Basal Temperature Chart

BBT stands for Basal Body Temperature (your body's temperature at rest). A basal thermometer measures your temperature to .1 degree Fahrenheit, a little bit more precise than a standard thermometer. You can find them at most chemist stores. The key is to take your temperature first thing in the morning before you do anything else, including speak, get out of bed, etc. Also try to do this at the same time each day.

This spreadsheet is geared toward women who are trying to conceive. It will help you find the pattern to your ovulation and maximize your chances of getting pregnant. It will also give you information to provide your doctor if you suspect a problem.

For information on how to read the charts or how to monitor your body for fertility signs, please contact your physician or see the Essential Reading page.

Print out a few copies to write on in your bedroom and then chart the information on the computer later in the day and with more detail.

You can also find more information in our Conception section.
