A member asked:
Is a fever or higher body temperature a early pregnancy symptom?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Fever (defined as 100.4 f) or any elevated temperature is not a reliable predictor of pregnancy before a missed period or a positive pregnancy test. Later in pregnancy Progesterone may have a very slight thermiogenic effect (raising temperature) but this is not helpful before the next missed period.
