Basal temperature before monthly
Initially, we will determine what the basaltemperature. This temperature is measured in the vagina of a woman, as well as in the rectum or in the mouth. I would like to recall that the menstrual cycle of each girl has three phases: follicular, ovulatory and luteal. In each of them in the body of a woman, the level of hormones changes. And so very often there is an increased basal temperature before the monthly, which reacts to the level of hormones in different phases.
What is it measured for?
Measuring basal temperature can indicate what is happening in your body. Namely:
- Is there an ovulation in a woman
- When the egg ripens and it matures at all
- Determining the date of the next period
- How the endocrine system works
- Helps identify various gynecological diseases
- Identify pregnancy
What is the basal temperature before monthly and how to measure it correctly?
This question, perhaps, worries many women. Find out what your basal temperature before the monthly can be used as a simple thermometer, and a special electronic. The latter is not entirely accurate. To measure this temperature, it is necessary to prepare the thermometer in advance. Namely, knock it down to 36 degrees from the evening and put it near your bed so that you can reach out with your hand.
The measurement procedure should last about threemonths, during which it is necessary to keep a schedule with accurately entered indicators. When measuring, it should be remembered that the basal temperature before the monthly can be slightly elevated. As it was said at the beginning, the reason for this is the level of hormones that changes in the body of a woman during this period.
After you extracted the thermometer you need totake its readings, then write them into a table. Then we build a schedule for these indications. An example of such a table and even a form can be downloaded on the Internet or taken from your gynecologist, who will draw conclusions from the indicators collected by you.
We should tell a little about chart managementbasal temperature, in which it is necessary to indicate possible factors that may affect the exact indicators. It can be various diseases (even a common cold), medication, alcohol intake, bad sleep, long trips, sexual intercourse.
You ask: "What basal temperature during menstruation is normal?". About this further.
If we talk about the duration of the menstrual cycle, which is 28 days, then such basal temperature values will be considered the norm, as:
- The first day of the cycle the temperature should not exceed 36.6 ° C;
- Closer to the middle of the cycle, the oocyte ripens and the basal temperature reaches 37.3 ° C;
- Then it rises to 37.4 ° C during the ovulation period, which is considered the norm.
If the menstrual cycle is less than or more than 28 days, then an increase in basal temperature will occur in a slightly different way. But the period of ovulation lasts no more than 14 days.
As you can see, the basal temperature before the monthly can increase and there is no reason for excitement here. It should be noted several important rules for measuring it.
1. You can not measure basal temperature after you have already got out of bed. Since the data in this case will be unreliable.
2. The basal temperature in the second phase of the cycle should not exceed 37.4 ° C.
3. You can not change the place of basal temperature measurement.
4. Measurement must be carried out for at least three months. Only in this case it is possible to make reliable and most accurate conclusions about the state of health of a woman.
5. If the basal temperature is 37.2 ° C for several days and does not change, then it is most likely a pregnancy.
