Glossary

Traveling in the world of fertility is sometimes like traveling to a foreign country where a foreign language is spoken.

A language that has many medical terms that can sometimes sound technical and complex.

If this language seems difficult to you or you feel that you do not understand what the doctors are telling you or what you are reading, do not worry!

We have prepared for you the following fertility glossary, which includes all the medical terms related to fertility, formulated in simple and understandable words.

You can search for what you want in alphabetical order and the answer will be presented in front of you!

If you still do not find what you are looking for, please send us a message and we will make sure to update the glossary.

BASAL BODY TEMPERATURE (BBT)
The body temperature at rest taken orally in the morning before arising from bed. Successive BBT’s can be measured each morning and recorded on a calendar chart. These charts can be studied to help identify the time of ovulation (or even if a woman is ovulating at all). Menstrual calendar information is also an important part of a BBT chart. An ovulation predictor kit can be used instead of daily temperature readings.
BETA HCG
