Can Fever Affect Basal Temp Reading? Posted: 10-10-05 21:47pm


Hi! Anyone could help me. I am having flu and slight fever and am charting my basal temp for the first time in my life. Today I am on day 13 of my cycle and since yesterday I am having very slight fever. I also realised my basal temp has rised today compared to yesterday's reading taken at around the same time. I saw a family doc for flu medicine last night and took a dose last night. Felt better after an hour of sleep/rest. I also had sex twice with my husband last night. This morning feeling alittle better but just lethargic/alittle weak. So I was wondering whether I am going to ovulate or is it the slight fever causing the rise in the basal temp? I am on a 32 day cycle and my last period was 29 september. So what are my chances of becoming pregnant? What should I do? Continue sex everyday or what?? Pls provide tips and ideas... I really want my baby nos. 1 to arrive soon. Thanks in advance!

In the package I got with my thermometer (sp) said that indeed a fever can effect it.

Yes Fever Affects... Posted: 10-12-05 22:02pm


I realised that fever affects the basal temp after reading through some websites. Yesterday I had no fever and my basal temp was back to normal. When ur cervics muscus is wet, does it mean u r fertile at that moment? Can u muscus be wet one day and the next day dry... Is it normal?
