>>I was just wondering if ALL pregnant women experience that third level of temperatures or not? Also, how much does your temperature have to go up in order for it to be considered another level. Thanks. This info is from Toni Wecshler's book, Taking charge of your Fertility: Page 142: "If you notice a third level of temperatures beyond the typical biphasic pattern you experience every cycle, you are almost certainly pregnant. This third level of high temperatures is thought to be due to the extra progesterone circulating in pregnant women. (Unfortunately, not all women experience such a clear-cut triphasic pattern)." She goes on to say, "While there is apparently no discussion of this phenomenon in the medical literature, my professional experience is that this triphasic pattern seems to occur in most pregnant women who chart." Page 281. She does not state any numerical range for the third temp shift. Harvey S. Marchbein, M.D. wrote: I know of biphasic (as opposed to monophasic) temperature charting but I'm willing to learn. Do you have a good basal thermometer, Dr. Marchbein? I hear digital thermometers work the best! ;-) Hope this helped. Heather
