night shift

[~Kim~]

I want to start charting, but I work night shift 2 nights a week.
Does this mean I can't chart?

Hi Kim,
I think you should still be able to..the instructions that came with my thermometer said that you should take your temp as soon as you wake up after at least 4 hours sleep.
Have you tried looking on the fertility friend website for info?
Hope this helps.

Thanks Sam. Yep I have but it says around the same time every day

Kim - I found something on my google travels last night that said, when you can, take it at the same time every day, but on night shift take it after at least 4hrs sleep and record the fact that was a shift work night to account for any variation.
It won't be perfect but it will give you some indication of whats happening.
Good luck
