Estrogen also causes some glands in the cervix to secrete a mucus discharge that is necessary 

for fertility. This mucus changes the environment in the vagina to make it more favorable to sperm 

life and provides a medium in which the sperm move upward into the uterus. The mucus typically 

starts as a sticky substance. During the time of fertility, it becomes more liquid and plentiful usually 

attaining a consistency very similar to raw egg whites. Sometimes the mucus becomes so watery 

that is will no longer stretch like raw egg whites, but continues to produce sensations of lubrication 

or wetness at the outer lips of the vagina.

B. WHAT IS OVULATION?

At ovulation, the ovarian follicle releases an egg which is picked up by one of the fallopian tubes 

and transported toward the uterus. In order for pregnancy to occur, the egg must be fertilized in 

the fallopian tube by sperm within 24 hours after ovulation. After 24 hours the egg disintegrates 

and cannot be fertilized.

C. AFTER OVULATION?

After ovulation, the ovarian follicle that released the egg secretes another hormone called 

progesterone. This hormone suppresses further ovulation. The progesterone continues to build the 

vaginal lining and maintains it after ovulation. It also causes the basal temperature to rise and the 

cervical mucus to thicken so much that it appears to dry up.

Ovarian progesterone secretion continues for approximately 14 days. When it stops, the inner lining 

of the uterus can no longer be maintained, so it is discharged off in a process called menstruation 

(your period), and the menstrual cycle starts again.

D. HOW TO DETERMINE THE DATE OF OVULATION?

By carefully taking basal temperatures upon waking and recording them on a chart, the 

characteristic rise in temperature after ovulation can be observed. The Ovulation Digital 

Thermometer makes it easy to read and record the slight temperature variations which occur when 

ovulation has taken place.

The Ovulation Digital Thermometer may be used as an oral, rectal or vaginal thermometer. Since 

body temperature will vary with each site you should choose one method and stick with it.

E. TEMPERATURE RANGES (ORAL) BEFORE AND AFTER OVULATION

Your basal temperature before ovulation is usually in the range of 35.8°C to 36.7°C (97.4°F to 

97.7°F). The most frequent range is between 36.3°C to 36.5°C (96.5°F to 98°F). After ovulation the 

basal temperature rises about 0.3°C (0.5°F)  and stays in that higher range until the beginning of 

the next menstrual period. The highest probability of conception is during the days immediately 

prior to ovulation as well as on the day of ovulation itself.
