Diane;
I dont know a whole lot about BBT-I am just learning but one thing I do
know about BC pills is that you DO NOT ovulate. Your body goes through
the motions but never releases an egg. That is ewhy you dont get
pregnant while on them. Alos, from what I have read recently, you
should be up in the 98's -mid to upper if prenant and at least 98 when
ovulating. Hope this helps,
Elizabeth
