Ovulation predictor tests/kits (OPKs) and cervical mucus tracking are often used to help predict ovulation, but basal body temperature (BBT) may confirm if you are ovulating or not (3). So long story short, yes, you can confirm ovulation with BBT.

Does temp rise confirm ovulation?

Your body temperature dips a bit just before your ovary releases an egg. Then, 24 hours after the egg's release, your temperature rises and stays up for several days. Before ovulation, a woman's BBT averages between 97°F (36.1°C) and 97.5°F (36.4°C). After ovulation, it rises to 97.6°F (36.4°C) to 98.6°F (37°C).

How accurate is temping for ovulation?

Using a BBT chart is safe, simple and inexpensive. But it's not necessarily the best method for tracking your ovulation. With an accuracy rate of 76 to 88 percent, BBT charts are considerably less reliable than ovulation test strips.
