Freaking out! How high should temps be?
| Thu, 08-07-2003 - 10:02am |
First off, I should say that I don't really temp -- at least not properly. I don't have the right thermometer and I don't do it at the same time every day. That probably makes any results invalid, but a temp is a temp, right?
I should be excited that my temps are high and I have other symptoms (nausea and cramping -- although both have eased off today) but now I'm paranoid that I'm not pregnant and I'm sick instead!!
Could I be more obsessed with my body???
Anyway, how high should or does a "high" temp go? I just took mine and it's 99.3. Yesterday it was right on normal. MY normal is lower -- usually in the high 97s, which is where it was during AF and before O.
Help!! Going crazy!!! Except for feeling hot from the inside out, I feel just fine!

For example, I take my temps everyday (even on the weekends, I just roll back over and fall back to sleep) at 5:30am. When I first started taking my temps I wanted to see just how big a difference was a difference, so I took it at 5:30am and then again at 5:30 pm. This is what I noticed. My temps in the morning ranged from 97.0-97.7 pre O time, but the 5:30pm temp was the same 98.6 everyday. I only did this for about 4-5 days. Anywho............What I am getting at is this...........Making sure you take yor temp close to the same time everyday does make a difference and a temp is not a temp unless you do.
Anyway, that is my 2cents worth.
GL to you and keep us posted.
Seriously, a low grade fever is REALLY unusual for me because, as I said, my normal can be as low as 97.0. It always has been -- all my life. And aside from the nausea and cramping over the last two days I feel totally fine...a little hot, but fine.
I'm only at 9dpo so I have a few days to go before I can end the suspense. And the suspense is trying it's darndest to kill me! LOL!
Thanks again!!

My temps are higher than normal too, with a bit of a headache- though I do have a cold(I'm trying to ignore that part-lol!)
I'm game if you are!

It would be cool if we both had good news! Thanks for offering to be buddies with me. It's nice to have the support, especially since this is my first time!
Thanks again Tara!

I guess at 8dpo you haven't tried it yet, but let me know what you think if it when you do -- I'm curious!
Good luck!!

You could go to the FF Chart Gallery to see a bunch of different charts and the ranges that temps seem to fall in...it can be pretty different for different people.
Good Luck!
