On the health of women, the work of the endocrine system can be judged by plotting a measurement of basal temperature. The indications of this schedule will help to identify endometritis , which will be indicated by the retention of some basal temperature of the woman at elevated elevations during menstruation. In addition, according to the schedule, it is possible to identify in a timely manner the likely conception of an infant.
The temperature of the female body at rest, measured no more than six hours after awakening, is called basal. Its measurement and competent scheduling is recommended if:
- pregnancy is unsuccessful for more than a calendar year;
- there is a suspicion that the partner is infertile;
- in the body hormonal failures are possible.
The doctor can show by the results of the graph readings:
- problems in the endocrine system;
- time of maturation of the egg;
- success of egg maturation;
- when to expect the following monthly;
- Whether the pregnancy has come, or the delay is caused by diseases.
Also, a doctor can cause diseases of the sexual organs of a woman and the endocrine system. However, such assumptions, based on baseline temperature readings, must be supported by appropriate analyzes and examinations.
Basal temperature for ovulation
Most often basal temperature is measured to determine ovulation - the girls are in control for successful conception. To find the most favorable period for successful conception is possible due to the maintenance of this graph of basal temperatures. The basal temperature should be measured immediately after awakening in the rectum, vagina or oral cavity, but not under the armpits. The thermometer can be used both digital and mercury. A woman should be at rest, and no external factors should not influence her.
The constructed graph should consist of such graphs: cycle day, basal temperature, and also graph of additional factors that can affect the change in body temperature of a woman - taking medications, various infectious diseases, drinking alcohol, sexual intercourse and other. The schedule begins to build from the first day of the cycle, daily to record the data, and within three menstrual cycles, you can establish a pattern.
Many women measure the basal temperature during ovulation, in order to make it easier to get pregnant - the testimony of the chart with the highest temperature will help to find out about the pregnancy that has come.
What is the basal temperature for ovulation?
To draw up a schedule, it is common to differentiate the phases of your menstrual cycle for periods - before ovulation, during ovulation and after the termination of ovulation. According to the doctors, the temperature difference between the three cycles should not be less than 0.4-0.5 degrees Celsius. Basal temperature on the day of ovulation will be higher than usual.
If in the middle of the cycle the temperature drops a bit - up to 36.6 - this will be the basal temperature norm for ovulation, and after a few hours the thermometer will show a minimum of 37 degrees, with a normal hormonal background this temperature will last until the onset of menstruation. If this happens, you can say that ovulation was successful and you can try to conceive again a child, most likely, conception will be successful. In any case, it is better to analyze the results of the resulting graph together with a gynecologist.
