Question about Ovulation, and Temp Rise.
| Thu, 01-22-2009 - 8:14am |
So Since Saturday, my temp is saying it has been rising. I have Long :periods:. I just started ttc earlier this month, so i just have the temps from like the 3rd on.
I thought i might have ovulated last Tues or wend. because my cervix dropped and seemed to close.... and just Saturday i started to get some kind of rise....
I guess the question is... Could it take 3 or 4 days after i ovulate for my temps to Start to rise? Thanks in advance!!!!


Do you have a chart you can share? Once you ovulate your temp will rise and stay up above a range you haven't had on your chart before and it will stay with an occasional dip but not always.
Following ovulation, your temperature can increase by 0.4 to 1.0 degrees. You won't feel the shift, but you can detect it by using a basal body temperature (BBT) thermometer. This temperature spike indicates that you've ovulated, because releasing an egg stimulates the production of the hormone progesterone, which raises body temperature.
You're most fertile in the two or three days before your temperature hits its high point. A few experts think you may have an additional 12- to 24-hour window of fertility after you first notice the temperature creep up, but most say that at that point, it's too late to make a baby.
