Answers:
Most people think of a "normal" body temperature as an oral temperature of 98.6°. This is an average of normal body temperatures. Your temperature may actually be 1°F or more above or below 98.6°. Also, your normal body temperature changes by as much as 1°F throughout the day, depending on how active you are and the time of day. Body temperature is very sensitive to hormone levels and may be higher or lower when a woman is ovulating or having her menstrual period
