Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But we were confident to leave because we've been collecting data.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now what does that data look like? Here's a standard chart

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then you see this jump and then a higher set of temperatures at the end of her cycle.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what's happening here? What is that data telling you? Well ladies, at the beginning of our cycle, the hormone estrogen is dominant

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of keeping a new little life form, and if you are not pregnant
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then estrogen takes back over and that cycle starts all over again,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but if you do get pregnant, sometime you actually see another shift in your temperatures
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it stays elevated for those whole 9 months
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's why you see those pregnagnt woman sweating and hot

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then a shift and for about 5 days, that about the time it takes for the egg to travel
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,down the fallopian tube and implant
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then you see those temperature charts go up a little bit
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and in fact, we had a second temperature shift

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but we actually had data to show that we had miscarried this baby
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and even though this data revealed a really unfortunate event in our lives
