What is the difference between a monophasic and biphasic graph?
Mono means 1 and bi means 2. So it could be that a monophasic graph will only have one line or piece of info and a biphasic graph will have two lines or two bits of info or will be two graphs next to each other as a comparison. OR Basal Body Temperature Chart Basal temperature graphs are often helpful in determining if and when ovulation has occurred. In a normal ovulatory cycle, the basal temperature will be 1/2° to 1° higher during the second half of the cycle (post-ovulation) than it will be during the first half of the cycle (pre-ovulation). Ovulation occurs at the time of the shift from the lower temperature levels to the higher temperature levels. This is referred to as a “biphasic graph.” If ovulation does not occur, a relatively flat graph is seen, without a definite temperature shift (monophasic graph). Conception can only occur at or around the time of ovulation. Therefore, intercourse or abstinence should occur at this time, depending on whether pregnancy is desired during t
