My temp when af gets here is normally 97.3 and around that. Now it is 97.7. I know that af temps can be crazy, but today now that af is gone it went up to 97.8. should I be worried about it? should I test agian? I have had a normal af. I dont think im pg. thats a long shot. but is this normal for temps to change all of a sudden? they have not gone below coverline sense af. should I be worried? should I test? I dont want to waste any tests. I am saving the 2 I have left for next month. Any ideas? TIA

I don't really have an explanation, but I've been having weird temps too this month - generally higher than they have been the past few cycles. I'm blaming it on the fact that we have the heat on in our house now as the weather has cooled off. I don't know if you have any similar factors that could affect you. I would be interested to hear any input from others too.

It's pretty normal to have higher temps during af..I always do, then they dip after af is over and before O, then go back up after O. It's because it can take a while to get the progesterone out of your system, and then estrogen takes over and temps usually lower a bit. Temp patterns can vary from cycle to cycle, even if it never happened before. It isn't anything to worry about, just normal. The 97.8 isn't too much of a stretch form the 97.7 temps you had during af last cycle.

Make sure you start a new chart with the first day you started AF.

Good luck this month!
