Does anyone else use there heart rate monitor on there Fitbit to monitor when they have ovulated? Saw a post on here recently where someone was but can't find it now. Been reading up on it thought it would be interesting to see how many of you guys did?

Hi everyone

Please can I join in? I have been reading this thread with interest!

I'm currently 8dpo, stupidly tested and bfn but obviously faaaar to early!

My resting heart rate is usually 63/64 and yesterday it dipped to 62 and today it's gone up to 65, so according to what I've read here it should continue to rise over the next few days if I'm pregnant? Is that right?

ndo4000 · 01/05/2017 17:21

Sorry to hear that meh. Fingers crossed for next month? And keep an eye on that RHB!!!

Chicken, glad things are looking good!!!

Exciting to know that the theory seems to be working!!!

ifeellikechickentonight · 01/05/2017 16:43

Tested again here and another BFP. Still not getting my hopes up too much after previous mc but pg for now at least! And my HR is still about 15bpm higher than my previous average so that works well with the theory! Hopefully see some of you in the Jan 2018 antenatal!

1234512345Meh · 01/05/2017 16:09

Good and bad news here. Bad news is af came. Good news is that it correlates with my resting HR going down again so the theory still works!

ndo4000 · 01/05/2017 13:38

How is everyone today? I am still counting down the days till I can do a pg test!!! 5 more to go!!!! RHB is still up, so feeling hopeful!

Springflower3 · 30/04/2017 20:14

I see that most peoples are up a good 10 numbers higher pre ovulation whereas mine is just a few numbers! Cause I have only had it a week I am prob getting seeing what is normal... potentially 75 could be normal? I seriously hope the good luck in this thread continues!!!

This deffo is a lucky thread!! Congrats on the BFP!!
Yeah it is more to do with if it's higher than normal for you. Have a look through everyone's graph it starts making more sense then :)

ndo4000 · 30/04/2017 17:19

I think it depends what it normal for you Springflower. My RHB is normally on the low side at about 50bpm, so getting up to near 60 is pretty high for me!! I think it is more to do with what it is like in relation to pre-ovulation heart rate? But I am definitely no expert!!!!

Springflower3 · 30/04/2017 16:04

Hey, this is all really interesting!! I have just started to look at hr on Fitbit..... my hr was 71 at start of week but is now 75? Is this too low to show signs of ovulation??

Massive congratulations to BFP's!! Hope all goes well with you guys!!

ndo4000 · 30/04/2017 15:27

Ooooh! That looks similar to mine, chicken!!!!!! Congrats on your BFP!!!!

ifeellikechickentonight · 30/04/2017 14:32

I'm definitely pregnant now, this is my chart - I ovulated on 15/4 when my resting bpm started rising and it stayed up to the end of the month, got my BFP 2 days ago

ndo4000 · 30/04/2017 13:34

Thanks emma! 😘
Yeah do Ndo! My OH was the same tbh until I've showed him my graph now lol! And because I was temping at the same time that confirmed ovulation ect. Have you tried temping? I would recommend it. I didn't get on with OPKs, but this was my first month temping and I ovulated about 5 days earlier than my fertility app was predicting! Luckily we were just dtd every other day x

ndo4000 · 30/04/2017 09:25

I know I was due to ovulate around the 22nd according to my fertility tracker app, but I didn't have any normal signs of ovulation.

Huge congratulations to both of you!!!

I mentioned this whole rhb stuff to my DH and he is very sceptical! I would love to prove him wrong!!!

I will keep you updated!!!

Emma2803 · 30/04/2017 09:08

Oh that's brilliant!! So pleased for you!!

I think mine shows it really well actually, some other graphs I've seen look confusing!
Yeah I told him yesterday wrote him a note on the chalkboard saying "estimated delivery Jan 2018, you guessed it, your going to be a daddy" should of seen his face! He just kept repeating your pregnant? Are you? 😂!

Emma2803 · 30/04/2017 09:00

Ndo, I think that looks really positive!! I'm going to write on my chart for people that look at this thread because I wouldn't of understood it if it wasn't for you emma.
That line is so dark now!!
I know they are so expensive but I couldn't relax thinking what If it's not true, but now I know it is I can hopefully let it sink in! X

Emma2803 · 30/04/2017 08:38

I've just done my last test!!! Pleased to see its super dark. The test line was visible before all the pee had reached the control line.

Emma2803 · 30/04/2017 08:10

I think if your hr is still raised after ovulation that's a good sign! From your chart I would guess that you ovulated on the 22nd? Good luck!

ndo4000 · 30/04/2017 07:42

Yay!!!!!! So lovely to see the actual word 'pregnant'!!!!!

I am not holding out much hope, but my rhb is still high. What do you reckon? Positive sign?
