Can anyone tell me when I can start check my basal temperature and at what level will I know if I ovulate or not?

Thanks.

You should start checking your temp the 1st day of your AF. Due it when your first wake up, even before you get out of bed.

You'll know when you have O'd when your temp remains above cover level for at least 3 consectutive days.

You can chart with them for free and will be best at answering your questions.

I suggest reading the book by Toni Weschler, "Taking Charge of your Fertility".

It fully explains charting.

One of the down sides to charting is you won't know you've ovulated until it's already happened.

Good luck,
