Using Basal Body Temperature Tracking
Written by Dr. Caleigh Sumner, ND
In extremely simplistic terms, the first half of your cycle- the follicular phase– is dominated by estrogen. Once you have ovulated and are in the second half of your cycle- the luteal phase– it is dominated by progesterone. What is unique about these 2 hormones is that they have different thermogenic effects, this means they change your body temperature. If you track your body temperature daily you can chart your hormone patterns and figure out what’s going on in your unique body.
