We’re here, and it’s a blast 😬

I’m glad to hear those blood test results came back normal 👍
and that the fever is finally breaking... 😁
Hopefully, things stay on this upward trend 😬

Welcome to our little group of weirdos 😉

I finally got mine, and I went straight to measuring: yesterday was a steady 98.2 all day, then I forgot to check this morning, and now I'm at 98.1... but considering my cycle was 30 days this month and my temperature started rising on day 13, this whole ovulation temperature theory isn't really adding up for me... 🤔 And now, it's dropped again right after I got it... honestly, why am I even overthinking this? I clearly don't have a clue... 👎

But still, I love seeing that 98.1 on the thermometer 😬

I went in for bloodwork, so we'll see. I checked my temp this morning right after waking up while still lying down and it was 98.6, now it's 99.1... it usually drops by tonight...
We'll see, Mark Brooks87, what happens once our periods actually arrive.😕

Mine drops in the evening too, clearly... 😕
Yeah, I'm also counting down the days until my period starts so I can finally begin tracking properly.😉
Just us women, obsessing over every little degree...

Yeah, I was reading up on these temperature readings this morning while I was still lounging in bed. I checked earlier today and hit 98.2°F, then it climbed to about 98.7°F later in the afternoon. It was pretty much the same pattern yesterday—peaking during the day and then dipping down to 97.9°F by evening. Honestly, I feel absolutely wiped out, just totally drained and achy all over... plus, my period should be starting any day now...
The whole thing is just getting so frustrating...

@ redcrane6: You laid that out perfectly. A solid five stars for both the insight and the commitment... 👍 😉

I’ve still got this 37 feeling lingering, starting right around ovulation. I guess we'll see how things look once my period actually arrives... but man, it really gets under my skin... 😠

Forgive me, but I have to say: 🤣 🤣
You really gave me a good laugh there... 🤣 🤣

If it helps, mine is still hanging in there too 😢 at 37 all day long... How are you holding up with ovulation? Are you in the second half of your cycle yet?

^ I'm concerned that the three-month regimen of Seretide 250 once a day might not be enough to truly stabilize my bronchi...

I've been on Advair Diskus for two years now. I started at 500mg twice a day, then moved down to 250mg twice a day, and now we're gradually tapering off... For me, it’s worked like magic. Since I started this regimen, I haven't needed my Ventolin once, nor have I had a single minor attack. My test results have been absolutely fantastic.
But, of course, everyone is different. I actually tried switching over to Symbicort, but the Ventolin dosage in it was just too intense for me, so we had to stop. That said, Symbicort might be the better option for some, since the Ventolin it contains means you can use it for quick relief during an asthma attack—something you just can't do with Advair Diskus.

Yeah, I actually thought about that too, but I’ve never really felt that "ovulation" temperature shift before. If I were to take my temperature, it would probably be around 99°F, but I wouldn't actually *feel* anything. Now, though, I can definitely feel it—it’s like this strange "heat" in my head... Honestly, I’m at a loss for what to make of it. I took some Tylenol today and Advil yesterday, but my temp just won't budge from 98.4 or 98.6, nothing at all until the evening when it finally drops to 97.8. Usually, my temperature runs higher in the evenings, but lately, it’s dropping instead. I just don't understand any of this anymore...

I’ve been running a low-grade fever of about 98.6°F for two days now, but only in the afternoons. It’s perfectly normal in the morning, but then around 3:00 or 4:00 PM, I feel my temperature climbing up toward 98.8°F, only to drop back down to 98.0°F by evening...
I dealt with a viral infection last week and even had to take some antibiotics for a sinus infection, so I’m a bit confused as to why this fever is popping up, especially since it only hits during those afternoon hours... 😕
Anyone have any thoughts on what might be going on?

The book was nothing special, but the movie? Totally misses the mark. Sure, if you just want to kill some time and stare at all those gorgeous designer outfits everyone is wearing, it’s fine... but that’s about it. I really expected something more substantial, but instead, it felt (to put it in culinary terms 😬 ) incredibly bland—zero spice and zero bite.

Lola, I don't have the energy to dig through all these posts right now. Besides, my eye won't stop twitching...

Oh, come on, don't let it get to you. It's nothing to worry about... 😛
Here's the link 😉

Let me look... I think I posted about this topic here recently 🙂

Is there any actual reason for me to be concerned??

Oh come on, buddy, did your doctor literally tell you "NO"?! Seriously, I was bracing myself for a 25% reading, and here you are dropping a 90%! Everything is perfectly fine...🙂

I head in for checkups every three months since I deal with asthma... but tell me, what exactly are you looking for here? You aren't seriously trying to compare our Ford levels, are you? 😬

It’s about the right eye... 🙂

It's better when it flickers to the right. My grandmother used to swear that if it twitches toward the right, it’s a sign of good luck—some kind of success or prosperity headed your way... 😬

Casey Rogers47 said:My immunologist mentioned that a low-grade fever like this is super common when you're dealing with issues in your tonsils, sinuses, lungs, kidneys, or urinary tract.
Anyone running a temperature like this for an extended period really ought to get those organs checked out.

Exactly. I know three different women who dealt with a temperature in the 99-degree range for months on end—one ended up with mono, another had walking pneumonia, and the third was fighting a urinary tract infection. It’s always better to be proactive...
