    Ah, you're not thick at all!

    Basically it's taking your temperature at the same time in the morning before you get out of bed and watching for a 0.2 degree rise to say you've ovulated. As you're on the pill (mini-pill) then you shouldn't ovulate, so your temperature should stay fairly constant. Therefore it won't be much use to you right now - but if you suspect your pill isn't working then it's a way to check, I suppose. Or get into the habit before you go off the pill.

    If you look at fertility friend they have charting courses and stuff like that - there are links on this site to people's charts for you to have a nose at. Fertility Friend also asks you to chart when you have sex and your mucus and things like that to help detect ovulation.
