Today is the first day I have really been nauseated. I have been just laying around all day not feeling very well. I kind of started feeling feverish so I took my temp and it was up to 99.5. I don't really feel like I am sick but maybe I am not experiencing morning sickness, maybe it is the flu. Is it normal for my temp to be up like this or should I call the dr?

My temp being elevated was part of the reason I thought I should take a pregnancy test. I wasn't charting or anything, but I recalled that a somewhat elevated temp can be a sign of pregnancy. I got 99.5 the night before I tested (and I am usually around 97.6). But if you are unsure due to other symptoms, it might not hurt to call your doctor to make sure nothing else is going on.

I'm not having chills or anything else flu related. Just horrible nausea. I just feel awful today and this is the first time I have felt like this. Everyone kept telling me it was coming so here it is I guess. I have been taking my temp on and off today and it has went down to around 99.1. It fluctuates a little but has never went over 99.5. I read that if it hits 100 then you should get a hold of your Dr. The slight rise could just be the fact that I am pregnant. I will keep monitoring it and if I feel any other flu symptoms such as sore throat, chills, etc I will get a hold of my provider.
