How does BBT Charting “Predict” Ovulation?
BBT charting helps you predict ovulation by determining fertility patterns in your cycle – allowing you to predict ovulation based on your menstrual cycle/BBT history. But because temperature increases take place just following ovulation, BBT charting tells you when you have ovulated, helping you determine when your “window of opportunity” for conception will arrive. Many women use BBT charting and Ovulation Tests together to predict ovulation with increased accuracy. What should my BBT chart record? The chart begins with the first day of the cycle (CD1) and monitors temperature increase on a daily basis – in one-tenth of a degree increments. Check your BBT daily at the same time and record results on your fertility chart or calendar. What temperature changes indicate ovulation? Following ovulation, you can record a minimum body temperature rise of 0.4 to 0.6 degrees – or more. For most women, 96 to 98 degrees is considered a normal basal temperature preceding ovulation.
