BBT and working nights?

[Lau24]

At the moment I'm only using opks but would like to start temping but I work nights...just wondering if there is anyone here that works nights and does temp? Or if there's a way I could even when working nights?...I'm lucky If I get about 4hrs sleep when I first get home and then get up but go back to sleep after an hour or so. Any advice will be really appreciated! Thanks! Xx

Do you only work nights every night, or just on and off? I think the most important thing is to do it at a consistent time. I've read of ladies that temp in the afternoon after a sit down.

Hey I am in the same boat as you. This is my second month of doing BBt and I work night shift also. I think if you can get at least 4 hours sleep and then take your temp it is pretty good. I find that if I don't sleep well or long enough I will get random high temps. I also use OPK tests and rely on them more to help me find the best days to conceive.

It's difficult because I'm off 4 2 nights now but I'm thinking of temping next month...I got a positive opk yesterday so fingers crossed I won't need to start temping next month...but thinking of going to my gp and asking for a blood test to see if I ovulated or not xx
