If a woman watches her basaltemperature, it can find out how well its reproductive system functions. Over time, she will learn to determine the time of onset of ovulation and menstruation, will be able to suspect pregnancy and inflammation.

At first glance, the method seems inconvenient andsuspicious. However, a woman, as a rule, very quickly gets used to measuring temperature every morning. Conducting research for several months and seeing that the method works, he begins to trust him.

So, let's figure out how it works. The menstrual cycle is divided into two periods, divides their ovulation. Before her, the level of estrogen providing follicle growth is high. These hormones lower the basal temperature.

After ovulation, a yellow body stands outprogesterone. This hormone raises the temperature. When his level decreases, menstruation begins. Therefore, in the first phase, the temperature is low, and in the second phase - high. The difference between their averages should be more than 0.4 degrees.

In the second phase, usually a basal temperature of 37 and above, and in the first, it keeps below this mark. However, other indicators do not always indicate a pathology, but may be a variant of the norm.

The basal temperature of 37 and above should be kepttwo weeks. The length of this period can vary by two days. If it is less than 10 days and the temperature is below normal, then a yellow body can be deficient. In this situation, the onset of pregnancy becomes problematic.

In this case, check the level of progesterone andprescribe gestagens, mostly "Dufaston." If the pregnancy has occurred against its background, then it should be continued until 20 weeks to avoid miscarriage.

The basal temperature is 37.2 degrees usuallyis the highest in the second phase. Too high values ​​may indicate inflammation of the appendages. Although there are cases when it rose to 38, and it was a variant of the norm. It is also important to take into account the overall body temperature, which increases with influenza and other diseases.

Basal temperature of 37 or just below holds a few days before menstruation, usually 3. This is due to a decrease in the level of progesterone.

A one-day decrease in temperature through7-10 days after ovulation. This phenomenon is called implantation sinking. At this point, the embryo is introduced into the endometrium. The decrease in temperature is explained by the fact that a jump in the level of estrogen occurs, and on the other hand, progesterone production is already decreasing in this period.

Basal temperature 37.4, absencemenstruation and the duration of more than 18 days of the second phase may indicate a pregnancy that has occurred. At this level, it must last for the first 4 months. Then the measurement becomes uninformative.

The temperature may be lower, but shouldexceed 37. If its values ​​are lower, then one can suspect a threat of miscarriage due to a lack of progesterone. In this case, an analysis is given to determine its level. When confirming the fear, gestagens are appointed.

If the basal temperature falls beforemonthly, and during them rises, it can be evidence of inflammation of the mucous uterus. Normally, during the monthly period, the temperature should gradually decrease to the minimum values ​​of the first phase.

If basal temperature is 37 with smallfluctuations is maintained throughout the cycle, this may mean that there is an increased amount of prolactin. It blocks the allocation of LH, FSH and ovulation does not occur. Pregnancy in this cycle is impossible.

If the temperature is kept high before and duringunusual monthly, and after them falls sharply, then, probably, there was a miscarriage at an early date. However, only the gynecologist can decipher the obtained data.

So, the basal temperature at 37 degrees and above should be in the second phase and in the first months of pregnancy. During menstruation and before ovulation, such values ​​are pathology.
