Things You'll Need:
- A blank calendar
- A pen or pencil
-
Step 1
Begin your calendar, labeling the actual month and year on the first month’s page. The first day of your calendar is the first day of your period. Each ‘month’ will end the day before your next period begins. In other words, when your next period begins, you begin your next ‘month’ in your calendar.
-
Step 2
Record the information you are tracking about your ovulation cycle such as body temperature, cervical mucus, and menstrual cycle on your calendar each day.
-
Step 3
Create a habit of checking and recording every morning. Consistency is crucial to successful ovulation charting.
-
Step 4
Look for patterns each month, and across multiple months regarding your body temperature and cervical mucus (or lack thereof). This will allow you to predict your most likely days for ovulation. The calendar you have created will help you recognize patterns quickly that have been created by your body as it prepares to ovulate.
