    Post ovulation, your basal body temp should shift .03 degrees or higher and REMAIN elevated until right before your period starts or drop soon after it begins.

    Good luck.

    Stay elevated, yes. It will drop again around the time your period is due. Or stay elevated for 9 months if you turn out to be pregnant.
