Sound familiar?  You’re slowly building your confidence with tracking your cycle every day. You feel like you’ve finally made sense of your cervical mucus patterns every month and it’s time to start tracking your daily body temperature too.  But your daily temperatures make absolutely no sense! High one day, low the next. Completely all over the place and not even close to matching up with your mucus patterns. You’re more confused than ever and wondering if maybe you’ve had it wrong all along. In this episode, I’m talking you through how to make sense of your basal body temperature, why it’s totally normal to have some wonky readings with every cycle. And most important of all, I’m giving you permission to stop tracking it if it’s just causing headaches. Because sometimes your BBT can be more useless than useful.  Here’s What We’re Talking About: What exactly is basal body temperature?When BBT is usefulWhat BBT tells us about ovulationProgesterone and BBTWhen BBT is confusing (and therefore potentially useless)Confirming pregnancy with BBTIs BBT tracking for you? ________________ Read the show notes, including a transcript of this episode with all links and resources HEREDM Rachel on Instagram: @fertilitycoSupport the showWhenever you're ready, here's a few ways I can help you!
