What should the basal body temperature be when you're pregnant?

97.7-98.2 range: The average range of basal body temperature (BBT) range is 97.7-98.2 Fahrenheit. If your BBT rises above 100.4, then notify your obstetrical medical provider. Hope that helps.

Same: It should be basically the same as when not pregnant. People forget that temp is a range not a single number, so there isn't one "correct" temp. You will hear that progesterone has a mild effect on tem, which is true, but there is no adjusted normal for pregnant vs. non-pregnant. Under 100.4 is universally considered normal.

Temperature varies: There's no single temperature for everyone to reach- the basal body temp varies from person to person. We do not normally used basal body temperature to determine if someone is pregnant. If you have been charting your temperatures for the past 2-3 months, you may see there are changes with ovulation, and perhaps other changes if you are pregnant.
