Welcome to the world of femSense^®Ovulation Detection! By utilizing the advanced technology of the femSense^®patch, this innovative method empowers you to accurately track your body temperature, providing valuable insights into your fertility. In this article, we will delve into the fascinating details of the temperature method and discover how it can play a crucial role in detecting ovulation.

What is the Basal Body Temperature?

Did you know that your basal body temperature, which is your temperature when you're fully at rest, can actually reveal vital clues about your fertility? As early as 1935, German priest Wilhelm Hillebrand recognized the significance of basal body temperature in relation to ovulation and pregnancy. Today, based on the pioneering work of Hillebrand and others, women around the world are using this temperature-based method to gain insight into their ovulation and fertility, allowing them to take control of their reproductive health and plan their families with confidence.

Hormonal Influence on your Basal Body Temperature

Understanding the intricacies of the menstrual cycle is key to unlocking the secrets of ovulation and fertility. The cycle commences with the onset of a woman's period, marking the beginning of the follicular phase. During this phase, higher levels of estrogen lead to basal body temperature fluctuations within a lower range. As ovulation takes place and the luteal phase commences, progesterone levels rise, causing the basal body temperature to fluctuate within a higher range. This increase in progesterone, released by the corpus luteum, the remnant of the ovarian follicle that released a mature egg, triggers a subtle but significant rise in basal body temperature, serving as a dependable indicator that ovulation has occurred.

Using the Temperature Method

While the basal body temperature method has been established as a reliable approach, it has traditionally been deemed challenging to implement with precision. The accuracy of measuring basal body temperature precisely and identifying the subtle rise (0.2° - 0.5°C) associated with ovulation has proven to be a formidable task. Daily temperature tracking entails diligent adherence to a fixed schedule, measuring upon waking up and documenting the readings consistently throughout the month. Factors like alcohol intake, sleep patterns, and illness must also be considered, adding further complexity to the process.
