The body temperature suddenly rises before menstruation

A sister around me has been preparing for pregnancy for a while but there is still no news. Suddenly, she started to feel weak and sleepy, her body temperature rose, she felt depressed, and she couldn't cheer up... So she firmly believed that she had a cold! So, what is the reason for the sudden increase in body temperature before menstruation?

What is the reason for the sudden increase in body temperature before menstruation? Increased body temperature = fever or cold?

This is the general understanding of most people, and many sisters who are preparing for pregnancy are also trapped in this misunderstanding. Actually, not necessarily!

In fact, if sisters who are preparing for pregnancy have this symptom, they should see if there are other symptoms of early pregnancy. If so, they can first consider whether they are pregnant, and don't blindly take various treatment drugs.

Does body temperature rise in early pregnancy?

Many sisters who are preparing for pregnancy infer whether they are pregnant by observing the changes in their body temperature every day. Under normal circumstances, a pregnant woman's body temperature will rise slightly, almost reaching the state of fever, but starting from about 13 weeks of pregnancy, the body temperature will return to normal. In the early stages of pregnancy, the body temperature of pregnant women is between 36.9℃-37.2℃. Everyone's physical fitness is different. If this high temperature period lasts about 15 to 18 days and there are no other abnormal reactions, no menstrual period, or even early pregnancy symptoms, it can generally be considered a sign of pregnancy.

The body temperature rises in early pregnancy. Is it a fever or a cold?

If you are already sure that you are pregnant, but your body temperature in the early stages of pregnancy is always higher than before, and you are worried that you have a cold, you can read the professional interpretation of obstetrician and gynecologist Fan Jianhui.

The doctor's summary is as follows:

1. Normal women will have a fever after ovulation.

2. The human body temperature will be slightly lower before ovulation, and 0.3 to 0.5 degrees higher after ovulation.

3. If you don’t get pregnant after ovulation, your body temperature will drop, and if you are pregnant, it will last for a while.

4. During the first week or a period of time in the early stages of pregnancy, the body temperature is slightly high, which is not a problem.

However, the doctor also said that the rise in body temperature also has a normal range.

If it exceeds 37.5 degrees or you have other symptoms, such as fever, cold, cough, headache, etc., then you need to see if you have other respiratory infections or other conditions.

To sum up, during pregnancy, the human body temperature will rise, and then stabilize, so it is not easy for the height to differ too much. If the body temperature is sometimes high and sometimes low, it may be a sign of corpus luteum insufficiency. If the body temperature rises abnormally and you feel obviously uncomfortable, you must see a doctor as you may have a cold and fever.

Tips: It is best to measure body temperature at a fixed time every day. The ovulation temperature is the body temperature measured after all influences are eliminated (it is best to measure it upon waking up).
