How much does temperature increase in early pregnancy?
Was tracking my BBT and it has stayed slightly up for some days now. Body feels a bit warm also. By how much does it normally go up in the start? just curious.
Hey, don't stress too much about tracking every single point on the thermometer, yaar. It usually just goes up by less than a degree, like from 98 to 98.6 or so. Just relax and let things happen naturally!
I tracked my BBT on an app daily, and there was a clear rise of about 0.5 to 1 degree Fahrenheit after ovulation that stayed high. If your temperature goes above 100.4, then it's a fever and not just pregnancy warmth, so keep an eye on that.
Haan, thoda sa warm feel hota hai body mein starting weeks mein. Mera temperature bhi normal se thoda high rehta tha, like 99 degree ke aas paas. Par agar fever jaisa lage toh seedha doctor se poochna, na.
Look, it's not a high fever, just a tiny bit of body warmth because of hormones. Your temperature might go up by a very small margin, like 0.5 degrees. Don't sit and measure it every hour, just chill.
I'm currently trying to track my basal body temperature for planning. How much of an increase should I actually look for to know if it's a positive sign?
For me, it went up just a tiny bit, maybe around 99 degrees, and it stayed like that for the first few weeks. It's just the progesterone doing its job to support the pregnancy, so nothing to worry about!
In my experience, my body just felt slightly warm and cozy in the early weeks, like a very mild flush. I didn't measure it with a thermometer, but physically I could definitely feel that my baseline temperature had slightly gone up.
Welcome to the group dear! Yes, a slight increase is very common because of increased metabolism and blood flow. Usually, it's just a fraction of a degree, so you won't even need any medicine. Just stay hydrated!
Honestly, between managing work and home, I didn't have time to track decimal points. It just feels like a minor warm flush, nothing major. If you feel actual feverish chills, call your doctor instead of guessing.
