What is the normal body temperature for women?

Women's menstrual period is quite special. Many women have been insisting on preparing for pregnancy after marriage. In order to increase the chance of conception, they will choose to have sex during the ovulation period. However, the method of finding the ovulation period is to use the basal body temperature. Women's body temperature will change during menstruation, so women must understand the normal body temperature. So what is the normal body temperature for women?

First, what is the normal body temperature for women? Women's body temperature changes in both directions with the menstrual cycle. Before ovulation is the follicular phase, the ovaries secrete estrogen, and the basal body temperature is mostly passively below 36.6℃. After ovulation, a corpus luteum is formed in the ovary, which secretes progesterone. Progesterone has a thermogenic effect on the central nervous system, raising the basal body temperature by 0.3-0.5°C. The increase in body temperature continues until 1-2 days before the onset of menstruation and then begins to decline. In this way, the changes in basal body temperature during an ovulatory menstrual cycle present a biphasic curve. When the temperature transitions from low temperature to high temperature, an extremely low temperature will occur. The day when the extremely low temperature occurs is the ovulation day.

Second, what is the normal body temperature in the early stages of pregnancy? Generally speaking, a person's normal body temperature is 36-37°C (measured under the armpit). The body temperature of pregnant women will rise in the early stages of pregnancy, but after the second trimester (13 weeks of pregnancy), the body temperature will return to its original normal state. In the early stages of pregnancy, the pregnant woman's body temperature is between 36.9℃-37.2℃. If this high temperature period lasts for more than 21 days and there are no other abnormal reactions, no menstruation, and even early pregnancy reactions, it can generally be considered a sign of pregnancy. If the body temperature fluctuates, it should be taken seriously, especially for patients with habitual miscarriage, who should take timely measures. After a woman becomes pregnant, her luteinizing hormone level increases. Generally, the basal body temperature of women in the follicular phase is 36.5°C, and the temperature will rise by 0.5°C during the luteal phase. It is a normal physiological phenomenon for pregnant women to have an increased body temperature in the early stages of pregnancy. Pregnant women can pay attention to changes in their body temperature and use this to preliminarily infer that they are pregnant. If they find abnormal changes in body temperature, they need to go to the hospital for examination in time to rule out potential diseases.

What is the normal body temperature of a woman? The normal body temperature of a woman is 36.1-36.9 degrees. If a woman's basal body temperature rises after pregnancy, her basal body temperature will rise. If a woman's basal body temperature reaches a high temperature for 21 days, it basically means that she is pregnant. The requirements for measuring basal body temperature are quite strict, and everyone must measure it strictly in accordance with the regulations.
