Post Ovulatory Temp Pattern
Question
My temp was 36.3 then went up to 36.5 and I am now on day 21. It is now 36.8. Does the temp keep going up or should it be the same from ovulation to the end of my cycle?

Dear Linda,
Ovulation will cause an increase of .4 degrees F, or .2C, over the pre-ovulation temperature level. Your temperatures will fluctuate a bit around that higher level, in much the same way that they fluctuate around the lower level before ovulation, until your next menses. They do not continue to increase, unless you have a fever.
