Specializes in Internal Medicine

Yes: In a study of 148 healthy subjects and 700 temperature readings, oral temperature ranged from 96.(35.6°C )to 100.8F(38.2°C) with a mean of 98.2 +/- 0.7F(36.8 ± 0.4°C) Oral temp can be lower the two weeks prior to ovulation. Hypothermia, or low body temperature, is defined as 95F or less.
