Tracking your cycle and possible BFP using RHR - part 4

Hi ladies,

This is for all of us with heart rate monitors who wish to help each other analyse the RHR patterns throughout our cycles.

Early research shows there's a correlation with increasing RHR and BFPs - so let's try and spot some together!

Here’s my FRER from this morning! I don’t think this is anything at all. I went to the supermarket and can you believe the tests were all sold out😱 only had own brand and I’ve read awful things about them on here so didn’t bother!

@LS2020 still a lovely rise for you 🤞. Frustrating though because you just want to see it go up! Yes your cycle may of changed after your chemical?

I’m 13dpo today though so I think something should of shown? I’ve just done an IC and I swear there is a line?

@Moominmiss congrats again lovely. Beautiful line 😍

@GlassLily how short are yours as on another thread someone got put on progesterone to lengthen their LP so could be worth speaking to doctor about?

LS2020 · 11/11/2020 10:38

@Moominmiss I would call that a BFP and it’s getting stronger on your FRER 🤞🏻 Just keep testing each morning with FMU that’s all you can do I think. Hope it’s lovely and stick for you

@GlassLily as moonminmiss says, it starts the day after O I think

Moominmiss · 11/11/2020 10:25

That’s how ff counts etc too

Moominmiss · 11/11/2020 10:25

@GlassLily I’ve always counted from the day after ovulation. So o is 0, then 1dpo etc

GlassLily · 11/11/2020 10:22

Hi, just catching up after a little break. When calculating your LP length, do you include ov day? Mine is quite short so 1 day of difference could be v important!

Congratulations @Alicespring!!

Moominmiss · 11/11/2020 10:06

13dpo here. Had my first vv faint frer 11dpo. Cheapies are still barely there so remaining extremely cautious after so many chemicals. Af was either due yesterday or is due tomorrow.
Temp dropped slightly today, as did rhr.

@Alicespring congrats on your bfp, what awesome lines!!

@mumof23188 stuck at 60 at the moment been sort of floating round 61 mark last couple of days though, they go up and down over day. If I have a 14 day LP it’s due Sunday but if I go back to normal cycle length it’s Friday. I feel nothing though so don’t think it’ll be friday. When are you due? Oh my gosh that’s an amazing rise!! It could still be a bit early to test?

@Alicespring that’s more than understandable after a mc - make sure you get lots of rest and relaxation ☺️

@LS2020 @Juno231 @mumof23188

Thanks so much guys! Being cautiously optimistic for the moment, can't wait until I can relax and enjoy it a bit.

mumof23188 · 11/11/2020 09:49

@LS2020 ahh no 😩 it’s horrible isn’t it. What’s your HR stuck on? That made me laugh 😂 maybe you did! When’s AF due?

I’m annoyed aswell. Nothing going on here really. No BFP for me. HR clearly trolling me!

@mumof23188 in a mood as 10dpo and absolutely nothing interesting to report! RHR is pretty flat, had some intense nipple pain yesterday watching bake off but that was it - maybe I just liked desserts week 😂 how are you getting on?

@Juno231 have a fun couple of days 😉

mumof23188 · 11/11/2020 09:40

@Alicespring massive congratulations 😍 beautiful lines ☺️

@LS2020 how are you doing lovely?

@Juno231 yay to ovulation 🎉

@Alicespring I'm super excited for you! I started TTC in Jan so you're giving me hope as well :)

RHR has jumped 3bpm to 70 today so I think today might be OD!

@Alicespring I wouldn’t worry, probably a false negative if you’re getting such lovely lines on a CB and FRER! For my CP, I was getting digital positive results but couldn’t get anything on an ic, they were complete duds so ended up just throwing out. Congratulations ☺️

Alicespring · 11/11/2020 08:06

I took another first response rapid detection (not the early one) and they both came back positive. I did the other morrisons one I had (which is supposed to be more sensitive) with the same cup of pee and it came back negative?! Anyone else had issues with them?
Attached a pic of last night's test

[quote MissBPotter]@Alicespring ah bless you, such a horrible thing to go through, I had two before dd1. Lovely to have another bfp, agree about taking a break from the fitbit now!![/quote]
It is 😔
My boyfriend has just bought me the new versa 3 for Xmas too 🙈 maybe once I'm more out the danger zone I'll put it back on!

@MissBPotter from Jan. I had a miscarriage in December so basically tried as soon as I could after that 🙂

MissBPotter · 10/11/2020 18:48

@Alicespring congratulations! How long had you been trying if you don’t mind me asking?

Alicespring · 10/11/2020 16:09

[quote Juno231]@Alicespring I keep wondering how you're doing and here you come with a BFP and an amazing rhr climb at that!! Well done Grin. How many DPO are you?[/quote]
Aw thank you! I just needed some time away, we all know how stressful it can get!
Well I didn't actually track my ovulation this month, because I was trying to relax about it a bit, but I think about 13/14dpo

@LarasMama thank you! I think I'll wait till morning because I'm so bloody nervous I'm peeing every 2 minutes 😂

LarasMama · 10/11/2020 15:43
