Menopause: At age 49, you may not be ovulating every month anymore as you are soon to enter menopause. If you don't ovulate, you won't get the temperature rise and you may miss your period. Ovulation tends to be somewhat sporadic at this age. Best wishes!

Anovulation: Women approaching menopause don't ovulate on a regular basis any more. Consequently, when there is no ovulation there is not enough progesterone, which is responsible for an increase in basal body temperature.
