Measurement of basal temperature is a fairly simple procedure, but it can be used to determine the state of a large number of processes in the human body. Of particular interest is the method of measuring basal temperature to determine the state of the female body: ovulation and pregnancy. If a woman is planning a pregnancy, then monitoring the basal temperature is a daily necessary manipulation. In our article, we will try to describe in detail what is being said about certain basal temperature values before the monthly ones.
What can be the basal temperature before menstruation?
Before writing about the possible values of basal temperature, we should say about the method of measuring basal temperature. This procedure is carried out in the morning, without getting out of bed with the help of an ordinary thermometer. The normal basal temperature before the monthly, in case there is no ovulation and in the absence of pregnancy, is 36.9 ° C. This value may say either that ovulation is no longer, or about the anovulatory menstrual cycle .
An increase in the basal temperature before the monthly to 37-37.2 ° C, most likely, indicates a pregnancy has come - in this case, you can not wait for a month.
A slightly increased basal temperature before the monthly - 37.5 ° C indicates the presence of inflammation in the pelvic organs, and this should be the reason for contacting the gynecologist.
High basal temperature before menstruation may be a consequence of an insufficient level of estrogen, which can be the cause of infertility. This symptom also requires consultation with a gynecologist and endocrinologist. In some women, the increase in basal temperature before menstruation may be due to the influence of progesterone on the center of thermoregulation. During the monthly basal temperature is 37 ° C.
Lowering the basal temperature below 36.9 ° C before the monthly is also an alarm signal, in which you can see the cause of non-occurrence of pregnancy. So, the lowered temperature can be at an inflammation of an internal wall of a uterus ( endometritis ), then in the first days of a menses it raises above 37 ° С.
It should be noted that it is possible to track the dynamics of basal temperature in your body during the menstrual cycle only if you perform daily measurements during at least three menstrual cycles.
Basal temperature before monthly
If you analyze the normal basal temperature chart before the monthly, you can see that a few days before the monthly (2-3 days) the temperature is minimal (36.7 °), during the luteal phase (14-20 days) there is a tendency to its growth and reaches a maximum at the time of ovulation (37.0-37.2 ° C).
If there is a pregnancy, then this indicator of basal temperature will be before menstruation. In the case when a woman has spotting, and a basal
Thus, after studying the feasibility of studying basal temperature during the menstrual cycle, it can be said that this rather simple method can allow women to suspect infertility, anovulatory menstrual cycles, and inflammatory bowel disease. If a woman is planning a pregnancy, then the basal temperature measurement for three menstrual cycles will help in diagnosis.
