Testing For Ovulation
Helps monitor different phases of your menstrual cycle.
Take temp in the morning when you wake at the same time each day.
Ovulation = rise of 0.5-1.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
Increased body temperature for several days usually indicates ovulation has occurred.
Basal body temperatures cannot be used to predict ovulation, as the temperature rise does not occur until after ovulation, but can confirm that ovulation has occurred, which is helpful in planning for the next cycle.
When to See a Doctor
Period that lasts longer than 8 days or more (anything longer than 8 days is not normal)
Irregular / Heavy periods
Pain during and after intercourse
Having more than one period in a one month cycle
