Loeb et al published an alternate set of criteria in 2001. They recommend a minimum set of clinical criteria for the initiation of antibiotic therapy for UTIs in nursing home residents (Table 2). 12 Under these criteria, urine culture is required to rule out a UTI.
Ovulation. Normal basal body temperature is typically below 98 degrees Fahrenheit before ovulation and rises above 98 degrees Fahrenheit after ovulation. A temperature drop of greater than 0.4 degrees Fahrenheit occurs during the 48 hours preceding ovulation. Basal body temperature rises following ovulation.
What is your basal body temperature? BBT simply means âthe lowest temperature of your body at restâ. It remains about the same for most of the month, but drops slightly just before ovulation and then spikes just after ovulation by 0.25 to 0.5Â°C. The temperature then remains high until your period arrives.
