Two blank charts are provided here for use as described in the tutorial How To Chart Cycles. For the purposes of easier (and clearer) printing, they are PDF documents:

Fertility Apps are the next development for Fertility Awareness Based Methods. FABMs.
It is an exciting development and are very attractive on the iPad or iPhone.
Many are like a diary or calendar. They just record the dates of the menstrual cycle and do not try to predict the fertile and infertile phases of the menstrual cycle.
But others record some of the 4 fertility signs and then try to predict the fertile phase. Pregnancy can result from the too late prediction of the onset of fertility. Sperm may already be in the vagina and uterus when she is in fact fertile. Sperm can live for 7 days in good a good environment.
Each woman should learn to track her own signs, preferably with her own Teacher who has been trained to teach. She will then be taught to interpret her fertility signs and to interpret them reliably.
Up to now NFPTA have not found that any App that is as reliable as charting, though we are keeping an open mind. Watch this space.
Femina Medica
Femina Medica is a new initiative by members of the NFPTA aimed at understanding how medications affect female fertility biomarkers. On https://feminamedica.com/, you can explore how different drugs may impact ovulation, cervical mucus, temperature patterns, or overall cycle length — especially relevant for users of fertility awareness methods (FAM).
We invite users and instructors of the sympto-thermal method (STM) to contribute.
If you or your clients have experienced changes in cycle patterns while using medication, we encourage you to tell your story and submit your charts. Your experience will help expand a reliable database for FAM users, researchers, and healthcare professionals.
By participating, you gain deeper insight into how your body responds to medications and help others manage their fertility more effectively.
