Summary on Naturally Warmed Up Article

Natural Fertility and Wellness.com's article, Naturally Warmed Up: How To Raise Basal Body Temperature says, "Some signs of low BBT are cold hands and feet, chronic fatigue, constipation, low sex drive, abnormal menstrual cycles, hypoglycemia, to name just a few. However, this article suggests the more that you do the modern approach to treat this, dietary restrictions and lots of cardio exercise, the farther away you push yourself from a healthy metabolism. It is counter productive and worsens the underlying disorder. Also that when metabolism is low, fertility is poor. Some steps this article gives is eating as much nutritional food as possible, the less unprocessed the better. Get as much rest as possible. De-stress, 12 hours straight per day without a meal (so dinner at 7 pm, breakfast at 7 am), emphasize saturated fats over unsaturated, avoid vigorous exercise until temperature is where you want it to be."  To read more of the actual article, go to my bibliography page and click the link.  

 *** I must include my friend that is a midwife, a highly recommended one,  disagrees with much of what this article says. So not all health care providers are going to agree with this information on how it is presented, however, they may agree with the eating healthier part.  *** 

  To put it in simple terms as one mother said summarizing this article, "This is a metabolism issue. Low BBT simply reflects a lower metabolism, which in turn can reduce ovulation success and therefore, progesterone production."

Implantation Dips & Raised BBT

An Implantation Dip is when your basal body temperature (BBT) dips below your cover line post ovulation, usually said to occur around 7 to 9 days pass ovulation on average and then continues to rise without falling below the cover line again. 3 to 5 days pass ovulation for implantation dips is said to be rare.  Some believe implantation dips are myths, because of varying results in dips and outcomes for pregnancy.  Usually it is said when your BBT stays above your cover line without dipping below the cover line, it is a sign that you're pregnant.   This is just a theory, but it seems for some early implantation dips, may lead to earlier positive pregnancy tests. The exception to early implantation dips theory I have found is that  some women get early positive pregnancy tests as a result of having a multiples pregnancy, some women gets dips in many of their cycles that do not result in pregnancy and some women like me don't get dips during a c...

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test (Blue Dye)

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test  with Blue Dye (+ / - ) This is what a negative looks like: Side Note: Blue dyes are often said to more frequently give false positives than pink dye.
