Basal temperature before menstruation: what should be when it rises
The changing basal temperature before menstruation reflects the state of the female body. Its fluctuations must be reflected in the chart. This information will be required when planning pregnancy, determining ovulation, or detecting gynecological diseases.
What should be the normal basal temperature?
It is necessary to measure the basal temperature regularly, keeping the data obtained. Unlike body temperature, it does not have a tangible effect on the body. Therefore, her fluctuations often go unnoticed. It reflects the state of the mucous membranes and the processes occurring in the body. When ovulation occurs, significant changes occur, allowing you to successfully plan for conception.
Basal temperature before menstruation should rise
This temperature is measured in the rectum, mouth, or vagina. Its normal value in the second half of the cycle depends on the processes in the body:
- 36,9 – indicates the absence of ovulation. Anovulatory cycles can occur 2-3 times a year at any age, which does not indicate infertility.
- 37–37,2 – informs about the onset of pregnancy.
If the temperature rises higher, health may be at risk. Often the cause is inflammatory disease or estrogen deficiency. This is a reason to see a doctor.
When should it increase during pregnancy?
To track fluctuations, the graph must be clearly plotted. A vertical column is used to record thermometer values. The horizontal column displays the days in sequence. Measurements must be taken daily, starting from the 1st day of the cycle.
Disease, alcohol and certain medications reduce the information content of the data
An increase in basal temperature occurs a few days before menstruation. It persists steadily until menstruation occurs. The measurement takes place immediately after waking up, until the woman gets out of bed. To do this, you need to use only one method, as well as a thermometer of one type.
How many days before menstruation does the value decrease?
After the end of menstruation, the basal temperature gradually decreases. This occurs before the onset of the 2nd phase of the cycle. At the onset of menstruation, its value does not exceed 37 degrees. When planning a pregnancy, the doctor monitors changes in the schedule. It may also be needed for:
- Protections;
- Revealing infertility;
- Definitions of endometritis and hormonal disruptions.
Under stress, data can be erroneous. Taking hormonal drugs makes them useless.
The temperature graph must be kept sequentially. It will reflect the woman’s health.
