Is a low grade fever a sign of pregnancy?

For the past week I've been monitoring my body temp and it's been running between 98.8-99.3. I feel fine I'm not sick or coming down with anything. On 7/20 was when I had unprotected sex we used the pull out method he didn't have a condom. I later found out when we had sex it was on one of my most fertile days.

Thank you I googled it yesterday and just thought I'd asked if someone ever had it as a symptom

  • Chances are, if you DID get pregnant from the sex on the 20th, you wouldn't have any signs this early on. I wouldn't worry about the fever. It's probably your body fighting off something minor you picked up somewhere along the line. If it really worries you, you can take a home test in a few weeks.

  • Don't think so, but it is a sign of ovulation! What other symptoms have you had? My friend (who is pregnant) said the first sign she noticed was when her boobs grew.

    • But I ovulated already according to an ovulation calendar the day after we had sex o be exact. Symptoms: Boobs feel fuller I feel like a raging bitch sometimes and then I feel like crying I'm hungrier Peeing a lot more...that's about it I'll just wait to see what my period does!

    • Okay good luck! :)

  • Have you been experiencing any other symptoms?

    • I actually do have a few of them

    • Well, if you're that worried buy a pregnancy test and take it in the morning after you first wake up. That's when the hormones will be at their highest in your system. I once had a pregnancy scare many years ago. It turned out it my nervousness from the fear of being pregnant that actually made me sick to my stomach.

  • A fever can also be a sign of an infinite amount of medical problems. To be honest, it's probably just a placebo effect.

  • do you have night sweats?

    • No night sweats

    • ok that's good. a constant low grade fever and night sweats are signs of a lot of cancers, so if you do start experiencing them, I would go a see a doc. But I don't think low grade fevers are a sign of pregnancy. Your body might just run a little high - do you usually take your temperature often? The temps you gave are not really out of the normal range. People all vary a bit - my normal is about 97.5. Yours might be a bit higher. If you're worried about being pregnant just take a test in a bit

  • Why is it so hard to pee on a stick?

    • Not for me. I just point and shoot lol

  • Same thing happened to me but I didn't get pregnant. I just got my period

    • Good point my period is suppose to come on next Monday

    • If it doesn't come then you can worry. But I had a low grade fever after the first time I had unprotected sex.

  • Don't think so.
