I'm 3dpo and my beautiful temps seem to have been the onset of a fever that's worsened throughout the day.

Even 45mins after paracetemol it's at 38C right now!

I'm so uncomfortable I can't sleep, have been awake for 2hrs, and now worrying that it will kill my egg... :(

thank you, it went back down overnight and this morning but is now back up to 38.0C again so hoping paracetamol works soon!

don't feel as bad as I did last night but just feeling sorry for myself and for DS who seems to be suffering too

Rainbow, how high did your temp get? Was it at/over 39 C? :HH: Sorry you're dealing w/this right now.

I don't know if it got that high as I was busy trying to get back to sleep and battled on for an hour before getting up to get painkillers, I don't think it was quite as high as that, though. I think mid-38s was probably as high as it got. Even so far today it hasn't gone above 38.

hmm just found this: Fever in Pregnancy | Fruit of the Womb | Healthline (http://www.healthline.com/health-blogs/fruit-womb/fever-pregnancy)


Modest elevations in temperature prior to implantation and more sustained elevations during early embryogenesis may cause fetal death and abortion. Embryos surviving maternal hyperthermia during early development are at risk for a host of congenital anomalies, including neural tube and central nervous system (CNS), micrencephaly, microphthalmia, cataracts, craniofacial, heart, renal, dental, and abdominal wall defects among others.

I should stop Googling!

Rainbow~ so weird I just saw this. I posted the other night after O (like 2po) that I had a fever of 99 and was wondering if this would hurt my chances. Hobber told me it wouln't and for you it didn't!! I've also been thirsty thirsty thirsty! No matter how much water I drink. Did that happen to you?
