Antibiotics and temping

Kasie936 · 08-30-2006, 05:21 AM

Has anyone had antibiotics affect their BBT? Today is 11dpo, and my temp went up .3 degrees from yesterday, which is high for me. It could be a fluke, I will have to see when I temp tomorrow. However, it occurred to me that it could be from the antibiotics I started yesterday. I'm not sick, I just have a minor skin infection on my wrist and my doctor thought it would be a good idea.
Do you think this could affect my temperature?

Thanks!

Hi Kasie: I never took antibiotics while temping, but it's possible that the meds have affected your temp. Or it could be a normal temp fluctuation. My temp before O often jumped around

. Let's see what it does tomorrow!

Good luck and keep us posted+++++++++++

i never took AB's while temping either. as long as it's not a crucial point in your cycle (like around O time,) where it could confuse you, i wouldn't give it a second thought.

I'll let you know _i started taking some yesterday for a sinus infection -I'm on CD-6, so we'll see.

I guess my real question is whether my temps are possibly going triphasic (indicating a possible pregnancy) or if it falsely increased because of the antibiotics. AF is due in 3 days. (I'm at cycle day 25, 11 days past ovulation) My temp in the 2ww is rarely this high.
Thanks, ladies!

Ahhh. the old crystal ball.
Triphasic is hard enough to identify in the best of circumstances - you can't really know esp if it is just one temp and anything anyone here would tell you would just be a guess. Sounds like it might be, but really can't know for sure. Sorry hun!

Hi Kasie: I'm sorry; I read that you were on cd 11 rather than 11 dpo

!

The increased temp could be from increased prog., which could be from a pg or it could just be something your body is doing... unfortunately, you can't tell a pg from even a triphasic chart (you can be pg without being triphasic and you can have triphasic without being pg) ... in any event, good prog. is good

. I hope that your higher than usual temps means that you will see a +++ soon!

Best of luck and keep us posted++++++++
