Body temperature changes on ovulation day

I believe many people know that the normal body temperature is between 36.8 and 37 degrees, and women's body temperature changes at different stages of the menstrual cycle. Therefore, we can accurately measure the ovulation temperature to determine which stage we are in and whether we are pregnant. Today we will discuss the change in body temperature from ovulation to pregnancy. The following is a brief introduction to the temperature change chart on ovulation day. I believe everyone has some understanding of it.

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.

The non-ovulation period may occur 2-3 days before and after the body temperature drops, that is, any time when the body temperature begins to drop, drops to the lowest value or begins to warm up. It is inferred that the time when the human body temperature is the lowest may be the time closest to the ovulation period. On the fourth day when the high temperature appears, the ovulation has undoubtedly occurred and the egg cell has died. From this time on until the next premenstrual sexual intercourse is safe. In some ovulation period, the body temperature rises in steps and takes several days to reach the endpoint, so it is impossible to calculate the exact time of ovulation.

If the daily life is irregular, and there are women who often work late shifts, it is not reliable to use ovulation temperature to measure ovulation. Since ovulation temperature requires regular and specific testing under normal living habits, it itself is only an indirect method to estimate ovulation. If the body temperature is not measured accurately, it is even more impossible to calculate the ovulation period by the body temperature.

How to accurately measure body temperature during ovulation

1. Buy a thermometer, master the reading method, and strive for accuracy.

2. Before going to bed every night, swing the mercury column on the thermometer to below 35 degrees and place it where you can reach it when you wake up.

3. After waking up every morning, immediately place the thermometer under the tongue for 5 minutes, take it out and read the value, and record it on a specially prepared report.

4. You are not allowed to wake up, go to the toilet, eat, talk, etc. before taking your temperature.

5. You should record whether there are many factors that affect the body temperature during ovulation, such as fever, cold, insomnia, drinking, taking medicine, etc.

Generally speaking, an ordinary thermometer is enough to accurately measure the body temperature during ovulation. The key is to master the correct measurement method. In addition, you must keep good records. If any abnormalities occur during the measurement process, you must also keep records. Based on the above introduction about the changes in body temperature from ovulation to pregnancy and how to correctly and accurately measure body temperature during ovulation, we hope to help everyone measure body temperature during ovulation as soon as possible.
