What is the basal temperature before ovulation?

By Silvia Azaña Gutiérrez B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 01/31/2023

Generally speaking, the basal temperature before ovulation occurs can be around 35.5-36.7°C.

However, due to the physiological changes that take place in a woman's body throughout the menstrual cycle, once ovulation has occurred the basal temperature will rise by 0.3-0.5°C, due to the hormone progesterone.
