✨ It’s wonderful to see acupuncture receiving positive coverage in the Mail on Sunday! ✨

The article highlighted how acupuncture can be an effective treatment for knee pain and conditions such as osteoarthritis.

👉 Did you know?

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition that affects around 10 million people in the UK. With over 100,000 people currently waiting for knee surgery on the NHS, it’s a significant problem and can be very limiting to daily life.

Acupuncture has a strong evidence base in helping manage osteoarthritis symptoms, reducing pain, and improving mobility. 🌿
You can find a detailed factsheet here from the British Acupuncture Council:

If you’re struggling with knee or joint pain and would like to explore a natural, holistic approach, I’d love to support you. 💛

Happy 12th Wedding Anniversary to my wonderful supportive husband Dave 😘

The 12th wedding anniversary traditionally celebrates with silk or linen, symbolising the interwoven nature and growing strength of a relationship. Modern gifts often include pearls, representing wisdom and love.

Other symbols for the 12th year are jade (a stone for luck and prosperity), the peony flower ( associated with good fortune and a happy marriage and my fav flower 😉), and the colour opal.

So you've decided to start cycle tracking using BBT, but what does a typical BBT pattern across your cycle look like? Take a look...

1. Menstrual Phase (Around day 1–5)

BBT: Low and stable
Around 36.1°C to 36.4°C
Hormones: Oestrogen and progesterone are at their lowest.

2. Follicular Phase (Before Ovulation)

BBT: Stays low
Gradual fluctuations but remains in the lower range.
Hormones: Dominated by oestrogen.

3. Ovulation (Mid-cycle)

Just before ovulation, you may see a slight dip in BBT.
Then, a sharp rise (around 0.3–0.6°C ) signals ovulation has occurred.
Triggered by a surge in luteinising hormone (LH) and rising progesterone.

4. Luteal Phase (After Ovulation)

BBT: Elevated and stable
Around 36.5°C to 36.9°C (97.7°F to 98.4°F)
Due to progesterone, which raises your body’s resting temperature

5. End of Cycle (Before Period or Pregnancy)

If no pregnancy: BBT drops sharply 1–2 days before your period
If pregnant: BBT remains high beyond 16+ days past ovulation

What it looks like on a chart:

A low phase pre-ovulation, a clear thermal shift, then a higher phase post-ovulation.
That thermal shift confirms ovulation has already happened.

What exactly is BBT?

BBT (Basal Body Temperature) is your lowest body temperature in a 24-hour period, usually reached during deep sleep when your body is fully at rest. That’s the “basal” in BBT - your body at its most still, quiet, and restorative state.

When should you measure it?

Technically, true BBT happens during sleep, not when you wake up and take your temp with a thermometer. That’s why continuous temperature tracking through the night gives a much more accurate picture of your cycle than one-off morning readings.

So what is BBT, really?

It’s more than just a number, it’s a reflection of your body’s internal state during true rest. When tracked consistently and correctly, BBT becomes a reliable marker of hormonal shifts like ovulation and can help decode your unique cycle.
