YOUR TEMP--low before ovulation; high afterwards

[Guest guest]

Check this out:

" A woman's preovulatory waking temperature typically range from 97.0

to 97.5 degrees Fahrenheit, with postovulatory temperatures rising

to about 97.6 to 98.6 degrees. After ovulation they will stay

elevated until her next period, about 12 to 16 days later. If she

were to become pregnant, they would remain high throughout her

pregnancy. Temperatures typically rise within a day or so after

ovulation, and are the result of the heat-inducing hormone

progesterone. The key is to look for a pattern of lows and highs…see

the whole. "

If the above is correct, perhaps the best time for women to check

their basal temp (to determine correct amount of thyroid meds) is

AFTER ovulation...

If this is correct, my basal temp isn't low after all. I did take it again the

same afternoon and it was still 97.2. I've been wanting to check it every

afternoon but I keep forgetting.

Hello loboshe,

That is definitely how it works for 'normal' women but in my

experience of taking temps when i was supposedly normal and not

hypothyroid, i found that my very low body temp did not react much to

ovulation - though cervical and mucous changes were evident.

I think i was a Hashis who finally burned out and that during my

20s/early 30s i managed to have my kids at just the right time to

conceive between Hashi flareups but even so my body temp was still

incredibly low.
