temp when sick?

Lav · #1 February 10th, 2012, 04:15 AM

Hi ladies,

I was hoping this cold would go away quickly, but it appears it's only just getting started. Last night I hardly slept at all... maybe 30 min. out of 8 hours. The rest was tossing and turning. This morning I have a headache and feel like crap

My temp this morning shot up to 98.76. Now I'm wondering if that is even a reliable temperature, being I'm sick. We've left the heat up a little higher than usual the last couple of days because of my cold, but yesterday my temp wasn't this high. Could it be because I hardly slept? I don't know what to do with this temp...

Also, I'm afraid of taking any medication in case I could be pregnant. But I really want to feel better

What can I do? Or what can I safely take?

We're not going to the party tomorrow, which is a shame

It was a costume party. That would have been so much fun

I just tested my temp again, out of curiosity. It has come down to 98.45...

has none of you ever been sick when charting during TTC?

What temp do you think is more accurate, the one from this morning after a sleepless night, or the one I took later during the day?

I'm so confused, and losing hope for this cycle.

I'm not sure, hun. I didn't have a fever. Maybe try the big TTC board? There are a lot more women there.

I keep forgetting about that one. I'll try there later, thanks Robyn

Just saw this now. I just posted something in TTC about temps and being sick. But I am worried if my cold around O delayed O. So, sorry I can't give you much insight because I'm confused too!
