Tracking your cycle and possible BFP using RHR - part 6

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!

@LS2020 ha I know the drink! If it doesn't work I'd try prune juice mixed with apple juice or something to disguise it :)

@Juno231 my mum said that but can’t imagine anything worse! There’s an orange fibre drink I have so been downing that 😂

Hope so but kinda feel out already as my RHR is shooting up but it’s too early 🤦‍♀️

Juno231 · 23/08/2021 09:24

@LS2020 congrats on being PUPO! Sorry about the constipation - get on the prune juice! I'm so pleased your embryo was such a high quality, let's hope this is it

Thanks @mumof23188. Been resting up but progesterone has given me the worst constipation so I’ve been basically stuck on the sofa in pain all weekend 😫
Funny all the side effects from it are my normal TWW symptoms which I normally get excited about so really does show there is no way of symptom spotting!!

mumof23188 · 21/08/2021 13:08

@LS2020 amazing 😍. Crossing everything for you. Enjoy your rest lovely xxx

LS2020 · 21/08/2021 12:59

Thanks @mumof23188 I am officially PUPO and resting up on the sofa ❤️

mumof23188 · 21/08/2021 12:50

@LS2020 oh my gosh. That is absolutely fantastic news. Hope it all went well for you. Now time for your little egg to get comfy ☺️🥰

LS2020 · 21/08/2021 09:14

@gezelligheid the arm pain is awful isn’t it?! That’s the main thing I had.
I think you should be in with a good shot, good luck!!

Some good news from hospital - embryo is 5AB so second highest grade it could be at current stage and the woman on phone said it looks as good as they’d hope for at this stage so all ready to go for 11am 🥰

gezelligheid · 21/08/2021 08:42

It went down the day of the jab, then yesterday which was the day after the jab it went back up :) my arm is still killing too Sad

LS2020 · 21/08/2021 08:14

@gezelligheid I think you probably have ovulated then. I sometimes get that when my and OH have DTD loads around the time of ovulation. Surprised your RHR went down after the jab, mine shot up both times!

gezelligheid · 20/08/2021 17:40

@LS2020 just went, turning a bit white like watery milk (sorry if that's tmi!) but my rhr dropped yesterday and went back to ovulation day bpm today so I dunno. Had the second covid jab yesterday so honestly not feeling up to DTD today lol.

We DTD on 13, 15, 16, 17 and 18th and apparently ovulated on the 18th. Hopefully that's enough cos I feel too run down today for more Blush

LS2020 · 20/08/2021 17:26

@Juno231 yes! There’s a maccies over the road so will deffo be there for lunch given the time and then I’ve had two pineapples turn up in tonight’s shop 😂 I think I start it tomorrow.

Thanks all x

@gezelligheid is it stretchy or just wet? If stretchy sounds like you might be ovulating later, if it’s just wet that can sometimes happen

gezelligheid · 20/08/2021 16:19

Sorry that is posted multiple times! As you can see, RHR rose for ovulation then dropped 1bpm and now back up again.

gezelligheid · 20/08/2021 16:18

Hey guys, so this yellow arrow was supposed to be ovulation, but today I'm still getting lots of clear wet cm and have been for about 5 days now. Not stretchy but like water.

Has anyone had clear watery cm after ovulation or is it a pre-ovulation thing only?

@LS2020 brilliant news. Fingers and toes crossed for you

EveryMumDay · 20/08/2021 14:45

@LS2020 that's awesome news :) Good luck for tomorrow :)

Juno231 · 20/08/2021 13:44

@ls2020 ah great news so far! I will be thinking of you the whole time. Are you planning on doing the "traditional" mcds fries on the way home? Any brazil nuts/pineapple waiting for your TWW? aaah I'm excited!

OP posts:
LS2020 · 20/08/2021 13:25

@GlassLily @Juno231 thanks both! Had my hospital update and we are in a great place for day 4. My transfer is booked in at 11am tomorrow and then get a call from embryologist at 9am to confirm quality and grading. Said was no concerns noted in my file so hoping for the best 🤞🏻

Juno231 · 20/08/2021 09:30

@QueenLagertha great news! Just goes to show day to day blips should be ignored

OP posts:
GlassLily · 19/08/2021 22:23

@QueenLagertha that's great news! Congratulations! Sounds sensible to stop worrying... Enjoy being pregnant while you are pregnant. Hopefully that will be for 40 weeks! If it's not then it's not worth wasting any time worrying.

@LS2020 not long to go now! Come on, little egg 🤞🏻 you can do it!

LS2020 · 19/08/2021 19:43

@EveryMumDay this limbo of waiting for day 5 news sucks but we will get there! I’m off work tomorrow so can’t tell if that’s better or worse. Day 5 is Saturday 😂 are you thinking of early test or waiting til AF time?

Thanks @GlassLily they said no more updates til Saturday morning now. They’re calling tomorrow to book me in so going to ask on that call. I did ask them to ring if it stopped progressing to let me know and not had anything yet… we paid for a special thing where they take pics every 10 mins and they basically implied they wouldn’t look at til Saturday anyway now but what’s the point of doing this extra thing we’re doing then?!

@QueenLagertha what an exciting update!! Please let us know how you get on with :) if you’re still worried, a GP will probs do you a beta test now

QueenLagertha · 19/08/2021 14:24

@GlassLily thank you. RHR shot up today and line darkened more on FRER. That's my FRERs all gone now except for a few cheapies so I'm going to accept that I actually am pregnant now and stop testing. 🤞🏼 plus I feel awful today.

@LS2020 wishing you a sticky bean ❤️

GlassLily · 19/08/2021 13:19

@LS2020 so glad you have started the process, and congratulations on your little fertilised egg 🥰 how long do we have to wait to find out how it's progressing? Fingers and toes crossed for you. And brilliant that you now have a better understanding of what might have been going wrong when TTC - knowledge is power!

GlassLily · 19/08/2021 13:16

@QueenLagertha I have had 3 CPs and they all had fainter lines than that, which didn't get darker the way yours has. The rhr drop is worrying, but I'd keep fairly positive for now based on the lines.

Hope it sticks for you 🤞🏻 all the best for what is bound to be a very stressful few days! Reach out if you're feeling overwhelmed, so many of us have been there and it's not something you have to deal with on your own.

QueenLagertha · 18/08/2021 19:08

Thank you ladies. Will let you know.
Baby dust to you all ❤️
