High body temp? - Trying to Conceive (TTC) Message Board

Hi everyone! I think that I Oed this month someh where around the 14th or 15th. My question is would you have a higher body temp this early if you were pg? Im on cycle day 23. I havent started bbt yet, but I took my temp today after laying down for a while not feeling well with a headache and it was 99.22(my normal body temp is around 97.6-98.2 usually). Ive had a headache for the past two evenings as well..I also had some slight cramping on sat that felt like AF but lasted only 1/2 hr. I dont know if any of this means anything to anyone? Any ideas..maybe just a flu bug?

Hi puppylove! Laying down for a while isn't good enough to get a real BBT. Your body actually has to be sleeping for at least 4 hours to get a reliable temp. BUT, that doesn't mean you aren't pregnant, with the symptoms you described. When can you test, another 3 or 4 days? Right before I got my BFP, I felt so sick, like I had the flu!

Thanks for the info! Conrats on ur BFP! I prob wont test untill around the 29 th if I havent gotten my period yet. I have irregular cycles so by then I will be on cycle day 33...Last month I got my period on cycle day 32.. The waiting is brutal!!! I plan to start BBT next month so hopefully that will help me out a little!

Temping was so interesting fo rme, even thought I only did it for 1 month. I loved knowing the days that things were changing. I also always had a high temp, usually 98.3-99.0.

Did you find it easy to test? I bought the Basal Body Therm. and I have tried to use it a few times in the past but I usually get up atleast once in the middle of the night, so I wonder how accurate they will be? I also tried OPK's and they always seemed to look positive. I found later that the test line was the slightest bit lighter and that prob ment it was a neg. I was also told by my docs throught charting my cycles that I wasn't ovulating so there could be a connection as to why they wern't positive! Hoping that I ovulated this month tho!
