Temp still above cover line CD4!?!

[True Blue]

Hi mommas well I am on CD4 AF is light but definitely AF but my temp has not dropped below cover line. It is still quite high.
I have a congested head cold which is getting better and I suspect a sinus infection which my body can fight without antibiotics - would this keep my temp elevated?

Thanks.

Yes it can raise your temps, plus it's not unheard of to have higher than normal temps duing and just after AF.

Hope you're feeling better!

Getting there slowly, thank you

Could definitely be the illness. But also, it's not uncommon for it to take a week for temps to drop below cover line. This current cycle is a weird one for me, Soy kept my temps even higher than normal and going off Vitex delayed O, but my coverline is usually around 98.0 and my temps don't typically drop below until around CD8. But some cycles they drop much faster.

Thanks Maiden I so hate any changes in my cycle they unnerve me!!

Mine usually drops the day AF starts. I hope O doesn't get knocked now too. Not going to worry about it or I will throw it off by worrying

I don't think my higher temps early on are related to delayed O. I'm sure it's the Vitex. I usually O around CD17-18 but the last time I went off Vitex I Oed on CD22 also. Whenever I start or stop Vitex, O is delayed for me.

Oh no I just mean from myself being sick

Feeling 80% today so should be ok. Temp is coming down but still post O range temp.

Oh, duh! Well, illness doesn't always delay O. Fx it isn't for you. I think it matters both how sick you are and when in your cycle. I hope you feel 100% tomorrow!

Thank you

Yes I think you're right if I was sick around O time that is much more likely to delay O - being sick during AF is probably ideal (lol )

[maidentomother]

Yup, that's my thinking!
