Always measure in the same place: either in the
mouth, in the vagina or the anus. Don't change
within one cycle!
Enter the measured values into the period chart.
The decisive indication of ovulation is, however,
always the typical temperature rise.
Make a note of anything special: Make a note
on the day concerned of events which could affect
the temperature – intercourse (I), feverish cold (F),
taking of medicine (M) or sleeping tablets (S), too
little sleep (lS), change of climate (C – important!),
alcohol (A), strain (S) and physical activity (P).
Also record bleeding (and condition of secre-
tion): regular bleeding (P), strong, moderate, little
irregular bleeding (sB, mB, lB), trace of blood (T); if
possible also the occurrence and type of cervical
secretion.
In the case of unusual events, give your doctor
the period charts. We particularly recommend this
should irregularities of your period occur. In case of
doubt you should consult your doctor.

indications and should always be available when
visiting the doctor.
The counting of the cycle days commences with
the onset of menstruation. Don't forget the month
and calendar day.
The awakening or basaltemperature is entered
daily.
