Women can track their BBT to find out when they are <a class=HwLinkDefinition data-hwid=sto167434 href=/health-library/sto167434#sto167434-sec rel=Definition> <span class=HwLinkText> ovulating </span> </a> . With this time line, a woman can learn when she is most and least likely to become pregnant.<p>When are you most likely to become pregnant?<p>About 2 weeks before your period you will <a class=HwLinkMultiMedia data-hwid=tp12388 href=/health-library/tp12388#tp12388-sec rel=MultiMedia> <span class=HwLinkText> ovulate </span> </a> , which means that one of your ovaries has released an egg. You are most likely to get pregnant on the day of ovulation and the 5 days before it.<p>When are you least likely to become pregnant?<p>Your egg is fertile for about 12 to 24 hours after you ovulate. Avoiding sex until several days after ovulation may help you prevent pregnancy. Keep in mind that your cycle can change, making it hard to know when you are ovulating. Some women use this information as a form of birth control. But it isn't very reliable for preventing pregnancy.<p>How can you predict when you will ovulate?<p>Your body temperature dips a bit just before your ovary releases an egg. Then, 24 hours after the egg's release, your temperature rises and stays up for several days. Before ovulation, a woman's BBT averages between <span class=Measurement> 97°F (36.1°C) </span> and <span class=Measurement> 97.5°F (36.4°C) </span> . After ovulation, it rises to <span class=Measurement> 97.6°F (36.4°C) </span> to <span class=Measurement> 98.6°F (37°C) </span> .<p>You can track your cycle by taking your BBT every morning. Take your temperature at the same time every day before getting out of bed. Next, record the results on a chart. If you have a somewhat regular cycle, the chart will help you predict when you will ovulate next.<p>What tools do you need to take your basal body temperature?<p>The change in your body temperature is very slight, so you need to use a special thermometer. You can use a regular digital thermometer or buy a basal thermometer. A basal thermometer shows you the temperature in tenths of a degree. This allows you to note tiny changes in body heat. This thermometer is faster and more exact than a regular thermometer.<p>Use a simple <a class=HwLinkExternal href=/sites/default/files/healthwise/media/pdf/hw/form_zx3020.pdf> <span class=HwLinkText> Fahrenheit temperature chart </span> </a> <span class=NoWebPrint> </span> or Celsius temperature chart to track your temperature for several months.<p>Where can you get a basal thermometer?<p>You can find a basal thermometer or digital thermometer in a pharmacy or in the pharmacy section in many grocery stores. You can also find kits that include materials for measuring and charting BBT. These items are low in cost.</div><div class="HwNavigationSection HwSectionRelatedInformation"id=sec-hw202058-RelInfo><h2 class=HwSectionTitle>Related Information</h2><ul><li><a data-hwid=hw214032 href=/health-library/hw214032#hw214035> Fertility Awareness </a></ul></div><div class="HwNavigationSection HwCreditsSection HwCreditsWithoutNavstack HwSectionCredits"id=sec-hw202058-Credits><h2 class=HwSectionTitle>Credits</h2><div class=HwContentInformation><div class=HwLastUpdated><p><span class=HwInfoLabel> Current as of: </span> October 8, 2020</div><div class=HwCredits><p><span class=HwInfoLabel> Author: </span> Healthwise Staff <br> <span class=HwInfoLabel> Medical Review: </span> <br> <span class=HwInfoName> Kathleen Romito MD - Family Medicine </span> <br> <span class=HwInfoName> Adam Husney MD - Family Medicine </span> <br> <span class=HwInfoName> Femi Olatunbosun MB, FRCSC - Obstetrics and Gynecology </span></div></div></div></div><div class=HwCustom id=HwCustomContentBottom></div><div class=HwContentNavigation><div class=HwSectionNavItem id=secNav-hw202058-sec style=display:block><ul><li class=HwContentNavigationNone><li class=HwContentNavigationTop><a href=#top> Top of the page </a><li class=HwContentNavigationNext><p>Next Section:</p> <a class=HwLinkNavstack data-hwid=hw202058 href=/health-library/hw202058#hw202058-RelInfo id=nextLink-hw202058-RelInfo> Related Information </a><li class=HwClear></ul></div><div class=HwSectionNavItem id=secNav-hw202058-RelInfo style=display:none><ul><li class=HwContentNavigationPrev><p>Previous Section:</p> <a class=HwLinkNavstack data-hwid=hw202058 href=/health-library/hw202058#hw202058-sec id=prevLink-hw202058-sec> Topic Overview </a><li class=HwContentNavigationTop><a href=#top> Top of the page </a><li class=HwContentNavigationNext><p>Next Section:</p> <a class=HwLinkNavstack data-hwid=hw202058 href=/health-library/hw202058#hw202058-Credits id=nextLink-hw202058-Credits> Credits </a><li class=HwClear></ul></div><div class=HwSectionNavItem id=secNav-hw202058-Credits style=display:none><ul><li class=HwContentNavigationPrev><p>Previous Section:</p> <a class=HwLinkNavstack data-hwid=hw202058 href=/health-library/hw202058#hw202058-RelInfo id=prevLink-hw202058-RelInfo> Related Information </a><li class=HwContentNavigationTop><a href=#top> Top of the page </a><li class=HwContentNavigationNone><li class=HwClear></ul></div></div><div class=HwContentInformation role=complementary><div class=HwLastUpdated><p><span class=HwInfoLabel> Current as of: </span> October 8, 2020</div><div class=HwCredits><p><span class=HwInfoLabel> Author: </span> <a class=HwLinkDisclaimer href=https://www.healthwise.org/specialpages/legal/abouthw/en> Healthwise Staff </a><p><a class=HwLinkDisclaimer href=https://www.healthwise.org/mdreviewboard.aspx?lang=en-us> <span class=HwInfoLabel> Medical Review: </span> </a> <span class=HwInfoName> Kathleen Romito MD - Family Medicine </span> & <span class=HwInfoName> Adam Husney MD - Family Medicine </span> & <span class=HwInfoName> Femi Olatunbosun MB, FRCSC - Obstetrics and Gynecology </span></div></div></div></div></div><div id=HwFooter><div class="HwLegal HwElement"role=contentinfo xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml><div class=HwLogo><a class=HwLinkExternal href=https://www.healthwise.org/specialpages/legal/abouthw/en> <img alt="Click here to learn about Healthwise"class=HwNoHcMode src=/sites/default/files/healthwise/media/interface/hwlogo.png> <img alt="Click here to learn about Healthwise"class=HwHcMode src=/sites/default/files/healthwise/media/interface/hwlogo_hc.png> </a></div><div class=HwDisclaimer><p>This information does not replace the advice of a doctor.
