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.
Your basal body temperature (BBT) usually drops about 0.4Â°F (0.2Â°C) below your normal temperature 1 to 2 days before you ovulate. It then rises the same amount or more above your normal temperature 1 to 2 days after ovulation. It stays high until just before your menstrual period starts.
