Temp rise this morn and now fever...

Hey ladies, I took my temp this morning like always and my temp dropped from 98.6 to 98.1 and I was so curious as to what my temp would be like right now, hoping it would have gone back up to confirm a implantation dip and it was 99.1 with the BBT therometer and also with a regular therometer and I re-took it again 5 minutes later with the BBT one and it said 99.4. So this means I have a slight fever. I am not sick at all. Haven't had a cold in years. I felt a little nauseous a bit ago but it was for a brief time.


I wanted to check my temp to see if it had gone up. I was hoping it did and would stay up when I checked tomorrow to confirm a dip. What do you think this means? Will you think it will stay up tomorrow or if it goes down do you think it will be higher then today's 98.1 to confirm dip???


I'm so much more anxious now then ever. I took a hpt and got a - today and if it was a dip how long does it take to show HCG???


Totally getting my hopes up here and my DH and I are very excited, ahhh, could this be, please let this be it!!!


Advice, please anyone give me what you know!


Thanks and much love and baby dust to you ladies!

Checking your temp during the day to try and see what goes on with your basal body temp is not accurate at all. As you are awake your body is burning energy raising your temp, so this is inaccurate.
Basal body temperature is the lowest temperature attained by the body during rest (usually during sleep). It is generally measured immediately after awakening and before any physical activity has been undertaken, although the temperature measured at that time is somewhat higher than the true basal body temperature. In women, ovulation causes an increase of one-half to one degree Fahrenheit (one-quarter to one-half degree Celsius) in basal body temperature (BBT); monitoring of BBTs is one way of estimating the day of ovulation. The tendency of a woman to have lower temperatures before ovulation, and higher temperatures afterwards, is known as a biphasic pattern. Charting of this pattern may be used as a component of fertility awareness
