Progesterone increases temperature, which is why we see a rise on our BBT when we have ovulated. The corpus luteum continues to maintain its progesterone output during pregnancy until the placenta takes over. This is a gradual process that spans over a few weeks.
If I bothered to temp this entire time you would begin to see a drop in my temperatures, signaling the switch from my body supporting the pregnancy to the placenta as the main support system.
Does that make you hotter?
