I. WHAT IS A BASAL TEMPERATURE?

A basal temperature is the normal body temperature of a healthy person immediately upon awakening

after a restful nights' sleep. More precisely, it is the body temperature measured under so called basal

conditions (12 hours after eating, after a restful sleep, no exercise, no emotional excitement, normal

room temperature).

For optimum accuracy, your basal temperature should be taken at the same time every morning upon

waking. Changes in basal temperature are related to changes in the female reproductive cycle. By taking

your basal temperature daily and charting it, you can notice slight changes and patterns. These charts of

your basal temperature, in addition to other information, can help you understand your menstrual cycle

and ovulation. Recording and interpreting basal temperature changes is called the "Basal Temperature

Method".

The Basal Temperature Method can be used to help in family planning. Charting of temperature and pre-

diction of ovulation can be used to time sexual intercourse during fertile days to aid in increasing the

likelihood of pregnancy.

II. CHARTING YOUR BASAL TEMPERATURE

By charting your basal temperature daily, you can see a pattern and notice the changes that occur in every

ovulation cycle. You can record your daily basal temperature on the enclosed charts.

Keeping a charted record for at least three months will usually provide the information you need to deter-

mine your approximate day of ovulation during a regular menstrual cycle. Most women keep both the

OviTrack

Basal Thermometer and Temperature Tracking Chart at their bedside, for convenience.
