Key

A Cycle day 1 is the day you get your
period.

B The time you took your temperature. It's
best to do it before you get out of bed, and
at the same time each day.

C Each dot shows your temperature
measurement that day. Connecting the dots
helps you see how your temperature rises
and falls through your cycle.

D A lasting surge in temperature shows
that you ovulated two or three days earlier.
(Here, ovulation was on cycle day 14.)

E Starred highlighting: the four days when
you are most fertile. Having sex every other
day during this period will increase your
chances of conceiving.

F What your cervical mucus was like each
day (see key in lower left). You can also
describe it in other ways that are useful to
you, like TH for thick, WH for white, or SL
for slippery.

G The days that you had sex.
