Breast skin temperature rhythms in relation to ovulation.

D W Wilson, K Griffiths, F Halberg

    Chronobiologia
    |July 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Monitoring breast skin temperature can help identify the fertile window. A peri-ovulatory rise in temperature, detectable within 24 hours, may signal the start of the infertile phase of the menstrual cycle.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Chronobiology
    • Women's Health

    Background:

    • Breast skin temperature exhibits circadian rhythms.
    • Monitoring these rhythms can provide insights into reproductive physiology.
    • Understanding temperature fluctuations is key to fertility awareness.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To mathematically characterize circadian breast skin temperature rhythms.
    • To assess rhythm parameters in relation to ovulation.
    • To evaluate the potential of temperature monitoring for fertility signalling.

    Main Methods:

    • Continuous breast skin temperature monitoring (manual and automatic chronobra).
    • Data collected at 30-min intervals throughout wake-span.
    • Mathematical characterization of circadian rhythms and statistical analysis.

    Main Results:

    • A peri-ovulatory rise in breast skin temperature was observed.
    • This temperature increase may be detectable within 24 hours.
    • The chronobra system showed potential for fertility phase signalling.

    Conclusions:

    • Breast skin temperature monitoring offers a method for tracking menstrual cycle phases.
    • The chronobra system and associated statistics may aid in identifying the infertile phase.
    • This technology could enhance fertility awareness and family planning.
