A member asked:

Before ovulation my temp is in the low 97.0 after ovulation they are in the high 97.0 never go over 98.0 is that bad?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: The expected temperature rise from ovulation is about 1/2 of a degree. So if your baseline is 97.0 you shouldn't expect a rise over 98. Best wishes!
