How can charting my basal body temperature (BBT) help to diagnose anovulation?
A Your BBT should rise about 1ยก just after you ovulate, about 2 weeks before your next period is due to begin. If there is no rise in your BBT at mid-cycle, you may not be ovulating. BBT charting cannot predict ovulation, but it may confirm that ovulation has occurred. Q What treatments are available to me? A If you are not ovulating, your doctor may prescribe a medication to stimulate your ovulation. If you decide to take medication to ovulate, your doctor will want to monitor you carefully to see if and when you are ovulating. Monitoring usually involves ultrasound and blood tests.
