A member asked:

Help please. could a women's bmr naturally fluctuate at different stages of the menstrual cycle?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Reproductive hormones do affect your basal metabolic rate somewhat. More importantly, they can affect your basal temperature. That is why women can sometimes determine whether or not they ovulated by following their basal body temperature.
