Body temperature changes during ovulation

For women, during the ovulation period, the body temperature will change to a certain extent. Generally speaking, the body temperature will rise by 0.3~0.5 degrees during the ovulation period. Such a temperature change will help to understand your ovulation period. This is a better basis for women who are anxious to have a baby. During the ovulation period, the changes in body temperature are also relatively regular. Let's take a look at this aspect.

Body temperature changes during ovulation

After waking up in the morning, measure your oral temperature with a thermometer without moving your body.

Mark the measured temperature on the basal body temperature chart.

Use a line to connect the body temperature data for a month to form a curve, and use this curve to determine whether it is the ovulation period.

Ovulation body temperature chart 1: Normal ovulation, low temperature period and high temperature period are obvious.

If ovulation is normal, the low temperature period and the high temperature period are very obvious. In a normal cycle without pregnancy, there is first a low temperature period, and after ovulation, the temperature rises due to the influence of progesterone (luteinizing hormone) secreted by the corpus luteum. After the normal luteal phase of about 14 days, the corpus luteum shrinks and stops secreting progesterone (luteinizing hormone). When progesterone decreases below a certain amount, it no longer affects the body temperature regulation center, and the body temperature returns to the low temperature period. At the same time, menstruation comes.

Ovulation body temperature chart 2: No ovulation, continued low temperature.

If the ovaries are not functioning properly, there will be no ovulation and no corpus luteum will be formed, and there will be no progesterone (luteinizing hormone) to affect the body temperature regulation center. The basal body temperature will not rise and the body temperature will remain low.

Ovulation temperature chart 3: insufficient progesterone concentration, body temperature rises too slowly

If a woman's basal body temperature rises slowly and has not reached above 36.9 degrees for more than three days, this condition is a "climbing" basal body temperature, which is also a manifestation of the slow and insufficient production of the female corpus luteum function.

Ovulation period body temperature chart 4: Poor luteal function and slow drop in body temperature.

If the high temperature is less than 12 days, it seems that the woman's corpus luteum function is not maintained for a long enough time, which is often one of the manifestations of corpus luteum dysfunction.

Ovulation body temperature chart 5: Insufficient corpus luteum and insufficient duration of high temperature.

If the body temperature is uneven during the high temperature period, and the difference is relatively large, this situation is called "saddle-type" body temperature, which is also a manifestation of luteal insufficiency.

It is recommended that you learn more about the relevant information so that you can pay more attention to your body changes and ensure that your body is normal during ovulation.
