To monitor ovulation on your own, you can measure your basal body temperature (BBT) daily in the morning before getting out of bed.
Charting your BBT will come in handy if you:
- want to determine your most fertile days
- want to monitor and understand the processes taking place in your body
- want to predict menstruation
- suspect hormonal imbalance and reproductive system failures
The BBT chart may warn you about the "unsafe" days during which your should refrain from unprotected sex to avoid unwanted pregnancy (provided your cycle is stable, periods are regular, and the measurements are accurate).
However, this is not the most effective method because it depends on many factors (stress, illness, poor sleep, measurement accuracy, etc.)
You shouldn't rely on this method alone.
