increase in temperature, pregnant? HELP!

As said in my other post I'm due for my period in 6 days, well along with being moody, cramping, feel nauseas, tired a lot, using the bathroom a little more but I've noticed the past 3 days my temp has been up any were from .4 to .6 degrees so far, my temp never going above 97.4 ever unless I'm sick or something else is up and I'm not sick, I feel bloated and look it to, I just lost 5 lbs and was looking a lot slimmer now I'm bloated but this is about my temp, could it be pregnancy?

I know how you feel! I am in the same boat as you... My period is due in on the 19 and my temperature has been up since I obulatedas well.

How did your test go?

If you are charting your temps, you have to take them at the same time everyday. Basal Body Temp charting means it's your waking temp. If you get up and talk or go to the bathroom, or don't get enough sleep it messes with your temp. After you get up, your temp rises. Just as every thirty minutes you over sleep, your temp rises by .2 or more. Also, you temp will be higher than normal after you have ovulated until your period starts, then it will fall. So, it being up right now...really has nothing to do with if you conceived or not. It just states that you did ovulate if you charted properly. So ideally, if your period isn't due for another 6 days, they will be elevated until you start your period.

It's not that long really. Just do things to keep your mind preoccupied and the time will go much faster. Like Cassandrajane said if you keep stressing so much it could delay your period. So just wait and stop looking at 'signs'

its best to take a test the DAY of your Missed period... because then its alot more accurate. You're looking tooo hard into the signs. Like I said yesterday, you dont wanna think every 'sign' 'symptom' and think OMG I'M PREGNANT' because thats how a Phantom Pregnancy thing happens... because you've made yourself believe you're pregnant because you're getting symptoms which most of the time mean nothing... you CANT go by symptoms and signs. Because the signs and symptoms CAN be other things, like a cold,  flu, start of AF. even if you havent had it as a sign before.. bodies change all the time!!

Just wait untill your period and go from there, because if you keep stressing and stuff you could delay your period and then that will get you more excited then when you stop stressed get AF you'll be heartbroken!

5 days isnt that far!! JUST WAIT! Trust me!

I think they have one that you can take like 5 days before your missed period. But I've never taken one I tested after and only because I was almost a month late. So I don't know how accurate it would be.

I agree. You're looking to hard into "signs" and "symptoms" of pregnancy. What you are feeling could be pregnancy, but it could also be your period about to start. You need to wait until your period is due to test and stop reading into all of these signs. Many women, myself included have felt pregnant in the 2ww and ended up not pregnant.

there are a lot of things that can be 'signs' if that's how you interpret them but they can also have nothing to do with it. just be careful so you dont have a phantom pregnancy. my friend got herself so worked up thinking she was pregnant, the test was positive and everything, but when she went to the dr she wasn't, it was because she kept telling herself that she was she tricked her body into believing it and you dont want that to happen. so i know its hard but try not to think about it and just wait till you test.

you have to take a pregnancy test to know anything for sure. so i would wait till you're supposed to get your period and if you still haven't test then. the things you're experiencing now could be due to a number of things. if i were you i'd stop stressing and just wait to take a test the first pee in the morning if you dont get your period. and if you're really concerned go to your dr.
