While the statutory language does not delineate between employees and interns or trainees, a U.S. Supreme Court opinion issued in 1947 and the U.S. Department of Laborâs subsequent six-part test provide helpful guidance regarding the FLSAâs application to interns.
Basal Body Temperature (BBT) is your body temperature at rest (wake up time). BBT rises after ovulation due to increased progesterone released from the corpus luteum after ovulation. Ovulation can be detected on a fertility chart for the day BEFORE the temperature rises.
Recording each day's body temperature - and charting the pattern of temperature changes - will help pinpoint when when ovulation has occurred and determine future patterns for predicting ovulation. Note that a sudden rise in your basal thermometer reading does not mean you are about to ovulate - it means that you have just ovulated.
