Patient's question:
After pregnancy, is the body temperature higher or lower than normal?The temperature rises during ovulation. How long does it last?
Doctor's answer:
Hello:Calculation of ovulation is not absolute and varies from person to person. Under normal circumstances, body temperature rises. Nowadays, many people plan to have children on purpose and are very concerned about how to calculate ovulation and how to use the basal body temperature method to determine the ovulation day. How should the basal body temperature method be done correctly?
If a woman has 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 month's period is on March 5th, the next period might be on April 5th, and the ovulation day could be around March 20th. For women with irregular menstrual cycles, it may be more difficult to determine the ovulation date. The simplest method is to measure the basal body temperature to find 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 an oral thermometer.
After taking the temperature, record the daily temperature on a temperature chart. When 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.
After pregnancy, body temperature is slightly higher than usual.
