Next, the operations for determining pregnancy based on the basal body temperature, lighting up the heart mark HM, calculating the expected delivery date based on the ovulation date, and displaying it will be explained.

When a high temperature period continues for 21 days or more after a low temperature period in the basal body temperature, the microcomputer 31 determines that she is pregnant, and lights up the heart mark M from the 21st day until the first day of the next menstrual period.

Furthermore, the microcomputer 31 determines the ovulation day based on the following conditions.

(1) More than 7 days have passed since the first day of menstruation.

(2) The body temperature on that day was higher than the reference body temperature ST and 0.3°C or more higher than the lowest body temperature of the current menstrual cycle for 3 days or more, including that day.

When both of the above two conditions are satisfied, the four days before this day is regarded as the ovulation day and is stored in the RAM 32.

Next, the ovulation day determined as described above is determined as the first day, and the 266th day is determined as the expected delivery date and stored in the RAM 32. When the "day" switch 12 is pressed while the heart mark port M is lit, the expected birth date is displayed on the third display 4.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, pregnancy can be automatically determined based on the basal body temperature measured and stored with a women's thermometer, and furthermore, pregnancy can be determined based on the basal body temperature and the cycle of the menstrual cycle. Calculate and determine the expected date of birth based on the detected ovulation date,
Since this can be displayed, not only gynecologists but also the woman who measured her basal body temperature can clearly recognize that she is pregnant and the expected delivery date.
