okay, so it's a bit weird, but apparently your base body temp is a good indicator of ovulation. I could care less, as I often notice my ovulation as very invasive pain in the lower abdomen (it may just be seasonal apendicitus).
Either way, I've been taking my temperature recently on the off chance. And I'm fast coming to the conclusion that my body temp definitely reduces when I'm not properly kept warm. So, for example, I went out on the beach again tonight (v. windy, v.cold) and when I came in my body temp (according to the themometer) was 35.65 degrees c. Or "heading for hypothermia".
I'd always suspected that it wasn't just me 'feeling the cold' but was an actual change in the way my body was. Now I have incontrovertable proof. Especially as my temp continued to rise as I spent more time inside (with heater).
Or possibly I am just a freak :)
