Most people think of a normal body temperature as an oral temperature of 98.6Â°F (37Â°C). This is an average of normal body temperatures. Your temperature may actually be 1Â°F (0.6Â°C) or more above or below 98.6Â°F (37Â°C). Also, your normal body temperature changes by as much as 1Â°F (0.6Â°C) 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.
