What is BBT?

Question

Somebody please inform me. I know bbt means basal body temp but When should I check it? And why is it so important? 
Thank you 😊

Answer

Dips don't always mean ovulation. Not everyone has dips before they ovulate. You can't predict when ovulation is going to occur. You can have a positive OPK and not ovulate. BBT is your resting temperature. Your temperature will rise after ovulation to due to the hormone progesterone. BBT charting OPKs and monitoring CM will give you the best time frame for ovulation. Take your temp at the same time every morning before waking, Set and alarm. If you have environmental factors that may alter your temps, like air conditioning or sleeping with mouth open, snoring. Best option would be vaginal temping.

Answer

You should check it before you even get out of bed as soon as you wake up in the morning, I kept mine by my bedside so I could reach it without much movement. It’s important because it more accurately predicts ovulation than OPKs can because OPKs can be wrong if you have pcos. You will get a dip in temperature followed by a rise and that usually signifies ovulation
