What is the normal range for basal body temperature?

Patient's question:

Please ask the expert:
1. Starting from the first day of menstruation, if the basal body temperature rises on the 16th day, is this normal?
2. Does the rise in temperature indicate ovulation? Is it the safe period?
Thank you for the answer!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, basal body temperature measurement method. That is: the temperature measured after the body has been asleep for a long time (usually in the morning) and before any activity or speech 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 period, lower during ovulation, and can suddenly or slowly 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 it on graph paper for observation and analysis.
