If you follow my blog or social media posts, you have no doubt heard me discuss the importance of taking your basal body temperatures. But maybe you still don’t know how to take basal body temperatures. If not, this weeks blog is a short video that will explain exactly how to take them. But it’s so easy, I’m going to break it down for you right here:
- Buy a thermometer such as Fair Haven Health Digital Basal Body Thermometer
- Keep it on your nightstand
- Upon waking take your temp orally (before going to the bathroom, talking, sitting up, etc.)
- Record the data on an app on your phone, or on paper
You’ll want to take your basal body temperatures at the same time every morning. If you wake up more than an hour past your usual wake up time, just skip taking it (as the temp will be about half a degree higher than usual). And just to make it a littler easier for you, here’s this weeks video in case you want more info.
