In September 2020, I decided to try to quit hormonal birth control for the second time. Part of my plan included tracking my basal body temperature to know whether or not I was ovulating. Tracking also allowed me to do a bit of detective work when my hormones were getting out of whack and delaying ovulation, and now it helps me to adjust my nutrition according to cycle phase to regulate my blood sugar. It’s such a simple, yet powerful tool.
