Temperature Testing

I am seeking some advice on taking my girls temperature prior to whelping.

I have read a few articles on Google but hope to hear from someone who uses the temperature method successfully.

Can you let me know when you take it how often you take it and at what day of the pregnancy should I start and what to look for. Thanks in advance.

It's invaluable in my opinion. I start about Day 61 (I prog test) and take my girl's temp around 4 times a day. You quickly see a pattern of rise and fall and then you see a drop that is below the diurnal pattern. It's really, really informative when things don't go to plan, for example, my last whelping was a c-section (2 pups trying to get out at once) and the temp drop gave my specialist repro vet great information about what was happening.
