4. How this Thermometer Measures Temperature
4a. Understanding Basal Temperatures?
A basal temperature is the normal body temperature of a healthy person
immediately upon awakening after a restful nights sleep. More precisely, it
is the body temperature measured under so-called “basal conditions” (12
hours after eating, after a restful sleep, no exercise, no emotional excitement,
normal room temperature). For optimum accuracy, your basal temperature
should be taken at the same time every morning upon waking. Changes in
basal temperature are related to changes in the female reproductive cycle.
The basal temperature method can be used to help in family planning.
4b. Charting your basal temperature
By charting your basal temperature daily, you can see a pattern and notice
the changes that occur in every ovulation cycle. Keeping a charted record
for at least three months will usually provide the information you need to
determine your approximate day of ovulation during a regular menstrual
cycle. By taking your basal temperature daily and charting it, you can notice
slight changes and patterns. Charting of your basal temperature, in addition
to other information, can help you understand your menstrual cycle and
ovulation. Charting of temperature and prediction of ovulation can be used
to time sexual intercourse during fertile days to aid in increasing the likelihood
of pregnancy.
4c. How to take accurate basal temperatures
To obtain an accurate basal temperature, you must take your temperature
when you rst awake in the morning. For best results, this waking
temperature should be taken at the same time each morning. Since any
activity may tend to raise your temperature, do not get out of bed until you
have taken your basal temperature. Postpone going to the bathroom, eating,
smoking or drinking until after taking your temperature. Cold drinks lower
mouth temperature; hot drinks, smoking and exercise cause higher readings.
Using an electric blanket or heating pad can aect your basal temperature. If
you use one, it should be kept at the same setting each night throughout the
time you are taking your basal temperature.
4d. Understanding the Basal Temperature Method
Hormonal changes associated with ovulation produce a slight rise in a
woman’s basal body temperature, (approximately 0.3°C/0.5°F), as well as
other recognizable signs such as changes in cervical mucus. Learning to
record and interpret basal temperature changes is known as the “Basal
Temperature Method.” By monitoring the basal temperature changes,
couples, in conjunction with their physician or family planning counselor,
may be able to determine when ovulation takes place. Monitoring other
symptoms, such as cervical mucus changes, can assist in determining
the fertile days prior to ovulation. When temperature changes are used in
conjunction with other fertility symptoms, such as the cervical mucus, this is
known as the “Sympto-Thermal Method.”
Determination of ovulation can be used to time sexual intercourse during
fertile days to aid in the likelihood of achieving pregnancy. The basal
temperature change used in conjunction with other methods, can also be

used to help determine times for avoidance of sexual intercourse to avoid
pregnancy.
Please note: use of Basal Temperature Method only may not be eective
in avoiding pregnancy.
5. Directions for Use
5a. Taking your Basal Temperature
Since temperatures taken at dierent sites of the body can vary, it is important
to select one method and then take your temperature the same way every
day. You must use either the oral, vaginal or rectal method. Using more than
one method will provide inaccurate results. Select oral, vaginal or rectal as
your measurement based on professional recommendation.

6. Avoiding Pregnancy with Natural Family Planning
In natural family planning, there are several ways of determining the end of
pre-ovulation fertility and the beginning of post-ovulation infertility.
Professionals teaching natural family planning claim most unplanned
pregnancies occur during pre-ovulation infertility. This booklet does not
include guidelines for natural family planning, since it is beyond the scope of
this booklet.
Your Ovulation digital thermometer only helps you determine when ovulation
has occurred. Calculating infertile periods involves other bodily signs in
addition to temperature change and requires professional guidance when
avoidance of pregnancy is your objective.
NOTE: This product is not for contraceptive use

7. Other Important Information
Remember that the thermometer is designed only to help determine when
ovulation has occurred.
Mucus observations, sexual intercourse, and situations that can alter
temperature can also be helpful when recorded on the PrecisionTemp APP.
Notation of these changes, in addition to your temperature pattern, will assist
your physician or counselor in providing you with proper guidance.
It is commonly suggested that couples who have had diculty in achieving
pregnancy should not have intercourse more than once a day nor on
consecutive days, in order to maintain satisfactory quantities of sperm. The
most fertile time continues up through the rst day of drying up of the mucus,
or the rst day of temperature elevation, whichever comes later.
The temperature record should be maintained on a daily basis. If pregnancy
is achieved, the basal temperature will remain elevated for several months.
A temperature pattern that remains elevated for 21 days (a week or more
than the usual elevated pattern) is a good indicator that pregnancy has been
achieved. If you do not become pregnant after six months, see your doctor. If
you believe you are pregnant, see your doctor immediately.
