Concerns over mercury toxicity have been featured prominently in the news, and many states are requiring that mercury-containing thermometers be recalled by manufacturers due to toxicity and related health hazards, particularly for women who are trying to get pregnant or who are pregnant.
How to Use a Basal Thermometer
A daily record of the body’s temperature at rest (known medically as the basal body temperature) over several months to pinpoint when ovulation has taken place. During ovulation, the body’s temperature will rise about 0.6°F to 0.8°F and stay elevated for about 14 days until the period starts.
A woman should measure her basal (resting) body temperature in the morning with her basal temperature thermometer, even before getting out of bed. She should start taking her temperature on the morning her menstrual period ends. When taking a resting temperature, a woman should not smoke, eat, drink, or get up for anything before taking a temperature reading.
A woman also can record on the chart the days she menstruates, the days she has sex, when she feels the twinge of pain associated with ovulation, and days when she is ill. When carefully tracked, this record can provide valuable information for planning a couple’s fertility treatment.
If a woman’s temperature remains relatively constant throughout a cycle, ovulation may not have occurred. On the other hand, a sustained rise in temperature beyond the date for the next period indicates a probable pregnancy.
