Shift work and charting just doesn't work (for me)

I have come to realization that charting and rotating day and night shift at work makes it impossible....my chart should show ALL open circles because I never take my temp at the same time. 

I may just give up after this cycle and just wing it again.

    It's not working for me, either. I never sleep the same hours, and I do not sleep soundly either... so temping is a mess for me.

    I track CM and am attempting CP. I use the chart for all that as well as OPK's and sex. 

    It really sucks.

    Can you ladies just make a point to temp after 3 solid hours of sleep?

    It does suck and I don't work shifts, just sometimes a changing schedule because of travel and a poor sleep pattern. I just take the open circles.

    I work shifts, and I temp at 4 am.i set an alarm for it.  no matter what time I get home, I can almost guarantee that I will have 3 hours of solid sleep by 4am. Usually about one night a month I will work an overnight but I told them I couldnt this month because it lands on my ovulation day and there is no way im messing up this cycle. hth.
