I. Definition
The length of yang or luteal phase is about 12 -14
days and a third phase of the menstrual cycle according to traditional
Chinese medicine. It is the time when the egg is extruded into fallopian
tube, as liver transform yin energy to yang energy. At this phase,
blood and qi move down ward, the endometrial lining becomes softer to
prepare the implantation of the fertilized egg, if occurs.
In
conventional medicine, at this phrase corpus luteum starts to produce
progesterone that triggers the softening of endometrial lining for
fertilized egg implantation.
If in the yang energy is deficient, it will cause the drop of BBT temperature that affects the chance of fertility.

II. The yang deficiency Causes of Low BBT
A. General causes
1. Colding effect
Eating
cold foods for a prolonged period of time will cause kidney yang
deficiency. Cold foods are yin in nature, after entering the stomach,
our body needs to provide more yang to digest it that depletes the yang
qi.
2. Life style
Some people like to drink cold drink
after taking straight from the refrigerator, eat raw foods, swim in a
cold water, go out a lot in rainy weather or cold water,etc., they will
cause extra yang produced by the body to counter the affect of the cold.
3. Excessive exercise
Exercise
is considered healthy if you can do it properly and understand the
limitation of your physical body. Rigid exercise pushes you body over
limitation and consume, leading to kidney yang deficiency.
4. Frequently sexual activity
Frequently
sexual activity drains the kidney jing, leading to kidney jing and yang
deficiency that distort the normal function of kidney in regulating the
natural process of conception. In serve case, it may cause menstrual
disorder and infertility.
5. Aging
Aging is a
biological process that we can not stop, but delay it. While youth is
yang in nature, aging causes depletion of yang qi slowly.
B. Organs deficiency causes
1. Kidney yang deficiency
In
the first and second phrases, yang energy is subordinated if compares
with the yin. if kidney yang is deficient, it not only cause prolonged
or shorten yin phrase, but also interferes with liver function in
yin/yang transformation.
2. Spleen qi deficiency
Spleen is
important is transport qi and food essence to liver for blood storing
and blood formation, if for whatever reason ( mostly caused by intake of
cold and raw food over a prolonged period of time), the spleen yang qi
is deficiency, it will reduce the liver's function in warming the
uterus, leading to lower BBT.
3. Liver qi deficiency
Since
liver is impotant to transform the yin energy to yang energy in the
third phrase of menstrual cycle, if liver is damaged or qi deficiency,
it will cause the transformation dysfunction, leading to yang deficiency
and lower BBT in the phrase.
