yea im quite confused myself because usually in follicular phase my temp would not go higher than 97.5 but i have no problem reaching 98.2 in luteal :/ so taking BO in follicular phase will be quite hard

Hmmm. Pretty sure pig placenta does not regulate hormones. It increases progesterone and may perhaps increase estrogen. And ok, so you just want more BO in different forms. That is interesting. I hope it works for you!!!

It's funny cuz I read all the same about keeping the temps high as you posted above, accept for:

"If your body temperature is below 98.2, your liver just does not produce enough enzymes to convert your thyroid hormones from T4 to T3 and Bovine Ovary will not have the desired effect on your body."

I'd need to do research on this, because healthy temperatures for the follicular phase range down as low as around 97 degrees according to some example ovulation charts of a healthy cycle. I cannot believe that they tell us to keep our temps above 98.2 degrees because that is too high for follicular phase. If one has temps that high in follicular phase, they will have thyroid problems, ironically (see: http://www.whitelotusclinic.ca/basal-body-temperature-chart/#!prettyPhoto ). In thyroid disorders, BBT's will be either abnormally high (>98) or abnormally low (<97). At least, according to the sample charts I have seen. I have been unsuccessful in finding a sample range per phase of healthy BBT's so far It all depends on what time of the day one is taking them, too. If I take my temps in the afternoon, they are much higher than they are in the morning. But, I suppose the BO companies recommend that at your lowest, not to go below 98.2. I just find that really... strange... It just doesn't make any sense to me!!

Thank you for sharing! I will need to follow up on this one now.
