What are the changes in body temperature on ovulation day?

During different menstrual periods, women's bodies also undergo some changes, such as changes in body temperature. Women's ovulation period often changes. If you rely on changes in body temperature, you can also roughly calculate the ovulation period of the month. The body temperature during ovulation changes between high and low phases. Under normal circumstances, women's basal body temperature is lower before ovulation and rises after ovulation. For women who are preparing for pregnancy, it is better to measure the body temperature every day, record it on a paper chart, and observe the changes in body temperature at any time.

What are the changes in body temperature on ovulation day?

When the body is in a state of complete rest, free from the influence of spirit and all kinds of factors, the body temperature measured is called ovulation temperature. It is most accurate to measure the body temperature when you wake up between 6 and 7 in the morning and when you are not awake and moving. The body temperature during ovulation can more accurately reflect the ovulation function of the uterus and ovaries and the relative endocrine level.

The period before ovulation is the follicular phase, during which the uterus and ovaries metabolize female hormones. During the ovulation period, the body temperature is generally below 36.6°C. After ovulation, progesterone is produced in the uterus and ovaries, and progesterone metabolizes estrogen. Estrogen has a thermoregulatory effect on the central nervous system, raising the basal body temperature by 0.3-0.5℃. The rise in body temperature continues until 1-2 days before the onset of menstruation, when it begins to drop. Thus, in a physiological cycle with ovulation, the change of ovulation body temperature shows a biphasic curve. When ultra-low temperature transitions to high temperature, there will be an extremely low temperature. The day when the extremely low temperature occurs is the ovulation period.

Ovulation symptoms

1. Reduced appetite: Studies have shown that women eat the least during ovulation. Experts believe that this is the result of human's natural instinct that has been preserved to this day - female insects during ovulation will focus more on finding a male partner for mating rather than finding food.

2. Be energetic: This is also a natural instinct inherited from human genes. In order to successfully attract the opposite sex, women in the ovulation period will become energetic and love to express themselves.

3. Increased sexual desire: Generally speaking, women’s sexual desire will be very strong during ovulation, which is the maximum reflection of the body’s data signal that women want to get pregnant.

4. Decreased immunity: During ovulation, women's vaginal mucus becomes thinner, which allows sperm to pass more easily and increase the chances of successful pregnancy. At the same time, women's nasal mucus also decreases, which increases the chance of bacteria invading the human respiratory system.
