Patient's question:
My normal basal body temperature is 36.2 or 36.3 degrees. On the 15th in the morning, it was 36.1 (I noticed pinkish-brown discharge in my underwear, similar to menstruation, but it only lasted for one day). On the 16th in the morning, it was 36.4. On the 17th, it was 36.05. On the 18th, the temperature was 36.6 degrees. On the 19th, I measured it after eating breakfast, and the temperature was 36.4. Today, on the 20th, I measured it after getting up and washing my face, and it was 36.6. So, is this ovulation period? If it is, is this variation normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello! For women with a regular menstrual cycle, ovulation usually occurs about 14 days before the next menstrual period. Having intercourse five days before and four days after ovulation increases the chances of pregnancy. If a woman has her period every 30 days, ovulation typically occurs on day 16 of her cycle, making the five days before and four days after ovulation her fertile window.
