Fertility charting to track ovulation.
Did you know that there are tools you can use to help you plan the best times for sex?
If you are struggling with your fertility or have been trying to get pregnant, a good starting place is your menstrual cycle. You can time ovulation by charting your menstrual cycle with a BBT Chart.
What is a BBT?
BBT, or basal body temperature, is your body’s lowest temperature in a 24-hour period. It is usually your body temperature during sleep or rest time. You should measure your basal body temperature at the same time every day, immediately after you wake up and before you get out of bed.
A BBT chart tells you when you’ve ovulated.
Tracking the changes in BBT in the first month may not seem to be very helpful at first because the spike on your chart indicated the end of ovulation; it’s over. But, once you start making a monthly basal body temperature chart, you will be able to notice a pattern that will help you to predict the next time you are due to ovulate.
Why would you want to time ovulation?
So you can plan to have sex during your most fertile times! The day that your basal body temperature is at its highest is the day you will be most fertile. The few days leading up to this day will also be some of your most fertile. If you’re charting your BBT to plan intercourse, it will help you identify the days you are most fertile and likely to conceive.
Why would you plan to have sex?
You have a very short period of time where you can get pregnant each month (only about 1 day).
