What Is a Basal Body Temperature (BBT) ?
Basal temperature is the lowest normal body temperature of a person immediately upon awakening in the morning. You should take your temperature, orally under the tongue, every morning before you do anything else - even before you get out of bed!! Just the act of getting up increases body temperature so keep the thermometer right by the bed. You should then write down the temperature recorded. The temperature rise (spike) takes place shortly after ovulation and will stay slightly elevated until you start your next period.
Why should I keep a BBT chart?
There is only a very small window within each cycle when your body releases an egg. This window, which may last only 36 hours, is the only time you can get pregnant during that cycle so knowing how to pinpoint the timing when the egg is released can be very important.
How does a basal digital thermometer help?
Basically there is a slight temperature drop just before ovulation occurs and then a distinct temperature rise of about 0.40 to 1.0 degrees after ovulation takes place. By plotting your temperature change during your cycle you will know when you have ovulated.
But don't I need to know before I ovulate not after?
Yes, that is why we recommend that this digital basal thermometer is used in conjunction with ovulation tests. Additionally the completion of the BBT chart will also help identify ovulation timing by noting bodily changes too.
What other bodily changes should I look for to know when I am about to ovulate?
The consistency of cervical mucus changes throughout the menstrual cycle. Usually after you finish your bleed you will have 3/4 days when you have dry days. The wetness then increases daily usually lasting about 9 days at which point the mucus will become plentiful, slippery, clear and stretchy. The best comparison is that it is like egg whites and at this point it is a good sign that ovulation will occur in the next couple of days. After ovulation occurs the mucus will again become more sticky less stretchy and then dryer again.
How do I get this BBT chart and what does it look like?
Very simply we will email one to you free of charge when you purchase a digital thermometer from us. You can then use it on your computer or simply print it out and use it every month. When completed it will look something like the chart below for a typical month.
The red line indicates the normal basal body temperature for a woman before getting up - about 0.8 degrees below normal body temperature during the day. The dots represent the daily recorded temperature and you just connect the dots each day with a line to join them. Other information is added such as the results of the ovulation tests, condition of your cervical mucus and days when intercourse took place, etc.

Digital Basal Thermometer
A Basal Thermometer is an important buy if you are planning on charting your basal body temperature
(BBT) so that you can find out when you are about to ovulate. Being able to pinpoint this time is vital in being able to plan the timing of sexual intercourse, which will hopefully lead to conception. When a woman ovulates, a rise in body temperature takes place in order to provide a more fertile environment for conception. By monitoring when this temperature change occurs, you can determine when ovulation takes place in your cycle. Recording each day's basal body temperature with a basal thermometer will help you predict ovulation!
