Just a further word to say that the temperature rise tells the woman that
ovulation has already happened. The mucus gives the woman advance warning.
Ovulation happens on Peak Day or Day 1 up to day 2. It only occurs on ONE
day and there can be a second ovulation within that 24 hours in the case of
twins.
The latest information on the Billings Method can be found in Dr. Evelyn's
book.....a must for nurses. It can be ordered from Gracewings in
Leominster in England for a quick find through your local bookstore. If
there is any difficulty you can send $20.oo Australian to the Billings
family life Centre whose e-mail address is: [log in to unmask]
Hope this helps.
