mmkay lol, since i just learned this too...

AF is Aunt Flo (your period...)

With body temperature, your temperature gets higher after you ovulate, and then lowers again when you get your period, but only in the morning when you wake up, and whne you are pregnant your body temperature should stay elevated, even when your not ovulating.

:) hope i explained it right, someone correct me if i'm wrong...

Hi! AF is aunt flow ( menstrual cycle) You temp in the mornings before you get up with a Digital Basal body themometer ( you can buy these for 8.00 )alot of woman use a regular themometer but they are not near as accurate. You record your temp everymorn and after you ovulate you will see a second level rise. It is very easy to do. You also need to check your cervical fluid and record it.

here is my chart to kind of show you. Also you can get a free account with FF and it also has a hand book to tell you everything you need to know !Also I check temps orally it is easier than vaginally.
