Feel like you’re doing ALL OF THE THINGS when it comes to tracking your menstrual cycle and ovulation?


BUT for some reason, there seems to just be that something missing that means things haven’t *quite* clicked into place yet.


When it comes to tracking Basal Body Temperature (BBT), so many women seem to get bogged down in the specifics of daily temperatures and over-analysing the numbers instead of looking at the bigger picture – the overall temperature pattern throughout a cycle.


In this episode of the podcast, I’m sharing the 3 temperature shifts you should be tracking every cycle and what they can tell you about ovulation, your next period and it may even reveal to you one of the earliest signs of pregnancy.

  

Here’s What We’re Talking About:

  • What can your BBT tell you about your fertility?
  • What are we actually looking at when tracking our body temperature?
  • Your options for recording BBT
  • Key Temperature Shift #1 – Confirming Ovulation
  • Key Temperature Shift #2 – Predicting Your Period
  • Key Temperature Shift #3 – A Sign of Implantation
  • Temperature dips
  • Why BBT can be unreliable
