This is a popular method where you take your body temperature each morning before you get out of bed. You should see a rise in 0.4-1.0°C in your body temperature after ovulation. This method is not ideal because once you have seen this rise you have already ovulated. As the egg only survives 12-24 hours after ovulation it’s too late in this cycle to optimize your chances of getting pregnant.
