Basal Body Temperature as a Means To Confirm Pregnancy?

I have been concerned that I am approximately four weeks pregnant, however, my hpts have come out negative.
My OB-GYN told me take my temperature every morning immediately upon waking up with a basal body thermometer and if it was over 98 degrees for a coupel of days, I was most likely prengant.
Is that correct? Can you explain to me the basal body temp.?
Also, can your temperature tell you if you are pregnant or not?
Any info would be helpful. Thanks.
