Tracking your cycle and possible BFP using RHR - part 4

@Alicespring you'll have to keep us updated. well all be thinking of you and have our fingers crossed for you 💓

@LarasMama how many times a day are you testing? Yes I got my peak this evening ☺️. Hoping my bbt rises tomorrow thank confirm 🤞. I’m feeling so hopeful this cycle which doesn’t bode well.

Wow that is so interesting!! Sounds like everything went will with your scan? Imagine triplets! I find it so fascinating but also so scary. It’s amazing what the human body can do. Are you definitely skipping this cycle then?

@Alicespring Crossing my fingers that all is good! I had loads of spotting in the first trimester and was put on progesterone.

@mumof23188 OPK was negative and my RHR is still at 59. I’m guessing that ovulation will likely happen on Wednesday. Did you get your OPKs yet?

So I had my appointment and my doctor did a vaginal US. So she actually saw two follicles about the same size. She also told me how there’s an increase in twin and even triplet pregnancies. I think I’ll skip this cycle as chances are high with the two follicles there. It’s interesting tho, because some cycles I definitely felt ovulation on both sides. Has anyone experienced this?

Spotting with old blood is quite common so I'm remaining hopeful for you @Alicespring my boobs have been on and off throughout really so don't read too much into that, FC for the scan xx

@MissBPotter ah I’m sorry it arrived. It’s never easy to see it 😩. New cycle and a new chance ☺️.

We managed to do the last 4 days in a row, my OH has started working away occasionally so it’s making TTC a bit trickier but luckily we managed to dtd this morning so I’m hoping it was ov day today 🤞🤞

@Alicespring ohh I’m sorry you’ve had some spotting. You must be out of your mind with worry. Glad you’ve managed to get a scan, fingers crossed it’s just one of those things ❤️

@lucyrp

Thank you 💖 I have managed to get a scan for wed so fingers crossed 🤞

@Alicespring oh no so sorry to hear that. fingers crossed it's nothing and you'll be fine! sending hugs 💓

Hey guys, back with a wee update.

I started spotting last night (not much and was old blood) but my sore boobs have dissapeared so I've convinced myself I'm having a misscarriage 😭 I should be 5wks 4 days today. Waiting on a call back from EPU but I doubt they can do anything. I'm absolutely gutted.

@mumof23188 yep af started properly yesterday. Not great as it was a 22 day cycle, but I did think my rhr was staying very low, so wasn’t meant to be anyway.

Looks like it could be ov day for you, time to get busy

@MissBPotter ahh no way. Has Af officially started?

@poptypingchef I’m sorry lovely. It’s just shitty isn’t it’s hope you are ok.

@Juno231 looking promising!! Did you test??? Please update!

@LarasMama nearly ov time for you ☺️. We’re quite in sync this cycle I think. I’m CD11 today.

After a moment of madness I definitely agree it was an indent. I’m CD11 today. Think ovulation today? What do you all think?

@GlassLily i use my apple watch ! i do have long cycles at the moment so could be to do with that ? no idea

@lucyrp huh, that's interesting! What device do you use to track RHR? Maybe it's something to do with the formula it's using?

@MissBPotter i go to bed and wake up the same time every day and i have a 9-5 job 🤷🏼‍♀️ i do have long cycles tho, used to be regular but not since my CP they're all over the place !

@GlassLily i go to bed and wake up the same time every night and morning so isn't sleep 🙈 and o drink alcohol very rarely !

So my brown spotting is now very light and my boobs are really sore. They feel kind of prickly. However, my rhr has dropped by one so probably out, just my body trying to confuse me

@Juno231 did you test?

@GlassLily it does seem a little early but can’t be a bad thing?!

@lucyrp your chart does seem a little erratic!! Do you have a regular routine or maybe do shift work or something? Or maybe that’s just your normal, everyone is different.

@lucyrp I think they get thrown off really easily by sleep patterns, alcohol, all sorts, so maybe you have a less regular eating/sleeping routine or something?

@poptypingchef sorry for your drop - you're not out til AF though!

Is it too early to be getting excited about this rise? I'm only 4DPO. But I've never been up to 67 before, I think 65 is my previous maximum.

going to be totally honest i don't know how any of your rhr charts look so normal ?! like they literally just go up then down when AF is approaching? this is mine and i'm on CD19

Well it’s not looking good ... What started as a really promising month has turned into the opposite. I’m not going to lie I’m gutted

@Juno231 your chart is looking really positive, do you think you’ll test soon or wait and see?

@popcorndiva that’s a big rise!

@LarasMama will be good to get some clarity, hope your results are ok.

My early af is just brown blood by the looks of things, but expecting af to start properly tomorrow as rhr has also revised itself down by two points and so has started to fall. Going to have some red wine and cheese this evening to cheer myself up

@mumof23188 I think I may see the faintest of lines, but it could be an indent. How are you feeling?

I'm CD8 today and I think I may ovulate on CD13. But I've ovulated as early as CD11 before, so it's all possible. I have my doctors appointment on Monday so she can probably tell me when ovulation is likely to occur and how everything is looking. Hoping to get some information on follicle size, so I know how stressed I need to be about TTC'ing at 38...

Once before the week before lockdown when my stress levels were ridiculous and our Australia trip had been cancelled. Since then the highest it goes around ovulation is 74

Thought I would update you guys on how my rhr is since I got my bfp
