Charting question: what the temps tell?
| Wed, 08-13-2003 - 10:19am |
I'm a brand new charter! I know temps take a dip when AF is very near, but what do temps do around ovulation?? Do they indicate the best time to BD?
Thanks ladies!

I am by no means an expert (since I am still TTC#1), but I had a lot of help from www.fertilityfriend.com. You can enter your temps and other info there and the website gives you day and cycle specific information and help. I do know that your temp typically dips the day before O, and rises a lot the day of O. You can tell if you have O'd because the temps stay high for a few days (for me almost until AF tracks me down).
Good Luck, and I hope this helps.

BBT gives an excellent retrospective - it shows you when ovulation has occurred, past tense - but is not reliable for ovulation prediction. Some, but not all, women will get a slight temp dip in the day before ovulation... but again, this only happens to some women some cycles.
