Can Pregnancy Happen Without A Rise In Basal Body Temperature?
I have been charting my bbt for several months and have had "typical" charts showing a temperature rise during the second half. I am on day 50 of my current cycle but it does not appear that I have ovulated. However, I had blood drawn a few days ago and my hcg level was 18. What could this mean? Can I be pregnant without showing a rise in temperature?

Hello,
Thank You for the query at HealthcareMagic
It is possible to be pregnant without noticing temperature changes.
Your Beta HCG levels are suggestive of early pregnancy. If it is a healthy viable pregnancy the beta HCG levels doubles every 48-72 hours during early pregnancy. Confirmation of pregnancy can be done by Pelvic Ultrasound.
Please follow up with your Gynecologist for necessary evaluation
