About 96.8 to 97.2. But I tend to run a little cold compared to the norm.

Basal Body temperature is just another way of saying "Core body temp".

Your alarm goes off in the morning, you're all snug in your bed. Not too hot, not too cold, comfy, cozy, and more importantly your body IS AT REST!!! No motion. You havent stretched, you havent walked, you havent talked, you havent done anything other than open your eyes.

Pop a thermometer in your mouth, hit the snooze button and HOLD STILL.

Do that everyday for a month, average out your results, and THAT is your core or basal body temp! :)

The range of what is 'normal' is big. I am told that 96 is normal, while the text books all say that every man woman and child on the face of the planet should have exactly the same body temp of 98.7.

That's just not possible! That's like saying every male aged 42 should be 6'1".

Pretty much anything from 95.5 to 99.3 is not going to your Dr.s attention.

If you sustain a 99.3 they might check into it after a month (or three) just to make sure that is your personal "norm".

During your menstrual cycle, an elevated basal body temperature indicates that you have entered your luteal phase. This means that you have ovulated and moved on from the folicular phase. During the first part of your cycle, your body produced estrogen which lowers the basal body temperature. Once ovulation occurs, the body begins to produce progesterone, which causes basal body temperature to rise slowly until your period comes. Throughout your cycle, your temperature should rise and fall, but it is considered an elevation when the temperature rise above a cover line and stays elevated above it.

Does menstrual cycle change the body temperature?

No. Many women monitor their menstrual cycles with basal body temperature (BBT) charts to find out when they ovulate. This involves taking your temperature when you awake each morning, before you get out of bed, while your temperature is at its lowest for the day. When you ovulate, your basal body temperature typically rises about half a degree Fahrenheit. In other words, ovulation might affect your body temperature, however your menstrual cycle wouldn't.
