Hi everyone. I'm going to start temping. I work until 1am-2:30am. Most of you ladies temp when you get up. I'm not temping at 6am so when should I? I usually sleep until eleven, noon, or 1pm. I'm on CD1. When do I start? Thanks for answering my questions that are probably so obvious...

I work night shift, too (hopefully not for long!). I've heard you're supposed to temp everyday at the same time. I would set my alarm for 11:00 or whatever time would work for you. Just make sure you write it down so you don't forget! Since you're on CD1, I would start today! I just started temping, too. Unfortunately, I only work 3 days per week (because they're 12 hour shifts) so my times feel like they're going to be all over the place...

Good luck to you!

I agree! As long as you've had at least 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep, you should be ok

Ditto to the other ladies. Good luck!!

Thanks ladies The BBT thermometer hasn't arrived yet from Amazon. I'm already CD 5, so when is the latest I can start temping and still have an accurate chart? Do I have to wait until next cycle? Thanks again SO MUCH for your answers!

I started CD 2 or 3. I would start whenever you get it. Even if you can't really tell anything based off of the temps you'll be able to compare next month.

I work part time night shift in my days off I temp when I first wake up in th am and the nights I work I temp in the evening when i get up. Suprisingly the time difference has little to no effect on my bbt.
