Patient's question:
Hello doctor. I would like to ask, is the body temperature during ovulation higher or lower than usual?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Generally, body temperature is lower during ovulation and gradually rises after ovulation. It is recommended to measure basal body temperature every day upon waking up before getting out of bed. Record the data daily. If you notice a sudden drop of 0.4-0.5 degrees in temperature on a particular day, that day is likely the day of ovulation. On that day, plan to have sexual intercourse once, and then again the next day. This will help you not to miss the opportunity to conceive. You can also use ovulation test strips or ultrasound to check for the presence of follicles, their size, and gradual growth. Generally, a mature follicle with a diameter of 20-24mm will ovulate quickly, indicating the ovulation period.
