BBT Temp drop and pregnant(5wks), is this normal or impending miscarriage???


Im  in panic mode today :(
I wanted to continue temping until my first ob appt next friday.
So,my temps dropped today...it was 97.9 but it fell out of my mouth at the end (wasnt in there good) so i took it again real quick before getting up and it said 97.3 :( thats below my coverline :( my coverline is 97.6...

97.9 is also the first low temp ive had since my bfp :( im really freaking out today...plus i really havent had any symptoms since i first found out i was prego (then i had bloating, hunger, gassy). I called my doc yesterday about the allergy meds (bc my allergies are killing me)...but im afraid to call them again today about this :( i just want to cry...i really feel like something isnt right :(  I have AF like cramping this morning too

Is it normal to have your temp drop this much when pregnant?
Is this a symptom of possibly a missed miscarriage?
I dont know what to do?

Hi, i have not had a period for 7wks, my husband and I have tried to get preg for over a year. Now ive missed my period wks ago but tested negative 8 days ago. Several days ago I felt like my period was coming, it never came, but I noticed my temp has dropped to 97.5 3 days ago, and has stayed their. What can all this mean? i am 26 and have never had a child so I am confused. Ive had some whiteish discharge from time to time, other than that no symptoms, can I be pregy?

As I said before, temp drops alway's happen. It doesn't mean MC. And as long as your not having SEVERE cramps with bleeding or clots then your fine.. Just sit back and relax and enjoy this time! :) Congrats MOM!

This is why we say stop temping when you get your positive it can drive you mad.temps can drop or even rise,doesnt mean impending mc.
You say it dropped out before finished.so then you took again,most likely after moving to get it.this will effect it.cramping is perfectly normal at this stage,there is alot going on right now.I would stop temping and enjoy your pregnancy,as previous lady says,if your not bleeding then relax dont worry.

Ladies,
Just because your temp drops, does not mean you are having a MC or that there is something wrong.... I was 6 weeks when I found out I was pregnant and I didn't actually feel the symptoms until I saw that + sign... Just relax and wait for your OB appt's. Temperatures do increase and decrease during pregnancy. Unless your bleeding or having severe cramps, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Hi Ladies,

I was also temping after my BFP which still are high right now (way above the coverline) although I had a miscarriage 5 days ago.

What was your outcome?

Sorry girl, I also don't have any symptoms of pregnancy and I am also 5 weeks. My first u/s  is only on Tue :( I am also freaking out but I know symptoms can go up and down...so hang in there!!! I am not sure about temp, I never took one (cuz I would get insane myself!) but my only symptoms are constupation, dizziness, and tender bbs sometimes. That's it. No nausia or anything. I read that nausia can start on week 6. But I already had one mc and with that, I had no symptoms either. Anyway, let's not freak out until we see our docs!!!
