Other common methods estimate the date of ovulation by measuring midcycle events such as a rise in basal body temperature (Stanislaw & Rice, 1988) or changes in cervical mucus characteristics, which indicate a shift from an estrogen to a progesterone predominant profile (reviewed in Stern & McClintock, 1995). They found that only 2% of enrolled women reported actively trying to conceive during the 3-month study period, 46% reported using oral contraceptives or intrauterine devices, 24% reported using barrier methods or monitoring their cervical mucus and basal body temperature (BBT) to avoid pregnancy, 18% reported being sexually inactive, 8% reported being sexually active but not using contraception, and 2% reported being infertile. The basal body temperature rise is the single most accurate way of dating the time of conception; it is therefore more accurate than using the Last Menstrual Period (LMP) computation. |
