Basal body temperature


When trying to get pregnant, it is good to know your cycle. The most important is to know about your fertile days and the day of your ovulation. Ovulation occurs once a month and the egg is ready to be fertilized 24-36 hours after it is revealed. However, sperms can live in woman's body up to 5 days, there fore about 4 days before ovulation and 1 day after are called fertile days, or fertile window. There are several techniques how to find out when your ovulation is. One of them is basal body temperature measurment. In order to use this method correctly, it is important to know how to measure basal body temperature.

What is Basal body temperature

The basal body temperature is the body temperature of a healthy person on awakening. The BBT rises under the influence of progesterone. Most ovulatory cycles demonstrate a biphasic BBT pattern: lower in the first part of the cycle, rising to a higher level beginning around the time of ovulation, and remaining at the higher level for the rest of the cycle (luteal phase). 

By taking your temperature on a chart each day of your menstrual cycle, you can retrospectively identify when you may have ovulated. However, because the BBT does not give adequate advance warning of ovulation, it cannot be used to identify the start of the fertile time. In order to identify fertile days you need to follow other indicators.

Where to find out how to measure basal body temperature

There are many sources on the web, where you can find about how to measure the basal body temperature. In order to understand this method, I recommend to study it closely and to see example charts, including less clear charts and long cycle charts. As the best source I found a free eBook How to determine your fertile days. It not only tells you about how to measure basal body temperature, but also about other methods to determine your fertile days, such as cervical mucus quality determination, cervix position, ovulation prediction kits tests and fertility saliva tester.
