i recently went to the Dr as i skipped a couple cycles in March and May. last month my cycle was 3weeks in stead of the 28 day normal cycle. my temp usually runs low because i have had iron deficiency anemia. i started taking iron -- have been taking for 3 weeks. could this cause my temp to rise?  could perimenopause cause my temp to flucuate.. it has been 99 to 99.5. within 5 minutes it will go back down to 98.9 98.6 dropping to 98.1 any feedback would be great.. as my doctor said the 99.5 was not cause for concern however i am concerened

      did you ever take your temp during that time and did it rise. i thought it would not rise. normally my fevers are higher and last longer than a couple minutes or so.. i am really started to get worried about other causes of concern.

      If your doctor said it's nothing to worry about, try not to worry. My temp tends to fall since I started perimenopause. Don't take your temp anymore and that will help you to stop focusing on it.
