Patient's question:
Temperature tracking ovulation, is it not accurate if measured at times other than in the morning?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Generally, the most accurate method is the basal body temperature measurement. That is: the temperature measured after the body has been asleep for a relatively long time (usually in the morning) and before any activity or speaking has occurred is the basal body temperature. Under normal circumstances, the basal body temperature of women of childbearing age is lower in the first half of the menstrual cycle, even lower during ovulation, and can suddenly or gradually rise by 0.3—0.6℃ within 24 hours to a few days after ovulation.Therefore, it is best to start measuring basal body temperature on the first day of menstruation, persist in measuring every day, and record the results on graph paper for observation and analysis.
