What is the normal body temperature in early pregnancy?

1. The temperature changes in early pregnancy are due to the warming effect of estrogen, which can increase the body temperature by 0.3-0.4℃ higher than normal. Generally speaking, a woman's body temperature during ovulation will change with the menstrual period. Around the time of menarche, the body temperature of a woman will remain at around 36.5°C under the action of estrogen, and then the body temperature will slowly drop, reaching the lowest during ovulation. After ovulation or pregnancy, the body temperature will rise by 0.3-0.4°C due to the influence of estrogen. The body temperature will return to normal when the next menstruation comes or the day before it.

2. Under normal circumstances, the body temperature of pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy will rise to a certain extent, but the rise in body temperature is between 36.9℃-37.2℃, which is a normal reaction. If this high temperature period lasts for more than 21 days and there are no other abnormal reactions, no menstruation, or even early pregnancy reactions, it can generally be considered a sign of pregnancy. If the body temperature is high and low, it should be taken seriously, especially for patients with recurrent miscarriage, who should take timely and effective measures.

3. After a woman becomes pregnant, her corpus luteum rises. Generally, the basic body temperature during the follicular phase is 36.5°C, and the temperature rises by more than 0.5°C during the follicular phase, thus appearing a biphasic phenomenon, indicating ovulation. If the monophasic electrical pattern does not have a temperature curve that rises in the middle and late stages, it indicates that ovulation has not occurred, with an accuracy of 70% to 80%. An increase in body temperature in the early stages of pregnancy is a normal physiological phenomenon. Pregnant women can pay attention to changes in their own body temperature and infer pregnancy based on this. If they find abnormal changes in body temperature, they should go to the hospital for a physical examination in time to check for potential medical risks.
