New to bbt...can someone explain?

Question

So we've been ttc baby 3 since last may. I've always used opk and that's it to track ovulation. 
Since I'm nursing I'm ovulating around CD 18-20 and my luteal phase is about 7 days so my dr gave me clomid to start days 5-9 my next cycle along with a bbt chart.
I'm logging my bbt but what does any of this mean? How will I know the day of ovulation? All of this looks so confusing and intimidating.

Answer

Glow has some great info, it’s located where the bbt chart is. It’s one of the links at the top. I highly suggest to read through the articles. I temp every day. Before you get out of bed, pee or do anything. You also need to sleep for at least 2-3 hours for it to be accurate and temp around the same time each day... I never tempted at the same time but I do make sure I tempt before I pee or get up for the day or move too much.  You need 6 previous tempts to show ovulation.  If you have 3 higher tempts than the last 6 it can indicate ovulation, typically your temp will stay above your cover line (6 previous tempts) for 14 days if it dips and continues to dip below the cover line that indicates your period coming. If it stays above the cover line for 16+ days that typically indicates pregnancy but that can only be determined by a test. If your 
temp dips down below the cover line for one day then back up that could be an implantation dip.  Good luck!!
