Temperature changes during ovulation

Let's first understand how body temperature changes. Human body temperature is usually based on body temperature measured with an oral surface, often called basal body temperature (B-ultrasound). Basal body temperature refers to the body temperature measured at any time of the day starting from the first day of menstruation.

During ovulation, body temperature usually rises. This is because during ovulation, eggs are released from the ovaries and the temperature regulation center begins to change. Under normal circumstances, a woman's body temperature fluctuates between 36.1 and 37.2 degrees Celsius during the menstrual cycle. During ovulation, the body temperature fluctuation range will reach its highest value, usually peaking in the afternoon or evening, and then gradually decrease.

Why does body temperature rise? This is because during ovulation, hormone levels in women's bodies will change, causing an impact on the temperature regulation center. The main hormones in the female body are estrogen and progesterone, which affect the thermoregulatory center and cause the body temperature to rise.

What is the pattern of body temperature changes during ovulation? Generally speaking, women's body temperature changes are regular during the menstrual cycle. Body temperature usually drops early in the cycle and then gradually rises. During ovulation, the body temperature fluctuation range reaches its highest value and then gradually decreases. The rate of increase in body temperature usually increases gradually, so the change in body temperature may last for several hours.

In addition to basal body temperature, ovulation can also be predicted by measuring oral surface body temperature. Women should avoid exercising or eating while taking the measurement to ensure accurate measurements.

By understanding the temperature changes during ovulation, women can better predict the release of eggs, thereby better scheduling sexual intercourse and improving their chances of having children. If you have any questions, please consult your doctor or professional advisor.
