Abstract
Purpose of investigation: To determine if changes in basal body temperature (BBT) during the ovuratory phase are related to subsequent effects on pregnancy. Methods: BBT records from 216 pregnant women in a spontaneous cycle or a clomiphene citrate cycle during a recent 6-year period were studied. The last day of low phase (LDLP) and the number of days until high phase (NDHP) were determined for all subjects. Results: In the spontaneous cycle group, medium-cycle cases were most frequent and long-cycle cases were most frequent in the clomiphene cycle group. The NDHP ranged between one and three days in 82.8% of the subjects in the spontaneous cycle group and in 86.1% of the subjects in the clomiphene cycle group. Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate the importance of properly evaluating an NDPH of two or even three days in a BBT-based assessment of ovarian function in the ovulatory phase.
