The mechanism underlying the biphasic nature of an ovulatory BBT is the production of progesterone after ovulation. Progesterone is a thermogenic hormone which usually causes a rise in the basal temperature of 0.4 to 1.0 degrees Fahrenheit.
a fixed concentration of hormones throughout 21 days of the 28-day menstrual cycle, or multiphasic, with two (biphasic) or three (triphasic) variations of concentration throughout the cycle.
