There's a few that are VERY experienced, I'm pretty new, however, I'm pretty sure antibiotics as well as your body fighting the infection should affect your temp.
I read every part of Taking Charge of Your Fertility which dealt with yeast infections or temps and it didn't adress any of it. Thanks though.
The body produces a substance called pyrogens when there is an infection in your body. The result is increased body temperature. This is basically a mechanism to allow your body to try to get rid of the offending agent (ex. bacteria) because it can't survive at higher temperatures.
Can you check with your physician to find out more info and ask if the rest of your cycle should be normal? I'm sure your physician would be able to answer your questions better because they have your past medical history, etc.
Well, I don't "think" that the infection will affect your cycle. It WILL affect your ability to read your cervical fluid. Where in your cycle are you? If your fairly regular, you should still get your period about the same time and ovulate about the same time. If your not, it would probably be best to abstain and allow your body a chance to heal. But, by judging other things it can help you "guess" where you are...
What day of your cycle are you on? Based on the previous three cycles, which phase should you probably be in right now? That will give you a ballpark to start in for what you should be on the lookout for. I also doubt that the infection will have changed your cycle; it's just that it's masked the signs.
Also, once the infection goes away you will be able to determine Phase 3 by counting three days of dry mucus and three days of high temperatures. You might miss the rise because of the infection, but since you have a few cycles of experience you know roughly what high temperature level is normal for your body. I have been sick during my temperature rise too (really sick, like 102 degree fever), but once I was no longer sick my temperatures were at their normal post-ovulation level, whereas before I was sick they were at the pre-ovulation level. So I had missed the rise, but I knew I was at my normal post-ovulation temperature level for at least 3 days, and I had the dry mucus readings to back it up. The day of my cycle also corresponded with my cycle history of being in Phase 3.
If you would like I can look at your chart with you---p.m. me if you want to do that.
The infection happened just as my period was ending, literally period one day, yeast infection the next. Between having the infection and then using a cream to treat the infection, cervical fluid is just not something to measure right now. I'm done with the cream (used last night and so some is still present today), but am nearing day 15 of my cycle. The last 2 months I've noticed fluid starting around days 14-15 with ovulation occuring on day 17 (Jan) and day 20 (Feb). Since it's so close to when I ovulate and my temp hasn't been completely consistent this month, I think we're just sticking to condoms until 3rd dry day after ovulation.
Thanks for the advice ladies. It's nice having a resource to turn to in order to ask questions and get support. When I mention NFP at the gyno when I went in to get the infection checked out, they were less than interested/supportive. Oh well. My husband and I chose this for religious reasons and they aren't going to discourage us. It's just more challenging when things like this happen. You ladies are awesome.
It's very unfortunate your Dr isn't supportive. If it comes down to it, you can probably ask your local pregnancy resource center, i.e. not a clinic but like a birthright center that focus' on helping moms who are pregnant. Many times, the Dr's associated with them are pro-life and know more about FAM methods.... as well as are supportive of your beliefs. Just ask a local center for a list of recommended Drs.... if it comes down to that and you need to find one who understands and supports your decision... as well as aid you to practice it better.

My husband and I have been using NFP sympto-thermal for 3 months now and everything has been like clockwork up until this cycle. Lately I've seen a few odd temperature spikes. It's only been about .3 degrees, but for me that's a lot. I haven't consumed alcohol, stayed up particularly late, had a heating pad, been especially stressed, none of the described triggers. I have had a yeast infection though. I was wondering if any of you have experienced this sort of thing before. It's really throwing me off because I can't do a cervical fluid check and I'm not good at checking my cervix. Now, sex is painful so we're holding off on that, but I'm worried it's going to make it hard to figure out the rest of the month, especially once the infection is gone.
Oh, the dr prescribed diflucan, and I did finish a round of amoxicillan recently (which gave me the infection in the first place!).
