I have never heard of raised internal temperature being a sign of pregnancy.

How late is your period? Have you done a home test?

Surprisingly having a slightly elevated temp is one way of checking for possible pregnancy when using charting. Just prior to when ovulation occurs, often there will be a dip then rise in body temp. This elevation usually drops back down when a period is going to start. If it stays elevated, it can be a sign that pregnancy has been achieved.

Keep in mind too that your body temp will change a bit throughout the day so it could just be a matter of that.

Certainly try a pregnancy test if you think there is a good chance you could be pregnant.

it was at night that he said it felt warmer could that be a time when my temp just changes through out the day? idk I'm just paranoid because he said he finished in me a little about 3 weeks ago and I've noticed a lot of changes these three weeks I could just be imagining it because I'm only 17 and worried.
I'm suppose to start in 1 week actuall now 6 days so I guess I will see but I hate the waiting game.

Enough of a rise in temperature that a sexual partner can feel it?

There would be no way to determine what any slight increase would be due to and the change would be subtle. Temps do tend to go up a bit in the evening, and obviously that area of the body is warm to begin with, so it could just as well have been a natural alteration.

I didn't explain what I was asking. OP said that her partner notices her elevated temperature when they have intercourse.

I'm asking if the OP's body temperature would rise enough due to pregnancy for her partner to notice it in this fashion.

Temps do change throughout your cycle which indicate fertile times and/or pregnancy.

If your boyfriend actually noticed that, its due to other factors such as late in the day, warmer room, etc. So, a coincidence. If you want to monitor the temps Doula is referring to, take your temprature as soon as you wake in the morning, before you get out of bed. Establishing a pattern is the only way to know if your temps are actually elevated.

The easier way: Take a HPT with first morning urine and use protection.
