A member asked:

Can crinone 8% gel raise your basal body temperature (i have been taking crinone since 2 days post ovulation and charting my bbt)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Crinone ?'s: Crinone is progesterone, and primarily used for infertility issues in women with inadequate ovarian progesterone. Progesterone may slightly raise the basal body temperature, similar to the rise in temperature which occurs with ovulation.
