version software even offline.
The Hormonal Forecaster can be downloaded and used as a stand alone application
running on any PC with Microsoft Windows with or without use of
MyFertilityCharts.com (aka the Hormonal Forecaster Web Edition). For more
information on the Hormonal Forecaster including links to free downloads and
screen shots, visit its homepage at
http://www.hormonalforecaster.com.
Why does the Hormonal Forecaster desktop version specify a
different ovulation date?
Depending on your settings in the software and on this site, the analysis
can differ slightly. This can cause ovulation dates to differ under some
circumstances. There are also subtle differences in how the calculations are
performed for general efficiency on a given platform.
If you encounter a situation where you are given different ovulation dates,
you should use this information consider both dates with some skepticism.
During synchronization, you can upload the desktop ovulation date to the
web edition. This will cause the desktop calculated date to take priority.
You can also manually specify an ovulation date using either platform
to help resolve such a discrepancy if encountered.
Does the Hormonal Forecaster cost money?
The desktop version of the Hormonal Forecaster can be download and used for
free for evaluation without any obligations. After the evaluation period ends,
you are encouraged to register it. More information on licensing options for
the desktop version are available here. It
can be purchased or licensed at no cost with certain promotional offers
from TrialPay.
The Pocket PC Edition, Palm Edition, and Web Edition (MyFertilityCharts.com)
are separate and can be used indefinitely for free (with applicable restrictions
on advanced features). For the best overall experience, many users prefer to
use them with the desktop software to synchronize their data. Synchronization
allows users to enter data using any platform and synchronize their records for
consistency. This is not mandatory though. Users can optionally continue to use
the other editions indefinitely for free with potential limitations or pay to
register or subscribe to them separately. Registering the Hormonal Forecaster
desktop version entitles users to a Palm or Pocket PC license. Since the
desktop version greatly compliments the other versions by adding more detailed
analysis and features, it is a popular licensing option. As mentioned, the
desktop version includes synchronization support for the Web Edition. The web
edition is subscription based as described on this site.
How can I download records from MyFertilityCharts to
the Hormonal Forecaster?
First you need to download and install the Hormonal Forecaster. Web Edition
synchronization is included in version 5.2 or higher. If you do not already
have version 5.2 installed, you can download the Hormonal Forecaster by simply
visiting http://www.hormonalforecaster.com
Legacy Version Note: If you used the older version of MyFertilityCharts, you may have synchronized with
the Hormonal Forecaster version 5.1. You need to upgrade to version 5.2 to
synchronize with this new release of MyFertilityCharts.
Once you have the desktop program installed, you can run it and select Launch
Web Edition Sync from the File menu. This will run a special
synchronization program capable of connecting to MyFertilityCharts.com. You
will need to configure the utility to access your account by entering your
username and password. You will also need to specify the *.HFC desktop data
file to synchronize with. If you do not already have a Hormonal Forecaster
dekstop data file, you will first need to create one. You can do this by
running the desktop version, selecting New from the File menu,
and then selecting Save
when done configuring the file.
Once you have configured the web synchronization utility, you simply use the Transfer Data
button to upload and/or download data records. You need to be connected to the
internet for this to work. The utility will connect to MyFertilityCharts.com
and perform the requested transfer of data and log the results and update your
*.HFC desktop data file.
Detailed step-by-step instructions on synchronization can be found
here. A list of resolutions for common errors is also listed on that page.
Is there anyway I can recover records I accidentally
deleted and then synchronized?
If you delete records on one platform and synchronize, they may be deleted on
the other platform too. The Web Edition, Pocket PC Edition, and Palm Edition
all backup desktop data files before each synchronization. For the case of the
Web Edition, several past copies of your desktop data file are stored in the
\BACKUP\ subdirectory of the Hormonal Forecaster installation path (e.g. by
default C:\Program Files\Hormonal Forecaster\Backup\). The files are named
"websyncXX.hfc" where XX represents a sequential ordering of the files where 1
is a copy of the file before the last synchronization, 2 is from two
synchronizations ago, etc.
If necessary, you can open these files and use the Save As menu option
under the File
menu of the Hormonal Forecaster desktop version to create a new copy elsewhere
on your computer. You should NOT work with the copy residing at this location
since it will get overwritten during the next synchronization.
How does synchronization decide which record prevails?
The Web Edition of the Hormonal Forecaster keeps track of which records have
changed. This information is used by the synchronization utility to make
decisions about how to copy records. The following common scenarios can occur:
Desktop Version |
Web Edition |
Synchronization Action |
New Record |
No Record |
The record will get copied from the desktop to the web edition. |
No Record |
New Record |
The record will get copied from the web to the desktop version. |
New Record |
New Record |
Conflict: The record will get copied from the web to the desktop
version. |
Matching Unchanged Record |
Matching Unchanged Record |
No action necessary. |
Unchanged Record |
Changed Record |
The web edition changes will be downloaded and copy over the desktop version
data. |
Changed Record |
Unchanged Record |
The desktop version changes will be uploaded to the web edition and overwrite
its record. |
Changed Record |
Changed Record |
Conflict: The web edition changes will be downloaded and copy over the
desktop version data. |
Deleted Record |
Unchanged Record |
The corresponding web edition record will be reset to defaults. |
Unchanged Record |
Deleted Record |
The corresponding desktop version record will get deleted. |
Deleted Record |
Deleted Record |
No action necessary. |
These decisions are made on a field basis and are not simply applied to the
entire record. This means that a change to your temperature on the web edition
and a change to your cervical mucus entered with the desktop version for the
same date (both different fields of a fertility record) will be handled
separately. The new temperature reading would be downloaded to your PC for the
desktop version and the new cervical mucus data would be uploaded to overwrite
the data currently set by the web edition assuming that their counterparts have
not changed also.
Are all types of data records synchronized?
Only data records that are supported by both platforms are transferred during
synchronization. For example, the online web edition at MyFertilityCharts.com
supports numerous events which can be recorded. The desktop software only
supports 20 custom events. Only defined custom events on the web that match
definited custom events in the software will synchronize. The other records
remain untouched.
Can I synchronize web records directly to a Pocket PC
or Palm handheld device?
No. All synchronization must go through the desktop version of the Hormonal
Forecaster. If you want to synchronize with the web edition and a handheld
edition, you must accomplish this by individually synchronizing with the
desktop version.
Do I have to use this site with the Hormonal
Forecaster software?
No. This site is intended to complement the desktop version of the Hormonal
Forecaster. You can use the desktop version by itself (independent of this
site) or alongside it by running the web edition synchronization utility.
Records are only transferred to this site if you manually use the utility to
transfer them. The Hormonal Forecaster desktop version will not connect to the
internet by itself.
Where can I find out more information about the Hormonal Forecaster?
You can read about, view screenshots, and even download the Hormonal Forecaster
by visiting the program's homepage: http://www.hormonalforecaster.com/
Can I download and run the Hormonal Forecaster desktop
version on a Mac or Unix machine?
No. The Hormonal Forecaster desktop version only works on PCs with Windows.
Unless you have software to emulate Windows (e.g. VirtualPC), then you cannot
run the desktop version. You can still use MyFertilityCharts.com and enjoy the web
edition of the Hormonal Forecaster without it though.
Data Sharing Answers
How can I share my data or charts with my doctor or
other health care provider?
Click on the Share My Data
link on the main menu. From there you can search for a medical provider by
specifying all or part of your provider's last name. Once you find your
provider, you will be given an opportunity to select what types of data you
wish to share.
Can my health care provider see all of my
recorded data?
Yes. Your health care provider can see all types of records you specify to
share. This may include personal notes, recorded custom events, fertility
data, and/or fertility charts.
Can anyone see my online data records?
No. Only users that you explicitly specify to share data with can view your
data. If you share data with the entire community (Public Community of
Registered Users) then anyone with an account at MyFertilityCharts.com will be able to view
your selected data and offer feedback. Users not registered can only view
charts posted on the Hormonal Forecaster's public message boards. You can view
your data sharing settings using the My Data Sharing
menu link.
MyFertilityCharts.com is committed to protect your online personal information
and data records. Routine steps are taken to ensure that unauthorized access
does not occur.
How can I share my data with a friend?
Click on the Share My Data
link on the main menu. From there you can search for a friend using their
username or last name. Once you find the friend you wish to share data with,
you will be given an opportunity to select what types of data you wish to
share.
How can I get feedback from other users on my
charts?
You can share your charts with the public community of registered users to help
generate comments about your data. If you have specific questions about a
specific chart, you can consider posting it on the public message boards. This
makes the chart accessible to anyone, even individuals without an account. The
Fertility Exchange is an internal messsage board only accessible to users of
this site.
What is the Public Community of Registered Users?
The public community of registered users represents a sharing option to permit
any registered user with an account at MyFertilityCharts.com permission to
access your data. If you select this as your sharing destination, anyone will
have access to the record types you specify. They will only be able to view
your username though and will not have access to any other distinguishing
information (your name, email, etc.).
How can I see my friend's data?
First your friend needs to add you as a sharing destination. Once they have
logged in and specified that they want to share their data with you, you will
see their name appear on your list of friends. You can view this list by using
the My Friends' Data link on the main menu.
How can I see my student's data?
First your patients need to add you as a sharing destination. Once they have
logged in and specified that they want to share their data with you, you will
see their name appear on your list of patients. You can view this list by using
the My Patients' Data
link on the main menu.
Fertility Charts and Interpretation Answers
What are the letters on my fertility chart?
This question will be answered briefly here. You are encouraged to see
FertilityInstructor.com
for a more detailed explanation.
The Period and Mucus row uses four letters. Which letter appears on your
fertility chart depends upon the symptoms you have recorded for the date in
question. The recorded cervical mucus sensation, appearance, and composition
are combined to form a standard charting mucus indicator.
-
P
indicates a menstrual period day.
-
D
indicates an overall dry or infertile day.
-
M
indicates a transitional day between the dry and fertile days.
-
F indicates a fertile day. The last fertile day will have an X through
it to indicate your ovulation date as calculated from your cervical mucus
records.
The Cervix Position row uses three letters. Which letter appears on your
fertility chart depends upon the symptoms you have recorded for the date in
question.
-
L
indicates that your cervix was low, closed, and/or firm. This is a sign of an
infertile day.
-
M
indicates that your cervix is in a transitional state.
-
H indicates that your cervix was high, open, and/or soft. This is a sign
of increased fertility.
The Saliva Ferning row uses three letters. Which letter appears on your
fertility chart depends upon the symptoms you have recorded for the date in
question.
-
N
indicates that no ferning was reported. This is a sign of an infertile day.
-
T
indicates that transitional ferning was observed.
-
F indicates that ferning patterns were recorded. This generally
indicates signs of increased fertility.
The Ovulation Test row can be used to indicate the result of any ovulation
tests that you may have taken. A "+" sign indicates that a positive ovulation
test result was recorded on the given date while a "-" sign indicates that the
test result was negative.
Why are the charts shaded?
Chart shading is a patent pending feature recently introduced by the Hormonal
Forecaster. Each day is shaded to represent your fertility level on that day
based upon a given symptom. Each row is shaded separately. Light shading
represents low fertility levels and dark shading represents proportionately
higher fertility levels. This feature quickly allows you to observe fertility
trends on your chart and understand how recorded symptoms directly correlate to
your actual fertility.
Why can I no longer choose to shade
charts based on fertility?
The Shade Chart Based on Fertility checkbox will be disabled if you no
longer have an active premium subscription. Chart interpretation and ovulation
date calculation will also be disabled. If your subscription expires, you
can extend it using the Manage Subscription
menu link.
How is ovulation indicated on the fertility chart?
Ovulation dates are indicated by placing a dark outline around the date. If
the ovulation date was automatically calculated, the outline will be black.
If it is a manually specified ovulation date, the outline will be blue.
Chart shading also offers an indication of when ovulation occurs on your
chart based upon individual symptoms. You can also see the ovulation date
highlighted on the various calendar displays.
The Hormonal Forecaster desktop version similarly highlights the overall calculated
ovulation date by circling the date at the bottom of the chart.
What do the numbers at the top of the chart
indicate?
These count of the days past ovulation (DPO).
What does it mean when a cycle day number is
circled?
It is customary to circle the cycle number for a given date if you had
intercourse on that date. If you have recorded sexual intercourse, its cycle
number will appear circled on the chart to convey this information. A dark
circle indicates intercourse alone. A double circle with a light interior
indicates that other birth control was used during intercourse.
What does it mean when a temperature reading is
circled?
Uncertainty was specified with the recorded temperature value. This is shown so
that the data point can be treated with necessary skepticism.
How can I post a chart for others to see?
You can share your chart with everyone or the
registered community.
To post a chart on the public message boards, you should view the chart you wish to post by
clicking on the Fertility Charts menu link. Once at the chart,
click on the Attach Chart to Public Message Board Post link immediately
above the chart you wish to post. You will be given an opportunity to confirm
your request and then be redirected to the public message boards. Log in and
you should see a URL entered in the Link to Chart
field on the post. You should not change this URL since it can only be viewed
exactly as is by the public. Anyone who visits it will be able to view the
chart whether or not they have an account at MyFertilityCharts.com.
What happened to the custom fertility field?
The August 2008 release of MyFertilityCharts eliminated the custom fertility field.
The desktop software still supports this field, but the online web edition does
not. This is because the new release now automatically charts all recorded
events at the bottom of your chart. These are automatically appended to your
chart as needed based upon which events were recorded. If an event was not recorded,
it will not show up as a row on the chart.
How can I tell if I am pregnant?
Ovulation is indicated by a temperature shift during your cycle. This
temperature shift normally lasts several days and then subsides shortly before
your next cycle. If your temperature remains elevated or exhibits another
upward shift similar to what typically occurs around ovulation, this can
indicate pregnancy. If you experience a second upward shift in temperature or
miss the start of your next period, you should take a pregnancy test to check
for pregnancy and then visit your doctor.
[~#L00048:When is the best time to try to get pregnant?
Intercourse around the time of ovulation is most likely to result in a
conception. If you are trying to get pregnant, you should have intercourse when
your body starts showing signs of approaching ovulation. Observation of
cervical mucus can be particularly helpful to track since it identifies
ovulation as it approaches. Basal body temperatures are valuable, but the
temperature shift indicates the occurrence of ovulation. For individuals trying
to conceive, it is more valuable to anticipate ovulation days in advance using
other symptoms. You are best off trying to conceive beginning a few days prior
to ovulation and leading up to ovulation itself.
If using any version of the Hormonal Forecaster, you want to schedule
intercourse when your chart is darkly shaded to indicate high levels of
fertility.
For more information on how Fertility Awareness and Fertility Charting works, you
should consider reading the overview given at
Fertility Instructor.com.
Which events are shown on my charts?
Only events that were recorded during the interval that is being charted will
show up on your chart. If it is not recorded, a line will not be reserved
for this type of event. This determination is automatically made by the
site and requires no further action.
Ovulation Date Answers
How can I view calculated ovulation dates?
Ovulation dates are shown on the fertility chart page in a table by your
chart. An overall date is shown based collectively upon all recorded data.
Individual ovulation dates based upon only a given type of recorded symptom
are also given. You can also manually specify an ovulation date if you
disagree with the date chosen on the Fertility Charts
screen.
Why are ovulation dates not shown?
If you do not have an active Premium Subscription, the calculation of ovulation
dates is disabled. You can sign up for or renew your subscription using the
Manage Subscriptions menu link.
How are ovulation dates shown on the calendar?
A date will be colored green to represent ovulation. If the date is a light
green, it represents only an approximate ovulation as calculated using calendar
or rhythm method techniques. Darker green dates represent ovulations automatically calculated
from your symptothermal charts or manually specified. These dates are more
likely to accurately capture your actual day of ovulation and associated high fertility levels.
What techniques are used to calculate ovulation
dates?
For future cycles, the calendar or rhythm method is applied as a rough estimate
of ovulation. Then your symptothermal data is used to calculate ovulation once
available. All available symptoms are analyzed collectively to estimate the
closest day of ovulation. When symptoms disagree on the ovulation date, a
middle range value is used. Fertility should be assumed to be high well around
this date range. Chart shading will help indicate where fertility is highest
based upon different recorded symptoms.
To understand the differences between different types of analysis, you are
encouraged to visit
Fertility Instructor.com.
This site helps explains the limitations and advantages of recording different
fertility symptoms and using this symptoms for analysis.
My data changed drastically, so why isn't the ovulation
date changing?
Once the Hormonal Forecaster desktop version uploads a calculated ovulation
date or you manually specify an ovulation date, the web edition cannot override it.
You need to revert to the automatically calculated ovulation date
on the Fertility Chart page in the manually specified ovulation section to revert
to a new calculated ovulation date.
Can I manually specify the ovulation date myself?
Yes, both the web edition and desktop software support this feature. You can
manually specify an ovulation date from the Fertility Chart
page.
Custom Event Answers
What are custom events?
The web edition supports numerous default event types. In addition to these, you can
also create custom events. These custom events can be any mood, behavior, or condition that you
wish to track.
The web edition only allows you to save and view recorded records. You can
synchronize these recorded records with the desktop version and see more
detailed statistical analysis of the events. Only custom events will synchronize though.
It may be necessary to create a custom event that matches a default event type
if you want that event to synchronize with the desktop software.
How can I more easily see when events have been recorded?
You can use the Calendar menu link to view a summary which
includes all recorded events. Events are only shown if you have an active Premium
Subscription. If not, you can find out more about the many ways to qualify for a
subscription here.
One or more events will not synchronize with the desktop
Hormonal Forecaster?
Unlike the Pocket PC or Palm Edition of the Hormonal Forecaster, category
events will not automatically get defined when you synchronize. You must
manually specify the events you wish to track in both the desktop version and
the web edition of the program. If an event is not synchronizing, you should
double check that you have added it to both platforms and that the names match
exactly. You can rename the custom event if necessary to ensure a match and
try again.
Also keep in mind that default events (those that are not manually defined as
custom events) will never synchronize. So even though there is a default event
called Migraine Headache in the Web Edition, it will not synchronize
with a custom event on the desktop software even under the same name. To
force these to match up, you must create and record a duplicate custom event
on the web edition with the same name. Only custom event types will synchronize.
Calendar Date Answers
How are menstruations indicated on the calendar?
Menstruations are shaded using a pink color on the calendar. A darker pink
represents a recorded menstruation. Light pink indicates a future menstrual
cycle based upon specified average cycle length information (if ovulation is
not yet known for the most recent cycle) or based upon the specified luteal
length (if ovulation has been calculated).
How are ovulation dates shown on the calendar?
A date will be colored green to represent ovulation. If the date is a light
green, it represents only an approximate ovulation as calculated using calendar
or rhythm method techniques. Darker green dates represent ovulations calculated
from your symptothermal charts using the desktop version or web edition of the
Hormonal Forecaster. These dates are more likely to accurately capture your
actual day of ovulation.
How can I get the calendar to predict future cycles
using my actual cycle length?
You can change the average cycle length used in the calculations by editing
your profile. This can be found under the My Account Settings
link on the main menu.
Keep in mind that your average cycle length is not applied to the very next
cycle if ovulation has already been determined using symptothermal techniques.
Under this scenario, the luteal length is applied to the ovulation date to
better estimate the start of your next cycle.
How are future ovulation dates calculated?
Future ovulation dates (light green) are based upon the average cycle length
and specified luteal length. These are approximations based upon the calendar
method and should be treated as approximations until actual symptothermal data
calculates a more reliable ovulation date (dark green).
How can I specify the length to assume for future
menstrual periods?
Future cycles assume a fixed menstrual period length based upon your account
settings. This can be found under the My Account Settings
link on the main menu.
Message Board Answers
I cannot log into the public message boards?
The Hormonal Forecaster public message boards are independent from the web
edition of the Hormonal Forecaster. A separate login is required to access
them. When you signed up for the web edition, you were given an opportunity to
create a public message board login automatically. Your same username and
password would have been registered for you if you did. If not, you will need
to create a login on your own.
If you changed your password after creating your account or had your password
reset, the public message boards will not automatically reflect this change.
You will have to change or reset your password manually there or use your old
password to gain access. More information is available
here.
What is the difference between the private and public
message boards?
The private message boards can only be used to send messages to a specific
user. Each message can only target one recipient and that recipient must be a
registered user at MyFertilityCharts.com.
The public message boards are accessible by anyone. Users do not need to
register for the public boards or even at MyFertilityCharts.com to view
postings.
Who can see messages sent on the private message
boards?
Only the specified recipient and sender can view private messages.
How do logins for the public message boards work?
The public message boards use a separate login system. Your same username and
password may have been registered for you when you signed up if you requested
them to be. If not, you must manually create a public message board account.
Your login does not necessarily have to be the same as that used at
MyFertilityCharts.com. Changes to username or password on MyFertilityCharts.com
will not affect your public message board login which must be modified
separately.
Another user sent me an inappropriate message or
advertisement?
You can email support@myfertilitycharts.com
to report the message. Please specify the sender, the date the message was
sent, your username, and what you felt was inappropriate about the message.
Users should not send offensive messages or use the message boards to post
advertisements.
