One woman said that she didn't have very much mucus to observe and another woman said that she was having a hard time figuring out what was going on with her menstrual cycle after a recent miscarriage. These very observations are precisely the reasons why these women should chart.
Think of it this way. If a scientist made some abnormal observations, he would not ignore them. Precisely the opposite--he would study them--in excruciating detail. Well, with MyFertilityCycle you don't have to go into excruciating detail. Most of the hard work will be done for you because you don't have to learn a complicated coding system. It takes time, yes, but the scientist has the same problem (and believe me I know about that one!). Just follow some basic instructions consistently and you will have a lot more information that you do now.
I think one of the reasons that women think charting won't help is because charting the menstrual cycle is associated with natural family planning. It is dismissed because, there is the perception (and a powerful one) that the only value a "chart" has is in its ability to provide fertility information (i.e., being fertile or not). Well nothing could be farther from the truth. Well kept menstrual cycle observations charted prospectively and accurately contain all sorts of important gynecological clues for solving a wide range of gynecological and reproductive problems.
Knowledge is powerful. Sometimes people construct their own barriers to knowing by forming or accepting opinions about things of which they (or the people they got the information from) have no experience or information about.
