Hi there,
My husband and I have been together for 8 years, married for almost 3. We have been officially TTC for about 6 months now, but NTNP for a few years before that.
I have had endometriosis for as long as I can remember and worry all the time that I will not be able to get pregnant. Of course everyone around me is pregnant or has kids - including my best-friend who is 6 months pregnant - making it even more frustrating with every negative test. Unfortunately I'm sure many of you can relate.
I often don't have periods for 6+ months at a time, but my LMP was Aug 14 which gave me a little bit of hope. My family doctor has said not to worry too much about missing periods as I could still be ovulating. I have been looking around to find the perfect OB/GYN so I can make sure my fertility has not been affected.
I am hoping to get very serious about charting, but I work shift work and am frequently flipping back and forth between nights and days and because I am part-time I rarely have stretches of time off when going from nights to days so sometimes it is very difficult to readjust.
Do you have any tips for charting BBT and/or CM when on shift work?
Thanks in advance! It's nice to "meet" you all

I don't really have any advice on the charting BBT because I'm actually having the same problem (shift work) but I didn't want to r&r. A lot of people seem to have good experiences with OPK's but I myself have only tried them once and due to my cycles they're not right for me either
