The Detection of Ovulation by Intravaginal Telemetry
Fertility and Sterility(1976)
Abstract
Following ovulatory control cycles in four celibate, healthy women, 27 to 34 years of age, basal body temperatures (BBT) were obtained in three cycles, utilizing a transistorized transvaginal telemeter. The electronic signals were collected on an automatically activated cassette receiver and later translated into temperature readings. The results were compared with values obtained simultaneously with a standard metabolic oral thermometer. The vaginal temperatures were consistently lower than the oral readings and offered a more sensitive and reproducible method of obtaining BBT. However, this system is very complex, requiring well-informed, highly motivated patients, and should be viewed currently as an investigative tool.
