Could a high temperature be a sign of pregnancy?

Question

Ive had unprotected s*x with my fiance for about 7 months now...The last 3 days or so my temperature has been between 99.3 and 99.9. Ive also been extremely tires and finding myself falling asleep randomly..also there has been some dizziness feelings and some slight cramping...my lower back and some of my upper back has also been hurting...and i just now notices my breast hurt a little when i push on them not bad but just a little bit. Oh and today i had a couple times felt like i was going to vomit..a little queasy but i didnt vomit. So i think thats about it..Now could these be symptoms of pregnancy or am i getting sick...

What do you guys think?

Answer 1

There are a number of reasons your why temp could be high.  If it's a hot day, that can make it rise, especially if you have been exercising.  It can also be a sign of pregnancy, but it also depends on what your regular body temperature is.  Anyone who has charted their body temp to see when they ovulate will notice that their temp will stay high for a bit if they are pregnant.  However, anything over 100 is considered a fever and you are pretty close to that with 99.9.  If your temp is going down a little bit everyday, then you might just be coming down from when your temp rose for ovulation.  (You could have ovulated late too, which could also account for a higher than usual temp.)  Or you could just be coming down with something.  It seems to be a little too soon for you to be feeling morning sickness, but everyone's body is different.

Yes, those could be signs of a flue, but they also could all be signs of pregnancy - except a fever.  However, now that I think of it -pregnant women are usually hot - maybe it's not quite a fever. :)  After all, it isn't that high.

You could definitely be getting symptoms already, though I never got them until the week after my period was due - except for blue veins on my b*****s.  I would wait until your period is due, and if it doesn't come, take a prego test.  Meanwhile, only take acetominophen for your fever & pain, as that is the only safe one for potential baby.

pregnancy symptoms occur around 4-6wks pregnant...so you may be wanting it so much you have convinced yourself you have the symptoms ...it happens believe me i have done it...however if you have been tracing your temp an it has risen after ovulation an stayed high then that is a good sign of pregnancy..good luck an best wishes..
