Does ovulation raise your body temperature?

Quick and simple question, when you're ovulating -- does your temperature rise slightly?

I had a little accident Friday night. Condom leaked and I had a ton in me. There was no spermicide on the condom.

My cycle is generally 30-31 (sometimes 29) days and my last period was on September 18th. 

My general temperature runs from 97.2-97.6, its up to around 98.2-98.8. 

Help?

Actually I took my temperature this morning, it was 97.6 (I'm usually 97.4).

Ugh, I wish I could understand my body.

Have you been taking your temps consistently, and charting? It really helps! Remember that one or two data points can't tell you anything significant really. But a continuous history of temps will make a pattern quite apparent.

It's also important to note that other factors can affect your waking temperature, such as drinking alcohol the night before, sleeping in, not getting 3 hours of consecutive sleep before temping, etc.

I hope everything works out for you!

Well. I've noticed (I take my temperature randomly during the day) and its in the 98's. Generally during the day in the PAST it was in the 97's.

Before tempting during the day, I make sure I'm not active, not drinking/eatting anything, etc.

Thank you =). I'm just very freaked out right now.

Ahh... I don't know how temperatures work during the daytime w/ regard to ovulation. (Sorry!)

Are you going to take / have you taken EC? It might not be too late!

I can't take an EC

1. I don't have $40
2. I have serious medical problems right now and I don't want to take the risk of taking an EC and getting serious complications and/or reactions. I'd rather be knocked up, than die trying to stop it.

Okay. Good luck to you, whatever happens!
