Ok, Im right around ovulation time (usually is between CD 18 and CD24 and Im on CD20) Yesterday I caught some kind of bug and had a fever and disregarded that temp. By last night it seemed my fever had gone away, but this morning I got a temp of 98.5 (its not a fever, but my normal post-ovulation temp is 98.0-98.3).
My cm is starting to go back to creamy, but Ive been taking a lot of allergy and cold meds and have been told that those can dry it slightly.
Should I keep the temp and assume I ovulated yesterday or disregard it? Can a temp raise a little as kind of a redisual from having a fever?
I kind of need to know if we need to Baby dance tonight or assume Ive ovulated and begin that 2 week wait.

I would keep the temp on your chart and make a note of the medication and illness that you might have had. One or Two off temps will not mess your chart up!

Always use the temp, but note any extraordinairy circumstances. Also, I wouldn't assume you ovulated and keep on baby dancing!
Good luck.

Never make the assumption that you ovulated until it's confirmed by a thermal shift for a couple of days.
I suggest you adjust it, but keep baby dancing!

Keep the temp but flag it that it may not be correct.
Assume you have NOT ovulated and keep BDing!

Hmm... hard to say... but to be on the safe side I would disregard the temperature. Consider it to be two days of illness and I think it will be fine.
