Question

Can someone please explain to me how measuring your temperature works ? I’m cycle day 1 today ( on af ) when do I start testing ? and when do I know I’ve ovulated ? Temp goes higher or lower ? I do opk’s and get positives but that just isn’t enough by the looks of things .

Answer

I will be happy to explain it. I had same questions until I looked them up. But u take ur temp every single day. U don’t have to on ur period but u can if u want. The day after u ovulate, u will see a temp increase. Oh and u have to take ur temp when u wake up laying in bed before u talk or move or anything. So keep it by ur bed and set an alarm. Once u start moving ur temp will increase and mess up the accuracy. After u ovulate ur temp will stay increased until ur next period. Now sometimes when the egg implants, the temp will drop but it will go back up the next day. If u have missed ur period and ur temp stays up then ur pregnant most likely. But ur temp cannot drop below your highest temp measurement that u had on the days before ovulation. For instance. My temp runs 97.1-97.4. So after I ovulate, if my temp doesn’t drop below the highest 97.4 temp that I got before ovulation, then I’m likely preggers. If u do see a drop for one day then it goes back up and that’s 7-10 days after ovulation, that might be implantation drop. But if it drops around when ur period is supposed to come on, then ur not pregnant and ur period is fixing to start bc it decreases as ur period comes on and starts over! Hope that helps you!
