The Basics
Which hormones are involved in my cycle? Your cycle includes estrogen, progesterone, FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), LH (luteinising hormone), and a small amount of testosterone. FSH and LH cause the egg or ovum to reach maturity. Ovulation produces progesterone. The follicles that develop into mature eggs create estrogen, a hormone that causes your uterine lining to build up, and your body to produce cervical fluid.
HORMONES IN YOUR CYCLE Estrogen: Suppresses your BBT Progesterone: Raises your BBT Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Luteinising Hormone (LH) Testosterone
DAYSY DETAILS Daysy, as a basal body temperature sensor, spots and tracks the shift in hormones that come after you ovulate. In the first half of your cycle, estrogen suppresses your temperature, so your baseline is lower. In the second half of your cycle, progesterone raises that temperature, so your baseline is higher. Daysy can show you that you have ovulated that cycle. If you have ovulated, you are producing progesterone.
