Re: BBT & pregnancy

Michele, Your temp should go up on the day you ovulate and should stay up until the day before or the day of your next menstrual period. This is due to the increase in progesterone caused by ovulation. When your menstrual period starts, your progesterone level goes down and estrogen takes over, causing lower BBT. A great book that discusses all of this is "Taking Charge of your Fertility". It will really help you understand your body. I highly recommend it. Good Luck, Melissa

I was wondering if an increase in BBT during and after ovulation could be an indication of pregnancy? My temp increased last Mon (took an ovulation test & it was faint increasing in darkness to Thur being darkest and Fri line was gone) and this is now following Wed & my temp is still up and hasn't gone down to pre-ovulation temp. Is this normal for pregnancy or am I just over-analysing? I have never taken temps before and am not sure what to expect!

Thanks!
