	Fertility Awareness
		This approach combines several methods of monitoring your body's changes during your menstrual cycle, such as measuring your basal body temperature, observing the changes in your cervical mucus, hormone monitoring, and watching for signs of ovulation (such as breast tenderness, abdominal pain, and mood changes).
		Basal body temperature is measured using a special basal body (or ovulation) thermometer marked in fractions of a degree to allow more precise temperature measurements than an ordinary thermometer.

	Basal Body Temperature Method
		Basal Body Temperature Method Or BBT seems to be the most chosen method by those who are trying to conceive and their first time using one of the three well known conception methods.
		The way Basal Body Temping theoretically works is during that 24 hr time period of ovulation a woman’s body temperature rises a few degrees and when she has conceived her temperature rises and stays risen which indicates to the woman using the method that she has had success in becoming pregnant.
		After having sex the woman keeps track of her temperature to see if it rises and if it does infact rise then there is a good possibility she had success in becoming pregnant since the body would work a little harder to care for a embryo which would bring the rise in temperature.

	Basal Body Temperature Method
		Like the rhythm method, the body temperature method attempts to pin point the time of the month when ovulation is taking place.
		This method is considered more reliable than the rhythm method because there is a daily effort to chart the stages of the menstrual cycle.
		This method should be learned from your doctor, family planning center or from an experienced couple.

	CONTRACEPTIVE: Basal Body Temperature
		Since your temperature rises slightly around the time of ovulation, finding the sustained spike in your core temperature will alert you as to when you are most fertile during your monthly cycle.
		The symptom-thermal method requires the use of a special type of thermometer that is designed to read the minute changes in your temperature and only has a range of a few degrees.
		While basal temperature thermometers are available in the traditional glass thermometer style, many women prefer the new digital thermometers, as they are easy to use and clearly display your temperature.

	Ask the Experts: Can Basal Body Temperature Diagnose a Thyroid Condition? -- Questions Answered by Top Practitioners / ...
		As a side note to you, my basal temperature for the 3 days ranged from 95.8 to 96.8, though my TSH level at my last doctor was in the normal range (that doctor has been "fired" by me).
		For people who are wondering if their health problems are due totally or in part to an underactive thyroid, basal temperature testing is not the only diagnostic maneuver that I use, but it is one additional piece of data along with symptoms, family history, related conditions, and signs of abnormality upon physical examination.
		Most likely their basal temperature will still be low, suggesting a need for further medicine, and I endorse people going along with that suggestion regardless of TSH levels.

		The natural methods are based on the observation of naturally occurring signs and symptoms of the fertile and infertile phase of the menstrual cycle.

		One of the most controversial methods are contraceptive pills, or oral contraceptives, which contain hormones such as oestrogen and progestagen, female sex-steroids, which are synthetically produced in laboratories and resemble the natural hormones produced by the ovary glands during a woman's menstrual cycle.

	Basal Body Temp - In Determining Risk of Pregnancy
		Basal Body Temperature (BBT) is your body's resting/waking temperature, normally it is used to chart a woman's fertility patterns.
		As progesterone gets into the bloodstream, one of its effects is to cause the body's temperature to rise slightly, usually occurring about two days after ovulation, depending on the individual.
		This change would not be noticeable with a regular fever thermometer, but with a digital or basal thermometer, the change is noticeable, and even more so when the temps are recorded on a chart.
