What Is Ovulation and the Process of Conception?

A picture is worth a thousand words, as they say so we’ve included a brief video (remember to turn up the sound) that we believe offers a great quick overview of ovulation covering the entire conception process (fertilization and implantation) from the egg leaving the ovary all the way to the fertilized egg implanting, which marks the start of pregnancy triggers HCG production, and begins embryo growth.

When a woman ovulates, her body temperature goes up to create a better environment for getting pregnant. By keeping an eye on this temperature shift, you can figure out when ovulation happens in your cycle. Taking your morning temperature every day with a Zoom Baby thermometer will help you guess when you’re ovulating!

What Is My BBT?

Your basal body temperature (BBT for short) is your resting body temperature i.e. your temperature when you are at rest.

When Should I Take My Temperature?

Take your temperature first thing in the morning, before you even get out of bed. Put the thermometer under your tongue for an oral reading. Keep it right by your bed so you don’t have to move around, which can make your body temp go up. Make sure to write down what you see on the thermometer. Your temperature will jump up a bit soon after you ovulate, and it’ll stay a little higher until your next period starts.

How Do I Measure My BBT?

You will need to use a high accuracy clinical thermometer- the easiest to use is a digital thermometer that measures to 2 decimal places.

Where Do I Put the Thermometer to Measure My BBT?

For most women the best & simplest place to measure your BBT is under your tongue.

How Long Do I Leave the Digital Thermometer Under My Tongue?

Most digital thermometers will beep when they have reached a stable temperature, making it quick and easy to know when to remove the thermometer. It usually takes around 1-2 minutes for this to happen.

What Do I Do with the Basal Body Temperature Results?

You will need to chart the BBT results on a temperature chart, so that you will be able to see the pattern develop.

Fancy making your BBT charting a breeze? Pop your thermometer and chart on your bedside table before hitting the hay. Set a gentle alarm for the same time each morning – consistency’s key! If you’re a bit bleary-eyed, jot down your reading or use a smart app to track it. Don’t fret if you miss a day; it happens to the best of us. Remember, BBT’s just one piece of the fertility puzzle. Pairing it with other signs, like cervical mucus changes, gives you a clearer picture of your cycle. Patience is your friend – it might take a few months to spot your unique patterns.

Is There Anything I Should Not Do When Doing My BBT?

Moving around, eating, drinking, smoking & even talking will raise your temperature, so make sure you do the temperature immediately upon waking each morning. If possible measure it while you are still “half asleep”.

What Else Can Raise My Basal Temperature Apart from Ovulation?

Illness if associated with fever will alter your resting temperature making interpretation of results problematic.

How Does BBT Charting Help Me Predict My Fertile Time?

Tracking your basal temperature helps you figure out if and when you ovulate. Ovulation happens when your ovary releases an egg, which occurs once during each menstrual cycle. You can get pregnant if you have sex right before, during, or right after ovulation.

When you record your basal temperature as soon as you wake up, you’ll start to see a pattern in how your temperature changes throughout your monthly cycle. A small rise in your basal temperature shows that you’re ovulating or fertile.

What Other Bodily Changes Should I Look for to Know When I Am About to Ovulate?

Your cervical mucus changes throughout your menstrual cycle. You’ll have 3-4 dry days after your period ends. Then, the wetness increases for about 9 days. At this point, the mucus becomes abundant, slippery, clear, and elastic. It looks a lot like egg whites, which signals that ovulation will happen in the next couple of days. Once ovulation occurs, the mucus turns sticky and less stretchy before it gets dry again.
