Temp fluctuations?
| Thu, 09-04-2003 - 10:18am |
I should really hide my thermometer from myself during the day. LOL! The last 6 days I've been aroun 97.0 - 97.3 and anywhere in between. That's above my coverline of just under 97.0. Maybe 96.95? Last night, after a good bit of activity an hour before. I laid down in bed for 15 minuted then took my temperature. It was 96.86! That's considerably lower than I had been in the mornings when I wake up. Is it possible to have a temp during the day that is actually LOWER than the BBT???
It was back up to normal... I think... this morning.

It is difficult to say what the difference between your day and nite temps should be. IF you are in a cooler environment and sleep in a warmer env. then you might have warmer BBT than daytime temps. As long as your BBT temps are done consistently, I wouldn't worry about the odd daytime temp. Just keep to your routine and only consider temps that are taken in the routine. I think they typically expect day temps to be higher due to activity, but other factors could certainly be at work.
Hope this helps!
