Temp fluctuating up to 99.5

I was making dinner last night, and when I got everything in the oven I felt like complete ****. I went to the bathroom, then looked in the mirror and it looked as if I had put blush all over my face. I took my temp and it was between 99.5-99.7. I layed down on the couch and it went back down to low 99's to the hgih 98's. Then I got chilly and put on a blanket. I ended up not eating what I made, but later on I had a bowl of raisen bran. Then for my bedtime snack I had apples and peanut butter. Went to bed. This morning I got up and did my usual routine  - had breakfast with a mug of cocoa. My temp is fluctuating between 98.7 - 99.5. I just feel tired this morning but I'm also 5months pregnant...Just need some advice ladies...Thank You!

After I know about my pregnancy I noticed my body is always warm and temp in between 98.5- 98.9 and someday 99 & yes it doesn't matter how bad u feel they don't consider it fever if it is not touching 100 F. they keep saying your body is changing so it is normal to have diff temp. I know sometimes I also feel very feverish.
Good Luck

Not feeling bad, just tired. I've had an on and off cough - not constant, but DS has had it for over 2wks now (he's been to the peds office - fine, no fever, guess it's going around and taking up to 3wks to go away...). So I'm just linking my cough to his.
They told me to drink lots of fluids, which I knew but to take tylenol still...?
Just talked to my SIL - who's an ER doc, never thought that I'm getting my antibody response from the flu shot Friday...

I had this last weekend when I had a bug...it was fluctuating....but not high...I dont think they consider it a fever until you hit 100? not really sure, but after a couple of days mine went away. Maybe you have a 24-48 hour bug or something? how are you feeling today hun?

Just called my OB's office (they don't open 'till 9) and I told them my temp is fluctuating between 99 and 99.7 - she tells me it's not a fever?
