Patient's question:
7th treatment history and effectiveness: On the 7th of last month, I had a treatment at the traditional Chinese medicine hospital. What help do I want: I want to consult if I can get pregnant this month? What day is the ovulation period this month?Doctor's answer:
Women experience different stages of body temperature due to a monthly cycle, so it's possible to determine the ovulation day by tracking body temperature. The requirements for measuring body temperature are: before getting out of bed in the morning, without exercise, and without any major movements. This is the most original body temperature, which is the lowest in the day after waking up without loud talking or vigorous turning. This temperature is called the basal body temperature. By comparing daily measurements of this basal body temperature, the ovulation day can be identified. This requires sufficient patience and perseverance, as it must be measured every day. You can place the thermometer on the bedside table in a position where it can be easily reached upon waking. It's best to measure it before 7 a.m. in the morning.During the follicular phase (the time when the follicle gradually grows before ovulation), the body temperature is relatively low. At this time, my measured temperature was 36.3°C, and many other women who measured it also recorded 36.2-36.3°C, which can serve as a simple reference. However, it's important to note that each person's basal body temperature is different, so there's no need to worry about these small temperature differences.
On the day of ovulation, the body temperature reaches its lowest point in the entire cycle.
After ovulation (in the luteal phase): The body temperature rises immediately, with an increase of about 0.3-0.5°C, resulting in a temperature of around 36.7-36.8°C.
If pregnancy occurs, the body temperature will not remain at a high level. If pregnancy fails, the body temperature will return to the basal level of around 36.2°C before menstruation.
