Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: My temperature rises to 37 degrees or higher after ovulation, but this time, two days after ovulation, my temperature is still between 36.7 and 36.8, without rising. Could it be due to luteal phase deficiency? If I am pregnant, is this possible?Doctor's answer:
??????Hello, women's basal body temperature is often lower before ovulation during the menstrual cycle. A normal basal body temperature (the temperature upon waking up in the morning) is usually below 37 degrees Celsius, around 36.4-36.6 degrees Celsius. During ovulation, the temperature slightly drops, typically by about 0.2 degrees Celsius. After ovulation, the average temperature rises by about 0.5 degrees Celsius and remains stable until it begins to drop before the onset of menstruation.
