High wakeing temperature – help

Question:

Funny, but don’t alternative birth control methods involve waking temperatures as well? The temperatures rise as ovulation occurs and just before menstruation begins. (My wife and I use Natural Family Planning, so we’re all-too-familiar with waking temperatures.) Does checking for hyperthyroid using waking temps only work for men, Dr. Kelly?    –  slade URL:   http://www.herbcare.com > <<While testing for an underactive thyroid with the wakeing temperature > test, we discovered that my girlfriend’s temp in the morning ranges from > 98.9 – 91.1. >> > Maybe she is allergic to detergents and fabric softener of pillowcases. >      See ya!       ;  )    Dr. Lynn Kelly, Chiropractor, Philadelphia, PA >                                Non-Force Chiropractic Techniques and Muscle Therapy >      For health info visit me at:

While testing for an underactive thyroid with the wakeing temperature test, we discovered that my girlfriend’s temp in the morning ranges from 98.9 – 91.1.  What would that indicate?  Later in the day she goes to 98.5 – 98.6 Thanks _BOB

     Your girlfriend is probably in the last (post ovulatory) phase of her menstrual cycle.  The corpus luteum is a small amount of inflammed tissue, almost like a wound, and it raises body temps a bit until it "heals".  Try taking her temps in a week or two, and you may find that they are considerably lower.     There’s a pretty broad range of human normal temperatures even in resting people, by the way.  Average for oral temps for mature adults is about 98.4 F if you add up all the big studies (not 98.6), but normal range is a bit more problematic.  It’s probably anything up to 100 F in younger people, but in the geriatric population, I begin to wonder about hidden infections (a urinary infection, for instance) at any temp above 99.    Excercise and activity, of course, change body temp a great deal. Play a good game of basketball and your body temp is very likely to be over 100 F.
