Pregnancy temp?

[Novabel]

I know this is a weird question but I'm having trouble finding the answer. Does temp always go up if you're pregnant? Some people say yes and some say no.

Temp tends to rise after ov and stay high if prego (some people have a dip around implantation). I found it too stressful to monitor temps around the end of the cycle as if the dropped I'd get upset straight away. I liked to just do it until a week after ov so I knew that I had. X

I monitored conception with bbt with my first pregnancy and my temperature went right up and stayed up. 18 days of high temperatures say you are pregnant, that prompted me to test and sure enough I got a strong positive. x

Progesterone in the LP act as a heat inducing hormone, if I am correct, which elevates temperatures to incubate the egg. Hence why temperatures stay elevated when pregnant. I agree with DeeDeeAbi that some women do experience a brief temp dip with implantation but then it goes right back up and stay up. So, lets say you have a standard LP of 14 days, elevated temps pass this number can indicate pregnancy and also help you pinpoint a more accurate conception date. If you are not pregnant, Progesterone levels will decrease causing your temps to take a nose dive and trigger menstruation.
