Decoding of the basal temperature graph: nuances and features

Regardless of the purpose for which you decided to start monitoring the work of the reproductive system of your body, you will have to start building temperature curves, learn how to read and analyze them. If you correctly build a basal temperature measurement schedule , a few months later, based on the values displayed in it, you will be able to evaluate your body's work, you will know if you are ovulating and when is the most favorable period for fertilization of the egg. This knowledge should help both in planning pregnancy and in preventing unwanted conception.
The interpretation of the basal temperature chart has its own characteristics and in order to learn how to accurately determine the date of ovulation and the estimated time of the onset of menstruation, it will take some time, but for this it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the general rules for constructing such graphs and analyzing them.

If you know all the nuances of the measurement, then it's time to figure out how the obtained indicators need to be analyzed. So, with a normal ovulatory cycle in the first phase, the temperature should be lower than the second, during ovulation a sharp upward jump occurs, and at the beginning of the monthly it drops again. If, on the days of the expected menstruation, you see that the basal temperature is increasing , pregnancy is likely to have already occurred.
According to the rules established by WHO, the ovulation line on the graph should be carried out when, as a result of the last 3 measurements, the indicators were higher than the previous ones 6. Thus, over the highest value of 6, the middle line is drawn, and the next 3 indicators should be Be 0.1 to 0.2 C above this line. At first, it may seem that decoding the basal temperature chart and determining ovulation is a complicated process, but usually at the first glance at the chart everything becomes clear. If you were able to draw the middle line and the ovulation line, then further work with the resulting curve should not cause difficulties.
Normally, the difference between the average parameters of the first and second phases should be more than 0.4 C, and the length of the period after ovulation should be about 12-16 days, otherwise it may indicate hormonal problems. It is also desirable that, after the release of the egg, the temperature throughout the whole of the second phase should remain at about 37 ° C and fall only at the beginning of the critical days. If these conditions are not observed on your schedule, a competent interpretation of the basal temperature schedule may show that you have certain problems, even if ovulation, judging by the indicators received, goes on.

If you just started to make measurements and the first cycle turned out to be anovulatory, do not worry, but it's better to continue measuring. One or two cycles a year without the release of the egg - this is quite normal, but if it is not for several months in a row, it requires compulsory medical advice. In this case, the interpretation of the basal temperature schedule should be combined with other studies: hormone analysis, ultrasound, manual palpation of the pelvic organs.
