In order to investigate the frequency of ovulation signs and symptoms in young Korean females, change in basal body temperature and several well-known ovulation signs and symptoms were observed in 94 nursing students of Kae-Jung Junior College of Nursing for 3 months from September, 1988.
Frequency of several ovulation signs and symptoms on the basis of basal body temperature change was evaluated, and the results are as follows.
1. Average menstrual cycle was 30.65 days in regular cycles, and 48.9% of the nursing students had regular cycles.
2. Generally, the basal body temperature measured 15 days before the menstruation was the lowest. The menstrual cycles could be divided into two phases according to the basal body temperature: pre-ovulatory low temperature phase and post-ovulatory high temperature phase.
3. Among the signs and symptoms, "change in cervical nucous secretion" was most frequently observed (61.7%). Frequency of other important signs and symptoms was in order of "change in libido (19.1%)", "accident and mistake (16.0%)", "mittelschmerz (12.8%)", and "kleine-regel (3.2%)".
