What do the following rows mean - Luteal Phase row, Temp Count row, FAM rules row?
The Luteal Phase Row: This row will keep track of how many days past ovulation (DPO) you are. This information can help you know when to begin testing for pregnancy, count your luteal phase length, and when you can expect your next cycle to begin.
The Temp Count Row: After a possible thermal shift is found in your BBT readings, we’re looking to see the next 3 out of 4 readings elevated and at least 0.3ºF above the coverline. As those 3 elevated readings are identified, the ‘temp count’ row will mark them with the numbers ‘1, 2 and 3’.
The FAM rules row: The Peak/FAM Rules row is derived from the principles in the 20th Edition of Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. In the book, there are rules to follow so you know when you are most likely ‘safe’ to plan intercourse when you are not trying to become pregnant. These rules include a combination of BBT tracking, cervical fluid/mucus and vaginal sensations.
