I. WHAT IS A BASAL TEMPERATURE?
A basal temperature is the normal body temperature of a healthy person immediately upon
awakening after a restful night's sleep. More precisely, it is the body temperature measured under
so-called "basal conditions" (12 hours after eating, after a restful sleep, no exercise, no emotional
excitement, normal room temperature).
For optimum accuracy, your basal temperature should be taken at the same time every morning
upon waking. Changes in basal temperature are related to changes in the female reproductive
cycle. By taking your basal temperature daily and charting it, you can notice slight changes and
patterns. These charts of your basal temperature, in addition to other information, can help you
understand your menstrual cycle and ovulation.The basal temperature method can be used to help
in family planning. Charting of temperature and prediction of ovulation can be used to time sexual
intercourse during fertile days to aid in increasing the likelihood of pregnancy.
II. CHARTING YOUR BASAL TEMPERATURE
By charting your basal temperature daily, you can see a pattern and notice the changes that
occur in every ovulation cycle. You can record your basal temperature on the enclosed charts.
Keeping a charted record for at least three months will usually provide the information you need
to determine your approximate day of ovulation during a regular menstrual cycle. Most women
keep both the Ovulation Digital Thermometer and Temperature Tracking Chart at their bedsides
for convenience.
