That's a really good question that I don't think has been addressed on here before. When I first came on nbe, I went by normal body temp and was concerned that mine was running low. I became even more concerned when that low really took a nose dive, that's when I found out about the meds I was on shutting down the adrenals. My original so called low temp averaged about 97.7 but the week before my period would bounce up to 98.2 and 98.5, so that is why the bo had worked for me even when I thought my temp was low. I just didn't realize this because I was so caught up in the why my temp low thing.
When it really dropped I was in the 96 range for normal temp, which even with the premenstrual bounce I couldn't have hit the right numbers. I began doing the basal temp and found it be staying at about 97.1 to 97.2 before treatment, still couldn't hit the mark premenstraul with those numbers though.
Now after taking the raw adrenal and doing things the way dr. rind says to do, I always go with basal body temp. My average basal stays at about 97.8 to 98.3 depending on the time of day now and what I've been doing and when I have my premenstraul bounce it runs about 98.8 to 99.
I figure as long as your basal temp is in the right areas and especially when it's that all important growing time of the month, then it's good to go or at least has been for me.
Another thing that let me see that the basal was the way to go, was weighing myself. during the month, I can weigh myself at night before bed and the next morning be one pound lighter. the week before my period, I can eat whatever I want and weigh myself before bed and wake up 2 pounds lighter, meaning that while my basal temp is high, my metabolism is high also. If it's high enough for my metabolism to be in hyperdrive, then it's high enough for the
BO to work as well. Just my theory though.
