Q: How do I draw a coverline when fertility charting?

A: Follow these steps to draw a coverline on your BBT chart:

  1. Identify a temperature that is at least 0.2 or two-tenths of a degree higher than the previous six days.
  2. Highlight those previous six days.
  3. Find the highest of these six highlighted temperatures.
  4. Draw a straight line that is 0.1 or one-tenth of a degree higher than that of the highest of the highlighted temperatures.
  5. This line is your coverline.
  6. The coverline should run straight horizontally across your chart.
