A Specific Pattern in the Basal Body Temperature Chart during the First Week of Pregnancy May Warn of a Miscarriage Crisis

Abstract

We studied the efficiency of acupuncture for patients who were unable to give birth though they had experienced conventional infertility treatment for more than 2 years by medical specialists. We then investigated characteristics of difficult pregnancy cases with measurement of body temperature and observation of basal body temperature (BBT) charts. Thirty-three patients had acupuncture every week for more than 2 years and 17 of them delivered. At the same time, their cutaneous body temperature was measured at five locations. Moreover, patients and acupuncturists had a weekly discussion of the patient's BBT chart. The delivery group showed more balanced and higher cutaneous body temperatures than the miscarriage and no pregnancy groups. The delivery group showed a smooth increase in the BBT chart while the miscarriage group showed a specific pattern in shifting temperatures from low to high zones. Acupuncture might suppress excess sympathetic dominance, which induced hyperthermia as well as interruption of pregnancy. Additionally, weekly discussion and medical advice could help patients. However, further study of males, healthy women, or larger, comparative studies exploring the social and cultural background of other countries were needed to add support to these factors.

Basal Body Temperature Difference Before and During The Endometrial Wall Decay on The Menstrual Cycle

“…Penelitian Mayumi mengenai pola spesifik suhu basal tubuh selama minggu pertama kehamilan pada pasien yang telah menjalani perawatan infertilitas konvensional selama dua tahun mengindikasikan keguguran, karakteristik kasus kehamilan yang sulit dengan pengukuran suhu tubuh dan pengamatan grafik suhu basal tubuh menunjukan suhu tubuh lebih seimbang dan peningkatan suhu lebih tinggi pada kelompok yang mengalami keguguran. Pengamatan siklus suhu basal tubuh yang sederhana, mudah dan praktis sangat membantu pasien dan dokter meningkatkan manajemen diri efisiensi pengobatan selama kehamilan dan persalinan (19).…”

Real Time Analysis of Biphasic Temperature Pattern of BBT Using NiMn2O4 Nanocomposite Thermistor

“…8,11 The lowest temperature attained usually when the body is at rest is referred as Basal Body Temperature (BBT). 12 During the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, BBT reaches its lowest point approximately 1 d before ovulation due to higher levels of estrogen, after ovulation, higher levels of progesterone released by the corpus luteum BBT rises sharply after ovulation to about 0.5 to 1 °C throughout the luteal phase, this phenomenon is termed as Biphasic Temperature Pattern. [13][14][15] NiMn 2 O 4 ceramic material has a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) of resistivity and a broad spectral response range due to its Mn-Ni-O spinelstructure which has found applications in thermal sensitive device applications.…”

“…18,19 The real time accurate estimation of ovulation, as an indicator, helps to achieve or avoid pregnancy naturally. 12,20,21 In this work, IoT enabled BBT monitoring system is designed using a NiMn 2 O 4 nanocomposite powder synthesized by modified wet chemical method. The sensing system was employed to monitor the biphasic temperature pattern of BBT graph that can predict the ovulation period in women.…”
