A member asked:
Im 4 days away til my period yesterday took basal temp it was 98.1 and today 97.9. could it be high because im about to start my period?

Yes: Your temperature has dropped from 98.1 to 97.9. That isn't a big drop but it could signal that your menstrual period will begin in the next few days. When you ovulate your basal temp will rise by .5 degrees. It will then drop .5 degrees just before your period begins. Best wishes!

Yes, low.: The drop in basal temp may mean you are going to have your period soon, since your basal temp is the lowest at that point.
