Hi ladies! I have kind of a strange question but I'm really hoping someone has some advice. I am planning on starting to chart as we are hoping to conceive anytime after DD turns 1 in May. It took us 2 years to get pregnant with her so I'm trying to be more vigilant about my cycles this time. The problem is that I work shift work - 12 hour days and nights and am constantly flipping back and forth between days and nights. Does anyone have any experience with this? How accurate can I get a BBT if in the morning I am coming off of a 12 hour night shift? I guess I am just wondering if it's even worth charting if my body is all over the place. I often think that working shift work is what contributed to our fertility problems since it is so hard on the body.

Anyway, any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thank you. I'll have to look more into that site to get things started.
