Fertile phase and peak day Measure and evaluate basal body temperature When are you most fertile? Start measuring after menstruation Measure immediately after waking up, in bed - even with your eyes closed, but preferably immediately after waking up. The measurement SHOULD always be done at the same time of day Write down the time of day on the cycle sheet - some women notice temperature fluctuations depending on the time of day. Measurement location: you should stay at the same measurement location for the whole cycle! Rectal (in the buttocks) - not very susceptible to interference, 3 minutes measurement time, most accurate core body temperature (recommended by us) Vaginal (in the vagina) - make sure that it does not slip out, measuring time 5min Oral/ sublingual - (in the mouth under the tongue!) - more susceptible to interference, application must be correct - directly on the frenulum, with closed, mouth, measuring time 3 min If your thermometer beeps before, try if it still continues to measure and measure 3min Round correctly: If the back digit is 0,1,2,8,9 then round to 0. If the back digit is 3,4,5,6,7 then round to 5 Disturbing factors falsify your curve, therefore they should be marked Partying and/or alcohol or drug use, stress or excitement, illness,fever, vacation,jet lag,different environment, time change, little/bad sleep, intense heat at night Night duty:Go to bed after night duty and measure after you wake up. In case of shift work, the measurement method is only recommended to a limited extent. This is usually 1-2 days before ovulation or temperature increase and can be recognized by the cervical mucus. The peak day is only recognizable retrospectively, because it is the last day with p+ quality (no matter whether by feeling or appearance of the cervical mucus) After the peak day, a sudden dryness sets in. One should use especially the p+ days to have sexual intercourse Once the temperature has risen, ovulation is most likely over and the chance is only small
