Patient's question:
How to use body temperature to determine if it's ovulation period? Please explain in detail, thank you! First follow-up question: Doctor, you still didn't clarify how to measure it. What temperature indicates ovulation period? How low is considered low? How high is considered high? I don't understand???Doctor's answer:
Hello: That depends on your basal body temperature. The calculation of ovulation is not absolute; it varies from person to person. Under normal circumstances, the temperature rises. Nowadays, many people are planning to have children on purpose and are very concerned about how to calculate ovulation, how to know which day is the ovulation day using the basal body temperature method, and how to do this method correctly.For women with a regular menstrual cycle, the day of ovulation is actually relatively fixed, usually around 14 days before the next menstrual period. For example, if this period is on March 5th, the next period might be around April 5th, making the ovulation day around March 20th. For women with irregular menstrual cycles, it may be more difficult to pinpoint the ovulation date. The simplest method is to measure the basal body temperature to determine the ovulation date.
The correct method for measuring basal body temperature is to take the temperature every morning after waking up without any physical activity, starting in bed, and using a mouth thermometer.
After measuring, record the temperature each day on a temperature chart. Once the temperature rises by 0.5 degrees compared to the previous day and remains elevated for three to five days, that day may be the ovulation day. If you want to conceive during ovulation, the best time to have intercourse is one to two days after the temperature rises, as this has the highest conception rate.
