Temperature and pregnancy

Hi ladies!
I tested positive yesterday, 9 dpo, in the afternoon. This morning at 10 dpo with first morning urine it was a bit clearer, and the digital test says 1-2 weeks pregnant
But my temp was 36.7 this morning. It's been like that since the day after ovulation (before ovulation it was 36.3/36.4).
Now that I've tested positive, shouldn't my temp rise a bit more?
Would love to hear your experiences.
Xx Ilona

    Congratulations, girl.
    I never did that, but the only thing I paid attention to was that my test kept getting darker. I tested positive for 5 days and I only paid attention to the one that got darker. I didn’t do anything with temperatures at all.

    Thank you
    Okay, yeah, I'll do that too. See if they go up. It's so exciting...

    Haha, it's definitely exciting. It's especially thrilling until you have your first ultrasound.

    Every body is different your temp doesn't HAVE to rise. I myself have a low body temperature, but my son always has a high one.. so not exactly the 'standard' either.

    Congratulations and try to enjoy it!

    I don't think it's rising, it really stays the same, and if you get your period it'll drop again. Don't worry! And you don't need to test anymore either, just enjoy yourself

    I tested 3 times. Once 5 days before my due date, once 3 days before my due date, and the last time on the day of my due date. It was only because I still had those tests at home that I tested so often. Indeed, enjoy it.

    Yes, definitely try to enjoy it. It's just that I had a D&C last year, which is still on my mind. That means there's a higher risk of miscarriage and preterm birth. I'll need extra monitoring and possibly a cerclage (a stitch around the cervix) if needed.
    I still have some pregnancy tests left that I'll use until my period starts on Monday. On Tuesday I have to get my blood drawn

    Take lots of tests, hahahaha!
    I’ve done at least 5 tests with every pregnancy, not because of questionable results but just because it feels so damn good to see a line appear

    Enjoy it!

    Yeah, I still have 3 from Kruidvat (2 for 5) left, 1 from Action and 1 from CB Digital haha... I'll definitely use those to see if my line is turning up nicely. I'm also continuing to temp until Monday (ND)
