Patient's question:
I'm planning to have a baby, but my menstrual cycle is irregular. I'm using the basal body temperature method to track ovulation, but my basal body temperature is higher than my normal body temperature. I'm not sure if there's a problem with this. Also, I'd like to ask if it's possible to determine if I'm pregnant from a basal body temperature chart?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your menstrual cycle is very irregular, and you want to have a child. You might consider that it is caused by endocrine disorders. In this case, you can take progesterone to regulate it. You can also take deer placenta ointment for treatment. Avoid some strenuous exercise, fatigue, emotional instability, and other discomforts. Beverages like coffee and tea can increase anxiety and unease, so you should drink less of them. You can switch to drinking barley tea instead. Avoid eating very cold foods.You can use an ovulation test strip to check. If it shows two lines, it means you have ovulated and can have intercourse. Stay mentally relaxed and maintain a positive attitude. You can now take folic acid tablets to prevent congenital neural tube defects in the fetus.
