When you are charting how much of a temp. rise do you normally see after ovulation?

The temp varies from woman to woman however you will see a definite spike if your are ovulating. I'm sure you are seeing the little spikes as your body starts to make its changes for ovulation, however this spike is a higher temp then you normal average. If this is your first month of doing the temp taking don't pressure yourself so much this month, get a feel of taking your temp and then use the grid for next month to compare so you know where your temp is when you ovulate. I used to have to fax mine to my specialist and he would call and say I was ovulating, however after the first month I new by reading my grid. The other thing you can do is a home ovulating kit, while it's more expensive there is less guess work. Good luck to you!

I went through a natural family planning course a numebr of yrs ago and 4 tenths of a defgree stands out in my mind for some reason. I know it is not much. Once you have elvated temps for 21 days you are pregnant. Like I said I think that elevation can be a matter of only 4 tenths of a degree. The basal thermometer only measures small increments liek that, if you are using a normal themr you might consider gettign a basal.

Mine was usually 1.5-2.5 degrees higher. Try to get an average of your normal temp and you should notice a distinct difference when you ovulate.
