Menstrual follicular phase ovulation body temperature: three critical periods in the female menstrual cycle

menstruation

Menstruation refers to a woman’s first menstrual period every month. During this period, the female reproductive organs begin to change to adapt to the new cycle. When menstruation comes, the blood volume in a woman's body will increase, and the hormone levels in the body will also change. During this period, a woman's body temperature rises, which is caused by changes in hormonal levels in the body.

egg mature

The egg matures in the late menstrual period, which is the 14th day of the menstrual cycle. Around this date, a woman's body temperature will rise and continue until day 16 of her menstrual cycle. During this process, a woman's eggs gradually mature and prepare for fertilization.

follicular phase

The follicular phase is between the 16th and 20th days of the menstrual cycle. During this period, a woman's eggs mature and prepare for fertilization. The range of body temperature changes during this period will be relatively large, and usually the body temperature will increase by 0.5 to 1 degree Celsius. This period is one of the most fertile periods for women because the eggs are mature and waiting to be fertilized by sperm.

Ovulation period

Ovulation is between the 20th and 24th days of the menstrual cycle. The temperature changes during this period will be relatively small, usually increasing by 0.3 to 0.5 degrees Celsius. During this period, a woman's eggs are released outside her body, waiting to be fertilized by sperm. This period is also one of the most fertile periods for women because the sperm and egg have met and are ready for fertilization.

Measure body temperature

The method of measuring body temperature is very simple. You only need to measure the body temperature at the end of menstruation and on the day of ovulation. During this period, women's body temperature usually rises, and body temperature can be measured to understand the physiological condition of the body. If in any doubt, it is recommended to consult a doctor or professional advisor.
