BBT while pregnant

Brittany

Hi everyone - I am sort of freaking out.. I found out I was pregnant last Friday and I’m continuing with my bbt (out of habit).

Yesterday my bbt went really high to 99.09 and today it dropped to 98.68. Is this normal for the fluctuation? I have no ongoing cramping or spotting/bleeding. Pregnancy test is still showing as positive. My temp is still pretty high but just getting nervous 😞

You need to stop temping. Your temps don't mean anything at this point and it's clearly only causing you additional stress. There is no need to temp any longer so pack up your thermometer and enjoy your pregnancy hun! Congrats!

Thanks! I know - I’ve just been taking it out of habit. Thinking I’m going to stop now because if I hadn’t seen that drop I wouldn’t be worried right now. I go for my first scan next Friday so just going to try and stay calm until then. It’s my first pregnancy so not sure what to expect.

This is exactly why they say to stop temping after a positive. Stop now and enjoy your pregnancy.

I didn’t know that. My app almost encourages it saying if you have a high temp 16dpo and later that it could be a sign of pregnancy. I will stop now that I know though! Thanks!
