temp. question

just a question about temperatures. do you have to be above normal (whatever the normal body temperature is, i don't know what it is) or just above what you normally ARE.

i've basically given up on the whole being pregnant thing. i still feel like it, but who knows. the bleeding last week seemed to much to be implantation, DEFINITELY not enough to be AF, but who knows. i'm just pissed off and really irratible and i don't want to deal with it.

but anyway, my normal body temp is about 85, lower than average, and i took my temp the other day in the morning and it was 88. mean something? probably not, but hey--it's worth asking, right?

Im so sorry you are going through this. Are you temping before you get up in the mornings?

Usually you will have low temps during af and after O they will rise to a second level and stay there tell af shows. Is you are pregnant they will stay high. Do you chart? If so can we see it? Heres a example its my charts

this will kind of show you, Last month I had a chemical pg and as you can see my temps never did drop below the coverline.I think its common after mcs.

Hm, no, it was maybe an hour or so after i got up. i'll start righting down my temps tomorrow morning i guess...im supposed to go back to planned parenthood on wednesday for a full pelvic exam because they said it might be ectopic pregnancy but i have a therapy appointment at the same time, and i CANNOT cancel my therapy appointments they're hella hard to get...hmph. i wish there was something i could do to feel better but i'm just super down and everything i do, i realize i don't want to do it. like watching TV or going for a drive or shopping... i'm just soooo...idk. and with the whole "maybe i'm pregnant, maybe i'm not" thing over my head it's just not helping :(
