Indlela i-thermometer yokuzala esiza ngayo nge-BBT nokuvimbela ukukhulelwa

Uma wake wazizwa sengathi ukuqonda imijikelezo yomzimba wakho kunzima, awuwedwa. Lapho ithomometha yokuzala ingasiza khona. Noma ngabe uzama ukukhulelwa noma ufuna indlela yemvelo yokugwema ukukhulelwa, lesi sitshalo esincane singakunikeza imibono oyidingayo. Ngokulandela i-basal body temperature (BBT) yakho, ungabona izinguquko kumjikelezo wakho ezikutshelayo ukuthi nini lapho ukhiqiza kakhulu. Futhi iqiniso liwukuthi, kulula kakhulu kunokuzwakala uma usuvele ujwayele ukukwenza.

Ukusebenzisa ithomometha ye-basal body temperature akukhona nje ngokuphenya izinombolo—kumayelana nokuxhumana nomzimba wakho nokuqonda ukuthi yini eyenzekayo ngaphakathi. Lesi sihloko sichaza ngokujulile ukuthi lezi zinto zokukala zisebenza kanjani nokuthi zingakusiza kanjani ufinyelele izinhloso zakho zokuzala, kungaba yini na lezo.

Iyini Ithomometha Yokuzala Futhi Iyini Eyenza Ikhetheke?

Ithomometha yokuzala ayifani nethomometha yakho evamile yokukala umkhuhlane. Yebo, womabili akala izinga lokushisa, kodwa ithomometha yokuzala yakhelwe ukuba nembile kakhulu. Ilinganisa izinga lokushisa lomzimba eliyisisekelo, okungelona eliphansi kakhulu umzimba wakho uma uphumule ngokuphelele—imvamisa ngemuva nje kokuvuka.

Isizathu sokuthi inembe kangaka? Ngokungafani namathomometha ajwayelekile, agaxa inombolo iye kufraction yeshumi le-degree, ithomometha ye-basal body temperature ilinganisa kuze kufike kufraction yeshumi nambili le-degree. Lokho kubalulekile ngoba izinguquko ku-BBT yakho zincane kakhulu. Sikhuluma ngezingxenye ezincane kakhulu ze-degree lapha.

Lezi zinguquko ezincane zenzeka ngenxa yama-hormone. Ngemva kokukhishwa kweqanda, umzimba wakho ukhipha i-progesterone eningi, okwenza i-BBT yakho ikhuphuke kancane. Lokho kukhuphuka? Kuyisibonakaliso sokuthi ukukhishwa kweqanda kwenzekile [1]. Uma uzama ukukhulelwa, lolu lwazi luyigugu—lukusiza ukuthi uthole ukuthi nini lapho ukhiqiza kakhulu.

Isebenza Kanjani Ngempela I-BBT Tracking?

Pho, usebenzisa kanjani ithomometha ye-bbt? Kulula kakhulu, kodwa kudinga ukuba njalo. Njalo ekuseni, ngaphambi kokwenza yini—ngempela, ungavuki uhlezi embhedeni—ulinganisa izinga lokushisa lakho. Kubalulekile ukukwenza ngesikhathi esifanayo nsuku zonke.

Uma ulandela i-BBT yakho emijikelezweni eminingana, uzoqala ukubona amaphethini. Ngaphambi kokukhishwa kweqanda, izinga lokushisa lakho lihlala lizinzile kakhulu. Ezinye izifazane ziyaqaphela ukwehla okuncane ngaphambi nje kokukhishwa kweqanda, kodwa akuhlali kwenzeka. Ngemva kokukhishwa kweqanda, izinga lokushisa lakho liyakhuphuka kancane, ngokuvamile cishe ngo-0.5°F kuya ku-1°F, bese lihlala liphezulu kuze kube isikhathi sakho esilandelayo [2].

Leli phethini likusiza ukubona kahle ukuthi ukuvuthwa kweqanda kwenzeka nini. Izinsuku zakho ozala kakhulu yilezo ezimbalwa eziholela ekuvuthweni kweqanda ngoba isidoda singahlala emzimbeni wakho kuze kufike ezinsukwini ezinhlanu, kodwa iqanda lona lihlala cishe amahora angu-24 kuphela.
