What is a cover line?

I got my first cross hairs this month and it says on FF that my cover line is 98.0. What does this mean? When my temp goes below that AF is coming?

    The coverline is more used to visualize your thermal shift. Some women have temps that drop below coverline when AF is coming, some women's temps stay above coverline until AF is gone.

    According to TCOYF a coverline is determined by noting the highest of your 6 temps before your temp rise. The coverline is one-tenth of a degree above the highest of those 6 clustered temps.

    Is it used for anything? Or just to show CHs?

    To my knowledge, it's not used for anything special. As stated before, for some people when temps drop below it they know AF is coming...but temps can drop below and AF doesn't come. It would depend person to person I guess.
