Normal range of basal body temperature for women

What is the normal body temperature of women during ovulation? The change in body temperature during ovulation is also one of the ways to determine whether you are pregnant, so female friends must understand this issue. Do you know what the normal body temperature of a woman is during ovulation? The editor below will give you a detailed explanation.

1. What is the normal body temperature of women during ovulation?

The ovulation period of normal women's body temperature is divided by the ovulation period, showing a low temperature at the beginning and a high temperature at the end. Before ovulation, there is less estrogen and the body temperature tends to be extremely low, generally 36.2℃. After ovulation, the human body temperature rises significantly, generally by 0.3℃-0.6℃, so that the body temperature during ovulation reaches 36.7℃, showing a high temperature development trend.

2. What is ovulation temperature?

The body temperature measured when the body wakes up after a long (6 hours) sleep and before any activity is performed is called ovulation temperature.

3. The basic principle of body temperature during ovulation

The body temperature of normal pregnant women during ovulation changes regularly, just like the menstrual cycle, and this temperature change is related to the ovulation period.

The length of a woman's menstrual cycle varies from person to person, ranging from 21 to 35 days, with an average of about 28 days. It is divided into the follicular phase before ovulation and the follicular phase after ovulation, based on the ovulation period. The length of the follicular phase is not fixed, but it is generally about 14 days in the sky and two days in the evening. The day after ovulation, the uterus and ovaries produce progesterone, and the secretion of luteinizing hormone will cause the body temperature to rise by about 0.6 degrees Celsius, causing the body temperature to fluctuate between high and low phases. The high temperature period lasts about 12-16 days (average 14 days).

If pregnancy does not occur, the corpus luteum shrinks and stops metabolizing luteinizing hormone, the body temperature drops, returns to baseline, and menstruation begins.

If you are already pregnant, the body temperature will remain high because the progesterone is metabolized by the test tube embryo and the test tube embryo metabolizes male hormones to secrete luteinizing hormone again.

If the ovaries are not functioning properly, there will be no ovulation and no progesterone produced, and the body temperature will remain extremely low.
