A member asked:

What's the cause of a bbt dip just a day or two after its usual rise that's caused by ovulation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Return to normal: There is a slight rise in temperature around ovulation due to Progesterone production by the ovary. After that the temperature returns to the normal baseline level.
