Patient's question:
Can the temperature in the mouth be measured with a thermometer during ovulation? Do you need to measure it every day of the month?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Generally, the body temperature is relatively low during the ovulation period, and it gradually rises after ovulation.It is recommended to measure your basal body temperature every day upon waking up before getting out of bed. Record the data daily. If you notice a sudden drop of 0.4-0.5 degrees in your temperature on a particular day, that day is likely your ovulation day. On that day, plan to have intercourse once, and then again the next day. This will help you not to miss the opportunity to conceive. You can also use ovulation test strips or an ultrasound examination to check for the presence of follicles, their size, and gradual growth. Generally, a mature follicle with a diameter of 20-24mm will lead to quick ovulation, indicating the ovulation period.
Wishing you success!
