Fever and pregnancy: It is never "normal" to have an elevated temperature, and certainly not in pregnancy. Low grade is defined as 100 degrees or a little less,  and may be due to a urinary tract infection, so it is best to investigate: see your healthcare provider to be certain, and do not delay.

Low : Low grade fever can be a sign of early pregnancy. Not everyone experiences this, so to answer your question, yes you can be pregnant and not have a low grade fever.

Also you can take an early prediction test at this point.
Good luck.
