Temperature shift: The sustained rise in BBT that separates the lower, pre-ovulatory temperatures from the higher, post-ovulatory temperatures in a biphasic chart. The temperature shift occurs due to an increase in the body’s production of progesterone and is typically at least two-tenths of a degree higher than any of the previous 6 temperatures.

What is a 'questionable temp?'
Hi Bethy, thanks for contacting us! A 'Questionable Temp' is a temperature that may have been affected artificially elevated or lowered due to outside factors (for example, taking your temperature at a significantly different time than normal, drinking alcohol the night before, illness, etc.) If you think any of those apply, you should mark the temperature as "Questionable" in the app and exclude it from the graph.
