Is body temp a true sign of possible BFP?

[bfromthed]

I hear that the body temp rises when ou are pg...for the last few days I have been very cold..hands, feet, nose, even chils now and then...I am 12piui and had one BFN home preg test today my RE did not want me to test til Monday he wants me to go straight for the BETA???

I wish I knew the conversions right off.  But it's hard to say if your temps are high without knowing your temps before ovulation.  But if you know the conversion, my temps are normally in the range of 97.4 to 97.7 before ovulation and will go up to about 98.1 to 98.4 after ovulation.  If it got any higher than 98.4 about a week after ovulation I would start getting excited.  But those are my temps and everybody's different.  

But don't worry about not having signs of pregnancy. Lots of women get BFP's without symptoms. The truth is, you USUALLY don't get symptoms until the HCG is in your system since the HCG is usually what causes the symptoms.  And once the HCG is in your system you get a BFP (of course for some strange reason some women don't EVER get BFP's on urine tests but are still preggo).   Progesterone can cause symptoms also, that would explain why some of us get symptoms and end up with BFN's.  

So try to hang in there and I'll keep you in my prayers for a BFP.

SSBD!!

I have been keping track but me thermometer is in celcius...lol...I have to wait to convert it on the computer everyday...it starter on 9/29..36.7 at 530 am then 9/30 at was 36.9 and yesterday and today it has been 36.9 but I have been freezing cold...chills, hands, nose, feet no sore bbs or no other signs of pg??? I am not sure how the luteal fazes go eith I just know its neen lots of monitoring an that my IUI was on 9.20. I see some people can get a BFP 12dpiui and others dont???!!

They do have a basal thrmometer nut any thermometer would do. I just started with the temp thing since I had been reading so much about it....You are suppose to start with cycle dayone and cxontinue it rises during ovulation and then may dip if it starts to rise and stays up thats a good sign of pregnancy.

what woudl a normal temp be if you weren't preggo or does it matter depending on the person and you have to keep track of it. Do you do this with a normal thermometer or a special one? Just curious, the 2ww *****!!!

I would think that if you're 12piui now that by the time Monday comes wouldn't you kinda be past your normal luteal phase?  I don't know about IUI and the timing of the DPO's though so I don't know.  But I know me being a big peestickaholic would have busted out at least two pee sticks by now LOL.  But have you taken your temps?  I know sometimes I feel cold and my temps are surprisingly high.  

Good luck!
