Answer 1

Mine was about 97.1 regular, then spiked 1 degree to 98.1 the day before I ovulated. I'm not sure that it's so important where you start, but that you are able to see that spike of about 1/2 to 1 degree.

It all really depends on your own personal cycle. Everyone is different. If you have an average 28 day cycle, they you should ovulate on about the 14th or 15th day of your cycle. If you are trying to conceive there are options to determine the precise time of ovulation, with temperature testing. You can go to any drugstore and pick-up ovulation sticks. They are fairly inexpensive, I remember when I was testing, I purchased a box for only about $10. It only has a small supply, so use them wisely. I suggest testing around the 11th or 12th day of the month, to really narrow in on precise timelines. They work well, and they sort of resemble pregnancy sticks. When you can the "positive" sign, it means that you are beginning ovulation. The darker the line, the more chance of pregnancy. But, on average, the 14th day of the month is when you are most fertile.

Remember, One of the most important elements in charting is to identify the days during your cycle that you are most fertile so you may be sure to have intercourse on those days to increase your chances of conception.

Before ovulation, a woman's basal body temperature (BBT) generally ranges from 97.5 to 98.2 degrees Fahrenheit on average, though it can vary occasionally and be higher or lower. When ovulating, the ovary releases progesterone, a warmth inducing hormone. Generally, a woman’s temperature will not change more than 0.5 degrees during the follicular phase, it will go up at least 0.2 degrees at ovulation and it will stay above the coverline (line drawn at temperature increase for ovulation) during the luteal phase. Within days of menstruation the temperature usually decreases to pre-ovulation levels. Pregnancy causes a woman's BBT to remain elevated beyond the 14 days after ovulation, therefore experiencing higher temperatures past the expected date of menstruation can be the first symptom of pregnancy.


Best of luck to you.

I know I had to do it once can't remember the temps. but my doctor told me to take my temp right before I got out of bed would be the best results. But also I think he had me do it for at least 3 mos. because things could change in that time with stress, health, diet, and sleep so I know the temps would be up and down for me each month. But I think you would pick the highest point on the chart.

there is a kit that you can get that will tell you when you are ovulating. you can get it at walmart. its a tube like thing that you spit in, it has a light and plastic screen on one end and the top of it is a magnifying glass that you look through. let it dry than look in it and it depends on how the spit looks weather to are ovulating or not. it sounds gross but its not that bad and it works.
this web site tells about it. i dont know who much they are, i got mine at walmart i think for like 20.00 or less.
