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.

I just wanted to let you know that I had an elevated temp at about four weeks pregnant, but the hpts came out negative. I went to the doctor because of the elevated temps and extreme tiredness and he gave me a pregnancy test and that test was negative too. He said I just had a little virus or something. Well one week later I still had the elevated temp and the tiredness, so on a whim I took another pregnancy test and it was positive. Give yourself another week and test again if your period still hasn't come, use the first morning urine, and see what happens. You may be surprised, you might be having other symptoms as well.
