Are the temps supposed to remain high if you're preggo?

Hi Ladies!
So I tested positive last week and then called my Dr to confirm. He said that it is still early in the pregnancy and that my HCG level is a bit low. He told me to POAS again on Thursday and if positive to schedule an exam for additional blood draw.
My question is..... My temp is falling and I'm not sure if it's supposed to stay high all throughout pregnancy..... Is this a bad thing?

congrats on your BFP!

The simple answer is, generally, the sign that AF is going to start is that your temperature should fall back below the coverline. Your chart still look fine.

Is there a reason that your doctor wont see you yet? Does he not believe that you got a +? Or did they do a blood test already and he tell you your HcG was low?

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I went in to see him and had some blood taken. That was how he was able to determine that my HCG was low. I'm going on Thursday to get tested again. The temperture drop just freaked me out a little bit.

This was exactly what I was going to ask as well. I got a temp drop today and another bfn but I am still above my coverline!

Hi rancherandcitygal! I had a similar situation... My coverline was set and the temp was high but never went below that coverline and tested Negative. I kept on testing as the days past and my temp was still above that line. Then I saw a faint line! It's probably too early for you. I think I found out when I was at 9 DPO.
Hugs and Good Luck!
