Doctor's answer:
Basal Body Temperature Method. If your menstrual cycle is not very accurate, there may be instances where it comes earlier or later than expected. In such cases, you can also use the basal body temperature curve to find your ovulation day. Buy an electronic thermometer. Every morning when you wake up, do not turn over, and avoid any other movements like stretching. First, place the electronic thermometer under your tongue to measure your temperature, and record your temperature every day. Plot the temperatures on a graph. In normal women, the basal body temperature should show a double curve, with the day when the temperature is lowest being your ovulation day, as the temperature rises after ovulation.
