Temperature regulation in women: Effects of the menstrual cycle
Open accessAbstract
Core body temperature changes across the ovulatory menstrual cycle, such that it is 0.3°C to 0.7°C higher in the post-ovulatory luteal phase when progesterone is high compared with the pre-ovulatory follicular phase. This temperature difference, which is most evident during sleep or immediately upon waking before any activity, is used by women as a retrospective indicator of an ovulatory cycle. Here, we review both historical and current literature aimed at characterizing changes in core body temperature across the menstrual cycle, considering the assessment of the circadian rhythm of core body temperature and thermoregulatory responses to challenges, including heat and cold exposure, exercise, and fever. We discuss potential mechanisms for the thermogenic effect of progesterone and the temperature-lowering effect of estrogen, and discuss effects on body temperature of exogenous formulations of these hormones as contained in oral contraceptives. We review new wearable temperature sensors aimed at tracking daily temperature changes of women across multiple menstrual cycles and highlight the need for future research on the validity and reliability of these devices. Despite the change in core body temperature across the menstrual cycle being so well identified, there remain gaps in our current understanding, particularly about the underlying mechanisms and microcircuitry involved in the temperature changes.
Overview
AI snapshot
Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This review synthesizes historical and current evidence that core body temperature is higher in the luteal phase than the follicular phase and that thermoregulatory thresholds shift upward with high progesterone. It also highlights unresolved mechanisms, limited data on fever across the cycle, and the need for independent validation of wearable temperature-tracking devices.
Key findings
- Resting/basal core body temperature is 0.3°C to 0.7°C higher in the luteal phase than the follicular phase, and most 24-h studies show an increased mesor and a blunted nocturnal decline/amplitude in the luteal phase.
- Controlled constant-routine and ultradian nap studies generally find no change in circadian phase of core body temperature between follicular and luteal phases, though some semi-controlled studies report phase delays.
- Progesterone has a thermogenic effect, estrogen has a temperature-lowering effect, and the progesterone:estrogen ratio—rather than progesterone alone—may be critical for the luteal-phase core body temperature increase and blunted amplitude.
- Wearable devices show promise for tracking ovulatory cycles, but the review notes that independent validation against gold standards is still needed; one wrist-skin study detected a pre-ovulatory temperature nadir in only 41% of cycles.
Methods
- Narrative literature review using PubMed and Google Scholar searches for English-language, peer-reviewed clinical and experimental studies on the menstrual cycle and body temperature.
- Search terms included circadian rhythm, progesterone, estrogen/estradiol, luteal phase, follicular phase, ovulation, vasodilation, hypothalamus, oral contraceptives, exercise, heating, heat, fever, cooling, cold, and wearable sensors.
- The review summarizes studies in tables, including 24-h core body temperature studies across menstrual cycle phases and commercial wearable/app studies.
Limitations
- The authors state that mechanisms and microcircuitry underlying menstrual-cycle temperature changes remain incompletely understood, and that there are no data comparing fever patterns in women across menstrual cycle phases.
- The authors state that further independent evaluation of wearable validity and reliability is required, and they note a broader paucity of data from females in biological research.
- Evident from the text: this is a narrative review without a formal systematic-review or meta-analytic protocol; many included studies have small samples, varied measurement sites and protocols, and some rely on self-reported menstrual phase rather than confirmed ovulation.

“In contrast, Matsuda-Nakamura and colleagues [121] found that thermal perception did not differ between the luteal and follicular phases when young health women were exposed to a mildly cool environment.”
What the sources say
- Supportedcites [121] source
The Abstract reports that eight healthy young women were exposed to 23.5 °C and that thermal sensation and pleasantness did not differ between the follicular and luteal phases. The Conclusions likewise state that thermal perception was not affected by menstrual-cycle phase under these experimental conditions. (LLM, conf=0.94)

In the paper
“Estrogen promotes vasodilation in part by stimulating nitric oxide (NO) and prostacyclin synthesis, and inhibits vasoconstriction by decreasing the production of vasoconstrictors like cyclooxygenase-derived products, angiotensin II, and endothelin-1 [171].”
What the sources say
- Supportedcites [171] source
The Arachidonic acid metabolites section says estrogen decreases synthesis of contractile COX metabolites. The Angiotensin II section reports reduced Ang II formation with estrogen replacement, and the Endothelin section reports inhibited ET-1 synthesis. The Conclusions figure summarizes these effects as decreased release or action of vasoconstrictors. (LLM, conf=0.92)

“There is growing evidence from Rance and colleagues [169] showing that estradiol can also affect central thermoregulatory pathways via actions on a group of estrogen-sensitive arcuate neurons that co-express kisspeptin, neurokinin B, and dynorphin (KNDy neurons) involved in the regulation of GnRH secretion.”
What the sources say
- Supportedcites [169] source
The Introduction identifies KNDy neurons as estrogen-responsive arcuate neurons that co-express kisspeptin, neurokinin B, and dynorphin. Section 3 links them to estrogen feedback on GnRH activity, while section 6.3 reports that they participate in estradiol’s modulation of body temperature in rats.

The effects of exogenous progesterone and estrogen administration on core body temperature reflect the effects of endogenous progesterone and estrogen across the natural menstrual cycle.
“These findings are supported by studies that have investigated the direct effects of exogenous hormone administration on core body temperature, to determine the separate and combined effects of progesterone and estrogen.”
The paper relies on this without support.
Findings from animal studies on progesterone's central thermoregulatory actions generalize to women.
“There are several lines of evidence supporting a direct effect of progesterone on the preoptic area of the hypothalamus to inhibit heat loss mechanisms (i.e., raise the set point at which behavioral and autonomic thermoeffector pathways are activated) and/or increase heat production.”
The paper relies on this without support.
Shifts in thermoeffector thresholds indicate a change in the regulated set point for core body temperature.
“If core body temperature is regulated at a higher operating point during the luteal phase, one would expect to find shifts in the thresholds for heat- and cold-defense effector mechanisms across the menstrual cycle.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
