What does low body temperature after ovulation mean?

After ovulation, a woman's body will show certain symptoms. By monitoring the body temperature during the ovulation period, it can be determined whether she is pregnant or not. Of course, this kind of temperature monitoring is not necessarily completely correct, and the specific situation requires timely examination in the hospital. For couples who are preparing for pregnancy, they should seize the ovulation period, which can greatly increase the chance of conception.

What does low body temperature after ovulation mean?

If your basal body temperature remains low, with no high temperature period, and no biphasic changes in high and low temperatures, then be careful, because it may be a sign of no ovulation. Because the principle of the basal body temperature curve is formed by the progesterone (luteinizing hormone) secreted by the corpus luteum formed by the ovary after ovulation. The body temperature is low before ovulation and high after ovulation. If there is no change between the two phases, then either you are pregnant or you have not ovulated. Generally speaking, if the temperature remains high for a long time, you are likely to be pregnant. On the contrary, if the temperature remains low for a long time, you may not ovulate.

Therefore, if your basal body temperature has not fluctuated much (difference of 0.3-0.5℃), and there are no obvious high and low temperature areas, it is very likely that you are not ovulating. You know, even a good cook cannot cook without rice. You cannot successfully conceive without ovulation. Therefore, if you find that your basal body temperature has been very low and has not fluctuated, you need to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up to see what is wrong and then prescribe the right medicine.

How long does a woman's ovulation period last after her menstrual period?

Everyone has different opinions about how many days a woman's ovulation period lasts. Which one is correct? So let us explain how many days the ovulation period lasts.

1. Generally speaking, a woman's ovulation period is 10 days.

A normal woman will ovulate once every menstrual cycle (usually once a month). The day of ovulation is called the "ovulation day". The 5 days before the ovulation day, the 4 days after the ovulation day, plus the ovulation day, are the woman's ovulation period. Therefore, women's ovulation period is 10 days.

2. Not everyone’s ovulation period is 10 days.

As the pace of modern life continues to accelerate, women are increasingly affected by the real environment. In addition, women's emotions, diet, lifestyle habits, etc. all affect their ovulation. When a woman with a relatively regular rhythm of life suddenly changes her lifestyle habits, if the body does not adjust in time, the endocrine system may be affected, and the menstrual period may be advanced or delayed. Then the length of the ovulation period will fluctuate with the changes in the menstrual period. Therefore, the 10-day ovulation period is only an approximate time range, and in fact, a woman's ovulation period is generally less than 10 days.

3. The effective conception time during the ovulation period is 7 days.

Since the ovulation period is not necessarily a fixed ten days, how long is the effective pregnancy time if you have sex during the ovulation period? Generally speaking, the survival time of a normal woman's egg is about 2 days, up to 3 days, and less than 12 hours. A man's sperm can generally survive in a woman's body for 3 to 5 days, usually 4 days.

In other words, the effective conception time during the ovulation period is generally 5 days before female ovulation, because sperm can survive in the female body for up to 5 days, and 2 days after female ovulation, because the egg can only survive in the female body for 2 days after being released. In other words, the effective conception time is generally about 7 days.

The ovulation period is closely related to menstruation, so when is the ovulation period? Many friends are still not very clear about when the ovulation period is, but if you don’t know how many days the ovulation period is, it will be difficult to grasp the time for having sex.
