Adult Dosing Guidelines
Use the thermometer orally (under the tongue). Take temperature reading at the same time every morning, except during menstrual period. Make sure to take temperature upon waking, before any movement occurs. Shake down thermometer the night before. Always record temperature reading daily, as well as the start and stop days of menstrual cycle. Take graphs (provided with thermometer) to physician or pharmacist to interpret fertile period. One full year of recording daily temperature readings is best to get most accurate results.

General Information
This product will track the basal body temperature to determine when ovulation occurs. When these times are known and recorded, the data can be interpreted by physicians or pharmacists to determine when the female is fertile and may be able to get pregnant. These days should be avoided when having unprotected intercourse, if contraception is desired. One year of recording is recommended for best results. Use the charts and graphs provided and follow directions precisely for optimal results. Fever, heating pads, and electric blankets can affect temperature readings. When properly used, this method has a failure rate of 10.5%.
