Temps will be mildly elevated for several reasons. Persistent corpus luteum is one, but then you shouldn't have had a normal period 5 days ago. Pregnancy is another reason, but then again you shouldn't have had a normal period. NOTE in both cases, I said shouldn't not wouldn't. It other words it could still be either of those. You could be have a little prodrome to the flu. Many things could cause this. So you should see your physician tomorrow morning to check these things out. Call him/her first and explain.
