A member asked:
Is it okay to have a body temperature of 96.7? what does a lower body temperature usually indicate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, body temperature can slightly fluctuate. This fluctuation can also be related to your menstrual cycle. That temp is not concerning unless you have other symptoms or something else going on because a lot of the time depending on which thermometer you used and how it was measured it is not entirely accurate.
