Introducing myself

in Trying to Get Pregnant
Hi everyone. I just wanted to write a quick introduction. I've been checking these boards on and off during the last few months and thought it was about time I got around to saying hello. My husband and I have been TTC since February 2014, so heading into month 6. I read the newbie blog, and I track my cycles with FF (temping and opks). My temping does get a little wacky since I work 40 hour night shifts (as a labor and delivery RN), but for the most part I can make pretty good sense of my charts. I look forward to getting to know you all. -C

    Welcome!  I'm a night shift nurse too (not by choice).  Temps are probably more erratic than non-shift workers, but I can still see a change.

    Welcome!  I loved all of the L&D nurses when I had my daughter.  It's a wonderful profession, I'm sure very rewarding as well.  Bet you see a lot of crazies though too?

    Welcome! I just recently got off of night shift & am now a day shifter..I'm struggling to get my act together by this major change. Hubs & I have been TTC since Jan, went through 6 cycles of Clomid & now will start seeing a fertility doc. Fingers crossed. Good luck to you! I look forward to reading more of your posts!

    Thanks for the warm welcome everybody! @littlewest1 it's the most rewarding job in the entire world.... We definitely see a lot of "interesting" people, but one way or another we get to help them meet their precious babies so it's easy to deal with if you keep that perspective (I'm far from perfect so there are times where people are just down right insane and you can't help but count down the minutes until your shift is over) @shocker929 I really enjoy my work life at night (staff I work with, flow of the shift, etc) it's my real life that struggles because of it. But for now it's my only option....hopefully you'll get in the swing of things and working days will be a great change for you. @Wine&Cupcakes‌ I could never rotate days and nights in one week....how in the world do you manage to function....?

    Sorry that's all in one big block...I'm posting from my iPad and it looks all spaced out but then I hit enter and it's all posting as one paragraph... I'll work on it.

    Welcome!

    Another vote for L&D nurses being the bestest ever! I had one who actually told the others "hands off.. She's mine" and made the charge nurses switch around patients so she was still with me. Then again, she had been with me from the get go and after 3 days together we were buds. I couldn't have gotten through it without her!

    Here's hoping you get to the other side of the bed soon!

    My hubby and I have been TTC since March 2014. I am a type 2 diabetic so we have some hurdles. Every month that we haven't had a PPT I've gone into a pretty deep depression. I wish you the very best of luck!
