TL;DR
A woman's body temperature is related to her P:E2 ratio, and alterations of this ratio may influence negatively the postovulatory rise in body temperature.
Abstract
A woman's body temperature is related to her P:E2 ratio. Even in the presence of elevated P values, alterations of this ratio may influence negatively the postovulatory rise in body temperature.

The data indicate that the sensitivity of the human circadian pacemaker to light is far greater than previously recognized and have important implications for the therapeutic use of light in the management of disorders of circadian regulation.

It is shown that the demonstrated hypothermic properties of melatonin are accountable for the generation of at least 40% of the amplitude of the circadian BTc rhythm.

Unacceptably low sensitivity and/or specificity levels were found for the following tests: appearance of BBT charts, luteal phase length, and preovulatory follicle diameter and Timed endometrial biopsy was found to have marginally acceptable sensitivity and specificity levels.

Present data indicate that in LP, in association with high progesterone levels, an attenuated and phase-delayed circadian Tc rhythm may, in part, be due to a reduced effect of melatonin.
Fertility and SterilityThe Thermogenic Property of Progesterone
95 Citations1950S. Leon Israel, Oscar Schneller
The temperature-depressing effect of estrogen and the thermogenic property of progestogen were demonstrated in the 6 menstruating women and the opposed thermic effects of the ovarian steroids was studied in female castrates.

The final problem to be solved is not technologic but whether women are sufficiently motivated to expend the same time and effort each day for 10 days a month, with less cost, on fertility awareness as they spend on making a cup of tea.

Results indicate that, in addition to an increase in the mesor, there is a significant dampening of the temperature amplitude during the luteal (postovulatory) phase compared to the follicular (preovulatory" phase of the menstrual cycles.

There was a wide variation in time the commonest time for the rise in temperature which is associated with ovulation was 13 days before the onset of next menstruation.

Urine LH testing correlated well with the serum LH peak, particularly in the evening urine, and predicted ovulation in all patients, and neither the BBT nor cervical mucus was reliable in predicting ovulation.

78 Citations1984J. de Mouzon, J Testart +3 more
The basal body temperature curve and the estimated time of ovulation, defined by the onset of gonadotropin preovulatory discharge, were analyzed in 38 spontaneous cycles and were found to be an unreliable technique for precise ovulation timing but would be of use if the clinical precision required for the diagnosis of Ovulation were less.

Physiologic fluctuation of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), human-growth hormone (HGH), and progesterone concentrations in serum samples of women with ovulatory menstrual cycles were determined by radioimmunoassay and protein-binding assay.

Four points on the basal body temperature (BBT) curve have been correlated with the estimated time of ovulation (ETO), as determined by indirect hormonal parameters, in 74 menstrual cycles from 24 subjects, and in at least 5 of 74 cycles the BBT curve gave incorrect information on the ovulatory status of the cycle.

Pulsatile treatment is recommended in the treatment of welldiagnosed and carefully selected cases of incomplete IHH, as the pump proved to yield better results, compared with intermittent injections, in respect to endocrine responses, spermatogenesis, and fertility capacity.

While USS may be used to confirm follicular development, the Insler score is reliable and less costly.

It is suggested that a trial of induction of multiple follicular development be performed in couples with male-related or unexplained infertility before their inclusion in protocols for invasive procedures, such as IVF or gamete intrafallopian transfer.

52 Citations1983John J. McCarthy, Howard E. Rockette
The results indicate that the method that defines the temperature shift as 0.3 degrees F or more above the running low average for at least 3 consecutive days provides the best concurrent chart interpretation method.

It is concluded that the registration of a monophasic basal body temperature during a menstrual cycle does not give sufficient information for the conclusion that the cycle is anovulatory.

20 Citations1982R. G. D. Newill, Maurice Katz
The basal body temperature (BBT) charts in pregnancy cycles of 110 consecutive women who became pregnant by a single heterologous insemination were studied and the occurrence of ovulation was proved by the pregnancies in each case.

The use of basal body temperature recording and a single progesterone level at the time of the endometrial biopsy in the late luteal phase improved the ability to predict the onset of the next menstrual period and determine the postovulatory day (POD) in 124 regularly menstruating infertile women.
