The unique glass basal thermometer

You must reset the measuring liquid of the thermometer before each measurement. To do this, you must shake the thermometer. To make this process easier, take the insert of your storage case and slide the thermometer into it, holding it by the handle at the upper end between your thumb and index finger. Then start to shake the reset tool with loose movements from the wrist. The tip of the thermometer points towards the floor. The plastic begins to swing and reinforces the natural movement, which leads to the liquid resetting more quickly.

With a little practice, however, you can also reset the measuring liquid without a reset tool. Hold the thermometer between your thumb and index finger. The tip of the thermometer should be pointing towards the floor. Now start to shake the thermometer with quick movements from the wrist (left-right). The measuring liquid will sink.

Make sure that there are no objects such as a table, chair, etc. in your immediate vicinity that could break the thermometer during the resetting process.

Note: Contrary to the way you used to lower the thermometer with hard blows, you now need speed. Today's galinstan has different material properties than the former mercury. Do not place the thermometer in the refrigerator or hold it under cold water. This will not cause the measuring liquid to sink.

The silver line you see at 37°C is a calibration mark. This indicates that there is a temperature of 37 °C at this exact position of the measuring liquid. This marking is required for the production process and ensures the measuring accuracy of the thermometer.

You can reuse the Geratherm® basal glass thermometer as often as you like. Clean your thermometer before each use.
 

Important! If the thermometer is cracked or already broken, stop using it. Dispose of this in the household waste.

The Geratherm® basal should be cleaned after and before each measurement. Since it is a closed glass body, you can wash it with soap and water and then dry it. The water must never be hotter than 39 °C. You can also easily disinfect the thermometer. Immersion disinfection is also possible.  

At the top of the chart are the days of your cycle from 1 to 42, you can add more if conducive. Above each day of the cycle write its date. The vertical temperatures are 35 °C applied up to 38 °C. Draw your temperature with a dot. Mark the days when you had sexual intercourse.

1 to 2 days after ovulation (ovulation), the basal body temperature rises by 0.2 to 0.5 °C and remains at this high level until beginning of the next cycle. (Right before the day of ovulation, a drop of about 0.1°C can often be observed.) In the event that ovulation has occurred if the temperature rise should have occurred within 48 hours. When you are about 3 once you have filled out the tables, you will receive an ovulation chart and you will recognize your individual fertility chart.

Ovulation or ovulation means that the ovary releases an egg, this is the prerequisite for the fertilization of the egg cell by a sperm in the fallopian tube. Certain changes can occur in the body, e.g. B. the appearance of a thin, clear vaginal mucus that appears just before ovulation, i. H. approximately between the 10th and 12th day of your monthly cycle exits the cervix. This mucus has the job of keeping the sperm alive until ovulation.

Another symptom can be a slight pain in the left or right side at the time of actual ovulation be. With a regular monthly cycle of 28 days, approximately the days between the 10th and 14th day are the days when you are most likely to get pregnant. But every woman has her individual cycle and the fewest ovulate regularly in the middle of the cycle.
