Question

I am 31 and trying to have my first baby. If I work night shift from 11pm to 7am 6 days a week and sleep during the day. What time would I take my temp?

Can anyone offer insight into this issue I am having I am extreamly ready to have a  baby.

Answer

Thank you so much I appreciate your help

Answer

BBT is the lowest body temperature attained by during rest (usually during sleep). It is generally measured immediately after awakening and before any physical activity. The time of day shouldn't matter as long as you take it right after you wake up.

Answer

I also have this issue. I had stopped taking my temp bc I work from 11:30pm to 9:30 am. I just would think it would not be accurate for us because it's not in the morning when we take it.

Answer

I would suggest taking it a when you wake up if your body is used to your schedule(you have been on that sleep schedule for a few months). If you have only been doing it for a couple of weeks I would take it a before you go to sleep and when you wake up, for a couple of weeks to just see how much you fluctuate through the day and around the time you should be ovulating if you notice one of them change then stick with that time for now on!
