What Your BBT Chart Is Actually Telling You
Your BBT chart is one of the most underused tools in the fertility space.
Most people, if they've heard of it at all, think it's about finding their fertile window. Knowing when to time intercourse. A tick in the box.
It is so much more than that.
When I look at a BBT chart, I can see whether ovulation actually occurred — and how strongly. I can see if your luteal phase is being well supported. I can see patterns that tell me your nervous system has been under pressure. I can see a spike in temperature mid-cycle and know — before you've told me anything — that something disrupted that cycle. Illness. Stress. A rough week.
One of my clients had a chart that looked, on paper, like she'd ovulated beautifully. She hadn't. She'd had a virus and the fever temporarily pushed her temperatures up. When she recovered, her temps dropped back down. The chart told the whole story.
This is what I mean when I say BBT charting gives you real data. Morning-by-morning, cycle-by-cycle data that your body has been generating for you — whether or not you've been paying attention to it.
Let me show you how to read it.
