I would like to know how to take my basal body temp and what temperature I am looking for. All that good stuff I have no idea how it works. I have PCO so I need to check on this so that I can know when I ovulate . . . ?? Any info will help, plz.

Thnx :)

You just need a BBT thermometer; you can buy them for $6-10 online or in stores (I got mine at Walgreen's). Take your temp at the same time every morning before you even get out of bed. For more charting info, read "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler and visit the handbook at www.fertilityfriend.com.

You said you have PCO... are you working with an RE yet? Also, I believe there are quite a few PCO women on this board... many can be found at the Sisters of Irregularity section, and others can be found on the TTC w/PCOS board:

Good luck to you!

I highly recommend reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Dr. Toni Weschler. This book has everything you need to know about charting temps, cervical fluid, etc. I bought mine used online for about $10.00. Good luck!
