What is the reason why body temperature does not rise after ovulation?

Body temperature is very important to each of us. We can judge the health status of our body at any time by monitoring our body temperature. Many women who are preparing for pregnancy usually monitor their body temperature to judge whether they are in the ovulation period. During the ovulation period, the body temperature of women is different from the normal body temperature. The body temperature generally rises during ovulation and drops after ovulation.

What is the reason why the body temperature does not rise after ovulation?

Generally speaking, as soon as ovulation begins, a woman's basal body temperature will rise. The day of ovulation is the day when the body temperature rises from the low temperature range to the high temperature range, which is exactly at the turning point.

After the egg is released from the ovary, it can survive in the fallopian tube for 1-2 days, waiting for fertilization; the male's sperm can maintain its fertilization ability in the female's reproductive tract for 2-3 days, so it is easy to get pregnant through sexual intercourse a few days before and after the egg is released. To be on the safe side, we call the 5 days before and 4 days after ovulation, together with the ovulation day, a total of 10 days, the ovulation period.

The basal body temperature of a normal ovulating woman is in the low temperature period, which lasts for about two weeks, from the onset of menstruation to the ovulation date; the high temperature period is from the ovulation date to the next menstruation date, with the body temperature rising by 0.3 to 0.5°C, which also lasts for two weeks. Ovulation usually occurs before or during the rise in body temperature. The easiest time to get pregnant (the best time to conceive) is 3 days before and 4 days after ovulation.

The quality of the egg can be roughly judged based on the body temperature during ovulation. If the high temperature period during ovulation is longer, lasting 13-14 days, it means that the egg quality is good and it is easier to get pregnant during this period.

What are the symptoms of ovulation?

First, there is a decrease in appetite. Most women have poor appetite these days and eat less.

Second, they are energetic. During the ovulation period, women's instinct makes them like to express themselves more.

Third, the sexual desire is stronger because these days are the time when pregnancy is possible.

Fourth, the body’s resistance will be weaker.

5. Increased vaginal discharge.

The most important and obvious symptom of ovulation is increased vaginal discharge. By understanding leucorrhea, we can better infer the ovulation period.

1. What is leucorrhea

Leucorrhea, or vaginal discharge, is a mixture of vaginal mucosal exudate, cervical glands and endometrial gland secretions, and contains vaginal epithelial exfoliated cells, white blood cells and some non-pathogenic bacteria.

Under normal circumstances, the quality and quantity of vaginal discharge vary with the menstrual cycle. After the menstruation is over, the vaginal discharge is small in volume, white in color, and paste-like. In the middle of the menstrual cycle when the ovaries are about to ovulate, due to the vigorous secretion of the cervical glands, the leucorrhea increases and becomes transparent and slightly sticky like egg white. 2 to 3 days after ovulation, vaginal discharge becomes turbid, thick and less in quantity. Before and after menstruation, due to pelvic congestion, vaginal mucosal exudate increases and leucorrhea often increases.

2. How to observe leucorrhea

In the first half of the menstrual cycle, that is, before ovulation, the ovaries mainly secrete estrogen, and the secretion amount gradually increases. Under its action, the amount of cervical mucus also gradually increases, and becomes thinner and more translucent. The lower body, which has been relatively dry after menstruation, will gradually become moist.

When ovulation occurs, estrogen secretion reaches its peak, the amount of cervical mucus is the largest, and its toughness is the greatest. Clear mucus often flows out in strips that can sometimes be very long. At this time, the woman's lower body is the wettest. When the above-mentioned strip-like leucorrhea flows out, there will be a greasy feeling. It is different from the increased leucorrhea caused by vaginitis and cervical erosion. The former is clear and transparent, without any odor, of which more than 95% is water; the latter is yellow and thick or cheese-like, and makes the vulva itchy and uncomfortable, and often has a bad smell. During ovulation, the cervical mucus is secreted in large quantities for about 2 to 3 days, which is also the time when the lower body feels the most moist.
