A member asked:

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Higher temp on BC: It is possible for the birth control pill to raise your body temperature. Higher temperature is more likely to be seen within the last 2 weeks of the pack. See your doctor if you are feeling sick. A physical exam, blood test can tell your doctor if the higher temperature needs further testing.
