UTI and BBT temps affected?

Question

Ok. So I found out I have an UTI (AGAIN!) and the doc put me on antibotics that would be ok in case I'm pregnant (only 4 dpo, so no worrieds there).

But I chart my BBT and I'm wondering how the UTI and antibotic will affect my temps. Do you think I'll have artifically high temps b/c my body is fighting off the infection and then drop back to normal when the antibotic kicks in?

What do you guys think? I don't want to get exicted about my BBT climbing post O in case its just the infection messing the temps up...

Here's my chart

Answer 1

Looks like you certainly ovulated yesterday! Not sure if the meds will rise your temps, but if you're only on them for a few daysit really won't make any difference anyway, because even if they go ski high, they'll be back to a normal post-Ovulatory levels before you would even be thinking of testing (or looking for a tri-phasic pattern) As long as you're off the meds by 8dpo then implantation most likely hasn't happened anyway. Good luck!

Answer 2

Seeing as your body usually produces a fever to help rid of infection, I'd imagine you're correct in assuming a spike would be caused by the antibiotics and infection. I wouldn't get too excited until you get BFP. Good luck and lots of baby dust!  

Answer 3

You always spike a fever every time you have an infection and so, the daily temp recording will be affected. I would recommend you resume next month after the infection has cleared and take a lot of water and cranberry juice
