Detecting ovulation based on body temperature

If you want to maximize your chances of getting pregnant, taking your body temperature can help you know when to conceive.


  • During your cycle, your temperature fluctuates.
  • If your cycle is not regular, analyzing your temperature curve can help you identify when you are ovulating, that is, when you are most fertile.
  • From the beginning of your cycle (first day of menstruation) to day 14, your temperature is pretty much the same, around 98,6 °F. It drops sharply just before ovulation and then rises back above 98,6 °F. It is this sharp drop that you need to spot.
  • For a reliable result, always take your temperature at the same time, in the morning when you get up.

So just ordered some more ovulation strips plus a basal body thermometer when you check your temperature do you do it once you wake up or what ? This my first time using thermometer and just log it into Premom?

What's your cervical #mucus feels like after #ovulation if you have conceived? Because I'm dry down there. But having tender breasts, a little high body temperature and feeling very little #nauseous!!
