Hello
thanks for your query.
The difference in the temperature recorded is not significant.
after sex, some elevation of body temperature is natural.
You dont need to take temperatures if you are feeling fine otherwise.
Taking temperatures is too unreliable a method to diagnose a period or a pregnancy.
to be sure of pregnancy, take a test once you skip your period, that is the only reliable way of doing it.
Please consult an andrologist / urologist for your husband.
take care.
