Basal Body Temperature (BBT) is your body's lowest temperature at rest. It is typically reached during deep sleep when your metabolism is at its baseline and heat production is minimal.
Because your menstrual cycle is driven by hormonal shifts, your BBT naturally changes throughout each phase:
Before Ovulation: Your temperature is lower, influenced by the presence of estrogen.
After Ovulation: The hormone progesterone becomes dominant, causing a slight 'but consistent' increase in your body temperature.
By measuring these subtle shifts daily, Tempdrop provides the physiological proof needed to confirm ovulation and gain deeper insights into your overall reproductive health.
