Body temperature in a healthy, young person usually falls within 97.5 F (36.2 C) to 98.9 F (37.2 C). But it can vary during the day by as much as 1 or 2 degrees. It tends to be lowest in the morning, from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m., when the body is resting. It tends to be warmest in the late afternoon, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., after the body has been active for a while. This diurnal variation is present usually even in those who work night shifts, probably because the body’s internal mechanisms are very resistant to change.
But a person's metabolic rate, which is determined by the genetic makeup, lifestyle, environment and many other factors, can cause the normal body temperature to fall outside the limits mentioned above.

Body temperature in women is increased during the first three months of pregnancy. This may be due to increased blood flow in a pregnant woman.

It all depends on the woman. But Most women have temps above 97.5 post ovulation and on into pregnancy. Whatever your postovulatory temps usually are, should be about where your pregnancy temps should be, possibly a little higher. If you have lower temps that could mean you have lower progesterone levels which could be problematic. If you're worried talk to your doctor.

Whatever is normal for you. Any given day you can go up and down...I sometimes read a normal 97.1 and other days 98.
