please, 1 more question on temps - Trying to Conceive (TTC) Message Board

One more question. I took my temp last night, and again this morning because I wasn't feeling very good and thought maybe I was sick or had a possible UTI (I've never had one, but I can't stop peeing!). Anyways, last night it was 98.6, and this morning it was 98.7. I have heard that if you are PG your temps are a little higher, but is this considered high? AF was/is due anywhere from yesterday (08/08) to Saturday (08/12). So far, no AF. I don't want to get my hopes up so I haven't taken a HPT, plus I have to pee so bad when I wake up that I really don't have time to mess with it (I've had to go at least once or twice a night, too, which is really rare for me. I'm usually like a camel - can go for hours and hours - sometimes 10 or more - without having to pee). Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

There is not a universally "high" temperature. Every woman is different. You will soon learn if this is high for you, if you take temps again next month.For me, personally, 98.7 is MUCH higher than my temps get. Mine have never been above 98.5.

It really is imperative that you take your temperature before rising in the morning. Getting up to pee can cause your temperature to be incorrect. You should take it at the same time (I set an alarm) and before stirring much or rising.

Good luck! I hope you get your BFP!!

HI!!
I have been doing my temp. charts for the last 21 months. If your temp. is still up I would go get a digital early pregnancey test. Good luck to you!!!!

Thanks for the info, guys! I went to urgent care today and found out that I have my first ever bladder infection, so that could explain why my temps were a little high. I am on CD32 right now - I chickened out about testing this morning, but still no AF, so hopefully I will test tomorrow morning. I'm not getting my hopes up, though. I think the sick feelings I've been having are just do to the infection. I guess I'll (hopefully) know soon enough!
