Temperature changes during ovulation

Careful women may find that the body temperature varies at certain times each month, especially during ovulation. For women who are preparing for pregnancy, if they don’t know their ovulation period, they can also find out by measuring their body temperature. So, what changes in body temperature will women notice during ovulation?

What is the temperature change chart during ovulation?

Generally, women's body temperature will rise slightly during their ovulation period. This is because the day after ovulation, the uterus and ovaries produce progesterone, which will increase the body temperature by about 0.6 degrees Celsius, causing the body temperature to change between high and low phases. That is, the basal body temperature is below 36.5 degrees Celsius about two weeks before ovulation, and the ovulation body temperature is above 36.5 degrees Celsius about two weeks after ovulation.

The high temperature period during ovulation will last about 12-16 days. If there is no pregnancy, the corpus luteum will stop metabolizing progesterone, and the body temperature will drop and return to normal. If you are already pregnant, the uterus will continue to secrete progesterone and the body temperature will remain high. However, women need to be aware that there is a condition that can cause the body temperature to remain extremely low, and that is poor ovarian function.

However, it is recommended to measure the body temperature when you just wake up, and then use a trend chart to record the changes in body temperature over time, so that you can easily see the changes in body temperature during ovulation. In addition, if you have a fever, a cold, or lack of rest, it will also affect the changes in body temperature during ovulation.

What is the role of the ovulation temperature change chart

What is the purpose of this ovulation temperature change record? In fact, recording body temperature changes is helpful in determining whether a woman is in the ovulation period and is helpful in preparing for pregnancy. Secondly, it can also be used to determine whether you are in the early stages of pregnancy. If you have a higher ovulation temperature for more than two weeks, you may be pregnant. At this time, you can use a pregnancy test strip to test it.

In addition to the changes in body temperature during ovulation, what other symptoms will occur during ovulation?

Some women may feel a slight falling sensation at the anus, and also a slight pain in one side of the lower abdomen. If you still don't know your ovulation period, it is recommended that you use an ovulation test strip to detect whether you are in your ovulation period.
