Question 1

should your bbt  remain high all day if pregnant? i wake up with high temps and then later it is low.

Accepted Answer

Take a test: Body temperature is not a reliable way to determine pregnancy. If you think you might be pregnant check then check a home pregnancy test.  If your temperature changes were related to pregnancy then this implies that your hormone level is high enough for detection.

Question 2

6wks pregnant. for the last week i've had a mild temp of 99.5-100.1 i have no other symptoms besides typical pregnancy ones. please help! scared?

Accepted Answer

Not a fever: You don't have a fever, so I wouldn't be too concerned.  A fever is a temp of 100.5 or above.  The temps you have could just be elevated body temp.

Question 3

how much is your temp supposed to rise when u get pregnant?i'm charting bbt and pd is 4 days late and temp has stayed at 98.3f, hasn't dropped.preg?

Accepted Answer

Ignore temp: if you are 4 days late on a period do a home pregnancy test, it's reliable.

Question 4

wondering if i am pregnant with my basal temp at 98?

Accepted Answer

Recommend : Determining pregnancy status by taking a home pregnancy test. Using temperature is often  not accurate.

Question 5

im pregnant with a temp of 96.6 i have a cold, is this okay?

Accepted Answer

Sure: You won't have damage due to a 96.6 degree temp! it's not a fever.  The cold is a drag but happens all the time pregnant or not, won't affect pregnancy.

Question 6

my temp is 96.2 is that considered fever i'm32 weeks pregnant?

Accepted Answer

No.: Fever is generally considered 100.5 and above.

Question 7

i had ovidrel shot on 1/1/16. my bbt is now very high. does this indicate a pregnancy or is it the ovidrel causing my temp to rise?

Accepted Answer

Hard to determine: Neither pregnancy nor Ovidrel should be causing a very high fever. If you have a high fever then you should be evaluated by your doctor for infection. Ovulation can cause a very brief and very mild temperature spike. It should not be high. If you think you might be pregnant check then check a home pregnancy test. They are cheap, reliable and available  at any pharmacy.

Question 8

i do ovulate. i know this because i take my temp everyday and also use ovulation tests. still can't get pregnant after 1 year. what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

Many factors: There are many factors that need to occur for a pregnancy to take place.  Even if both you and your partner are perfectly healthy it can come down to timing.  Since it has been a year of trying without a pregnancy, I would recommend you and your partner follow up with a reproductive endocrinologist.  They will make sure the anatomy and hormones are in working order.

Question 9

my temp has been at 98 to 99 for over a week, i thought i was pregnant, but it's too soon to test. today my temp has been 97, could this mean i'm not?

Accepted Answer

Temperature: Might be a pregnancy indicator but it does not diagnose pregnancy.  A pregnancy test is the way to accurately determine if you are pregnant.

Question 10

what does a temp of 96.6 mean as far as pregnancy? do u think i am? my temp has been anywhere from 96.6 to 98 for about 2 days now and i was wanting to know if it could be a sign of pregnancy

Accepted Answer

Temperature : Temperature (increase or decrease) as an independent variable is not an indicator of pregnancy. More importantly a missed period is more reliable. If your period is late by at least a week  you should take a pregnancy test, otherwise you can take an early prediction pregnancy test one week before your period is due.
Good luck.
