A gravid female will normally measure 88-90 degrees. If a female does not have access to a warm enough place, she will be pretty active looking for a warmer place. That behavior has let me know more than once that I had a female that was gravid whose ovulation I had missed. That 88-90 temperature is assuming there is a warm enough place to rest. 92 should be warm enough and given the fact that she is much lower in temperature, I would say she is not carrying live babies. Could be slugs though. Then again, it could be as you said, she may be ovulating or gearing up to ovulate.
Good luck!
