Patient's question:
Is it necessary to take a basal body temperature test for ovulation in the morning? I've taken my temperature at other times, and the readings have been quite similar. Could it be that I'm not ovulating?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Basal body temperature measurement. That is: the temperature measured after the body has been asleep for a long time (usually in the morning) and before any activity or speech has occurred is the basal body temperature. Under normal circumstances, the basal body temperature of women of childbearing age is lower in the first half of the menstrual cycle, lower during ovulation, and can suddenly or slowly rise by 0.3—0.6℃ within 24 hours to a few days after ovulation.Therefore, it is best to start measuring basal body temperature on the first day of menstruation, persist in measuring every day, and record it on graph paper for observation and analysis.
