Fitbit & TTC

That's @micropig. This month was our best timed yet dtd as it hasn't always been easy with dh's work schedule but we managed to dtd 2 days before ovulation and on day of ovulation!! Really hoping for that BFP this month!!!

@gerriberry fingers crossed for you that the dip was implantation!

Hi everyone, I'm back again this month watching my RHR. This is my chart. I ovulated on Day 16 and RHR has risen to 70bpm and stayed there!! Took a dip yesterday (which could be implantation as it's was 7DPO??) and has gone back up to 70bpm today. I only have a 12 day Keira's phase so AF is due Wenesday and I'm going to wait until then to test!! Really hope that it continues to rise and this is our month!!!

@micropig my heart rate usually dips just before I ovulate. Only by 1 or 2 but I can see it dip and then go back up again x

Just for the sake of interest, here's my RHR for the last two cycles. Yellow bars are to show when AF was, blue line is first cycle using FitBit, red line is this cycle (2nd with Fitbit obv). AF is late but got a BFN yesterday (usually 35 days but was 39 cycle before these two, grr). Based on last months cycle RHR I am expecting AF today or tomorrow.

When would you guys think I ovulated based on these? I am thinking I'm getting it all wrong, but I have a higher sex drive than DH and so although I'd be keen to DTD every second day all cycle, he would get fed up pretty quick and I'm scared to miss it,

@intelligentPutty I think you're right there! Mine went up the other day but still got my period today. Just a wind up!

Not sure what's going on with mine??? Haha all seems a bit erratic? I think I ovulated on the 21st/22nd but can't say for sure!

I've not worn mine since Saturday. Its all getting too much so far as prediction of BFP goes.. can't deal with the stress...!!
Good for ovulation, but won;t tell u that you might be getting BFP soon..

@HolyShmoly I'm a doofus and totally missed that you got your BFP! How's your heart rate doing these days? xx

Also, I find this interesting in terms of hormone fluctuations/emotions too as I did notice last months some days I felt terrible and it would coincide with an RHR change. Hopefully though I won't be at this long enough to figure out the trends in mine, lol.

Sorry for terrible quality (took pic from pc) but here's my chart for the last two months. Yellow bars are AF (same amount of days both months), green bars are predicted ovulation according to Glow. I think I ovulated on the first or second day of it this time. Blue line is last months RHR and red line is this months.

There is certainly a dip around predicted ovulation, still no clue when I actually ovulate though. Any ideas from you lot?

Think we didn't DTD around ovulation window this time (did before and after but a few days out) so not getting my hopes up for a BFP, just wanna figure out my ovulation pattern.

Couldn't see a pattern before but it turned out I had input some of last months data wrong, once I corrected it there is quite a clear pattern. Ooh I do love a graph.

Sorry bambino x

I'm only just starting my tww so not much to report but my rhr is high at the minute which I think is due to the cold I've got.

Bambino sorry to hear that 😩

I'm out 👎🏻

Terrible quality, but this is my data so far. Yellow bars AF, green bars are Glows predicted ovulation, blue line is last cycle, red line is this one, and it's day one till day 35 of cycle.

TMI gross question for the CM checkers - how are you meant to check it when you're TTC? I mean I just get bits of cum during the day after DTD so can't really see CM lol

Hula I'm not totally sure where I ovulate yet either, this is just my second month using FitBit. I'm going to put this months chart on top of last months to see if I can see any similarities. Also been meaning to do BBT but I always forget in the morning lol.

I agree with holy, I have been reading along I'm not starting ttc until March time but I have began tracking my cycles And have been overlapping my monthly charts on excel spreadsheet and I can see a pattern now :)

I think it's best to work out what your own rhythm is like, I think a lot of people's differ. I found it easier to layer my charts to see the pattern, but I also was checking cm, etc to check ovulation.

I'm so confused with this. I'm all backwards...My RHR is at its lowest the day af starts or the day after .... I'm assuming my peak is around ovulation but I haven't pinned down when ovulation is yet 😥 is that odd? As some of you after saying your lowest is at ovulation?

Here's my chart currently. The peak at 74 was the day AF started, and I'm not in my ovulation window according to Glow. My heart rate has dropped today so it looks like I am coming into ovulation if holys chart is anything to go by. Have a friend over for a visit next week so fingers crossed I'm ovulating now, as i won't get much baby making done while they are here lol.

Fingers crossed this is my month!

Holy thanks for the comparison chart and congratulations!!

I'm now 4 days late although i would have ovulated 2 weeks ago from this Friday coming so I'm not really sure what to think yet? X

@Bambino90 any update?

Mine actually dips at ovulation then rises again, dipping a couple days before AF.

I'm officially late now and a digital test this morning confirmed I'm 2-3 weeks pregnant. In the interest of nosiness science here's a comparison chart of the three months I have data for. My rhr increased fairly early on, I think that was due to steps I took to improve my circulation. Obviously a lower rhr is better, but I think this helped me.
