Measuring basal body temperature

This method is preferred by many girls and women, it is recommended by doctors because it is economical, precise one, it can be used on their own at home. This is possible because the body temperature is influenced by the work of hormones may increase or decrease. Therefore, the measurement of basal body temperature shows the work of the female body, ovulation, or the absence of pregnancy.

To use this method, the temperature should be measured at least 3-6 menstrual cycles. Only then the overall picture is clear, and it is possible to make decryption of the data. In addition to using basal body temperature to determine ovulation day, you need to know some rules, but under these conditions, everything will be done properly:

• The temperature is measured at the same time every morning;
• basal temperature is measured after a restful night of sleep for a minimum of 3-6 hours;
• mercury thermometer should be measured, and the rest are considered to be less sensitive and less accurate for that, take a thermometer and throughout the measurement time using only his;
• the temperature must be measured through the mouth, rectum or vaginal generally measured through the rectum;
• opted for one embodiment measuring stick permanently his name;
• vaginal thermometer measuring insert to the middle of the temperature measured 5 minutes through the mouth keep the thermometer under the tongue for 3 minutes, through the rectum - the tip of the thermometer, lubricate baby cream to the measurement procedure was less unpleasant, hold 5 minutes;
• baby cream, the thermometer should be prepared in advance in the evening to the morning you can do everything quietly, without unnecessary movements;
• before the measurement can not get up to make sudden movements, prepare a thermometer so that you can reach him slow movement;
• it makes no sense to measure the temperature of the case:'re viral diseases, taking contraceptives, drugs, prohibited during temperature measurement, on the eve of taking alcohol, entered the eve of measurement in sexual intercourse;
• the findings should be made to the table after it is made up of graph that you can see whether there was ovulation.

In the measurement of basal body temperature Please note that after the lessons that the time each hour the temperature will rise, and assume that these figures can not be accurate. If, for example, you wake up earlier in the toilet, but then again you want to lie down, then you first need to measure the temperature and only then do other things. Basal temperature graph is a boundary between the first and second phase of the cycle. The ovulation day is usually considered to be the lowest temperature, and then rises.

This phenomenon is absolutely normal, as under the influence of the hormone progesterone prepares the body in pregnancy, if there is no fertilization, the temperature again before menstruation comes back to normal, gradually falling.

In this method has its pros and cons.

Pros:

• inexpensive method - the only thing you need to buy a thermometer to measure basal body temperature;
• suitable for women with irregular menstrual cycles;
• the method can also be used in the future to prevent unwanted pregnancy (to avoid sexual intercourse during the most fertile days).

Drawbacks:

• inconvenience - it is necessary to measure the temperature every morning, and the nature of the cervical mucus should be monitored throughout the day;
• If you suddenly get sick, all the results will be in vain, as the disease and even a change of climate or work can lead to menstrual irregularities, which would negate the whole picture of this month;
• for a relatively precise definition of the day of ovulation tracking will have to engage in at least 2-3 months, preferably six months.

Pharmacy tests

This is a good way of working on the principle of measuring the level of luteinizing hormone in urine. These tests can be purchased without a prescription at any pharmacy. But they are a good helper only if you have a regular menstrual cycle and there is no shortage of luteinizing hormone. In the second case, the test may show that ovulation was not, in fact, it came. But with a regular cycle, you can use them.

The tests show a positive result is already the day before ovulation, it gives more time for planning sexual activity with a view to a possible conception. The principle of these tests is based on the fact that the level of luteinizing hormone increases before ovulation, therefore, more likely from one of your ovaries will come out of the egg. In the calculation, if the second test strip is weak, it is also necessary to take into account.

The advantages of this method are greater accuracy, ease than in the measurement of basal body temperature and ovulation prediction 6 hours before its occurrence, which facilitates the timing of intercourse. In addition, do not need to deal with every day counts, it suffices to use the test in mid-cycle. When purchasing be sure to look at the expiration date.

But there are also disadvantages. These tests are not cost-effective option, as quite expensive, and for one cycle will have to spend 20-50 dollars on them. This method does not work well in women who have irregular menstrual cycles. In addition, if you are taking drugs that improve fertility, ovulation test can show unreliable results.

These variants are the most common, to calculate ovulation. How to take advantage of the ways, you decide: to engage in the construction of graphs of basal temperature or just buy in a drugstore test.
