Pink Mom MathBBT Ovulation Calculator
Enter your daily basal body temperature readings to detect ovulation. The chart shows your temperatures with a coverline reference line and highlights the 3-day temperature shift that confirms ovulation.
How the BBT Ovulation Calculator Works
The calculator uses the coverline method to detect ovulation from your daily temperature readings.
Coverline Calculation
The coverline is calculated from your pre-ovulatory temperatures (the first half of your temperature series): sort all temperatures ascending, take the 6 lowest, and set the coverline at the maximum of those 6 + 0.1°F.
Ovulation Detection
Ovulation is confirmed when 3 consecutive daily temperatures all exceed the coverline. The estimated ovulation day is the day immediately before this sustained 3-day rise.
Chart Interpretation
Look for a clear biphasic pattern — lower temperatures in the first half of the cycle (follicular phase) followed by consistently higher temperatures after ovulation (luteal phase). The shift should be at least 0.2°F above the coverline.
