My fertile days: practical example to interpret the baseline temperature table

I have filled in this baseline temperature table as an example to read your results. When, over several months, we observe that the data in our tables are repeated regularly, it is when you can "predict" more or less reliably the moment of the next ovulation and have these tables served to try to get pregnant.

The cycle in this example table is 32 days, that is, from the first day of menstruation until the rule goes back down, on day 33, when we would have to start filling in the data in a new table. To obtain the basal temperature tables, you can take this model and print it.

The first 4 days in the example table correspond to menstruation (M). The significant increase in temperature occurs on day 16. That means we have ovulated on day 13 or 14. The first 15 days of the cycle the temperature is around 36.6 ° C with slight variations.

The second part of the cycle has produced a temperature rise and the temperature is around 37 ° C. In the final days of the cycle, when the menstruation approaches again, there is a decrease in the temperature until it is in the values ​​similar to those that started the table (36.6 ° C).

In this table, which covers from March 1 to April 1 (it could be any other date, such as from March 7 to April 7, always taking the first date of the first rule), the most favorable days to get pregnant they are marked in green, from March 13 to 17.

We remember that the basal temperature method is not reliable as a contraceptive, since it is not able to predict a possible irregularity (the temperature does not increase until two or three days after the ovulation has occurred), and therefore a pregnancy could not occur. desired in that irregular cycle.

Also that for the annotations to be reliable they have to be done for several months and you have to follow some guidelines to take the basal temperature correctly.

Hopefully this example of baseline temperature table I help you to interpret your data correctly and to know your fertile days to achieve pregnancy.
