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!

Had some period-like cramps today. Is it normal? At what point should I be concerned?

GlassLily · 05/11/2021 12:56

@gezelligheid awesome! What a great line!! So happy for you Smile

An update, today's test for line progression. Used the last of my poundland strips so just gonna use my frer so I can see that nice pink line and hopefully stop testing then aha.

Heart rate has increased again today Smile

@gezelligheid amazing!!! Congratulations 😍 looks like a great line to me. Good luck with your FRER. So exciting Grin

gezelligheid · 04/11/2021 20:42

Does the line look okay for being taken in the afternoon on the day AF is due?

LS2020 · 04/11/2021 20:34

@gezelligheid congratulations! Hope FRER goes well in morning 😊

GUYS I got a BFP on the poundland strips this afternoon. Gonna go get a FRER and use it tomorrow. Oh my god. Can't stop smiling! Grin

GlassLily · 04/11/2021 11:56

@LS2020 congratulations on your scan! Wonderful news!

@Kona84 congratulations, she is gorgeous!

@gezelligheid yes that looks exciting, has it ever been this high before? Fx for you! I don't think the drop after o is relevant, given it shot up around potential implantation time and stayed up.

gezelligheid · 04/11/2021 09:01

Ovulation is marked by the red arrow, and AF is due today. Is the rise looking promising, or am I pretty much out cos it dropped after O and took a while to rise?

Not got any tests so will have to go get some and do one tomorrow if AF isn't here. What do you think?

@Kona84 many many congratulations to you, your partner and family. She's adorable and such a lovely name too. Hope you all are keeping well 🥰

LS2020 · 02/11/2021 07:16

@Kona84 she is absolutely gorgeous - congratulations 🥰

Lovely scan photo.

I thought I would come to update,
I had my baby on the 17th October (the due date) we had a baby girl and have named her Edith. She weighed 6lbs 4oz
She is perfect in my opinion, the last 2 weeks have been a whirlwind and I haven’t had much sleep but I wouldn’t change anything.
My RHR is lower than before pregnancy. It started falling a day or 2 after birth.

@Juno231 thanks! Yeah my OH was surprised to find out that they’re there, all they do is mature and grow now. They were 5.8cm too which is a weirdly tangible size and that blew my mind!

@mumof23188 11th May so feels like ages but it is only actually 6 months away 🙈 it was so lovely, the weather was insane for end of October too - still about 23/24 most days. Not sure how much there is to do with kids - my parents were in Crete at same time and they seemed to have more to go out and do but weather didn’t seem as good

mumof23188 · 29/10/2021 20:51

@LS2020 wow look at your little baby ❤️. Beautiful! So happy to see your scan picture ☺️. When is your due date? We are hoping to go away next year so may look at Kos!

12 week scan today went well - measuring two days behind so new EDD but otherwise all looked really well. Amazing what they can see!

@GlassLily was fine on the way out even tho was being sick pretty much every day. Nauseas ebbed off and then was so nauseous on the plane was sick straight away when I got home.. bizarre! Hopefully will start feeling them for December then 🤞🏻 25 weeks is amazing! How are you feeling?

@mumof23188 we went to Kos, it was beautiful!

@gezelligheid bit different as IVF but it went up basically from what was about 4DPO, had a dip about 7-8dpo when implantation happened and then continued to rise from there.

Currently sitting at 76bpm and 25 weeks🤰

GlassLily · 28/10/2021 09:08

@gezelligheid here's my BFP chart, the line is ovulation - so it already looked promising from 4DPO when it reached 68bpm (higher than it's been before, even 1bpm higher than it got for any of my CPs). At the time, I thought it mustn't mean anything because it was too early. Who knows, maybe it didn't mean anything - I came down with a bit of a cold that week so maybe that made it higher?

But it didn't go down... Then at 8DPO my cold was a lot better and yet it went up to 69bpm... and that's when I thought, this might really be it! I made myself wait until 10DPO and I got a super faint BFP, then it all went in the right direction from there 🙂

@gezelligheid when I got my recent bfp before I miss miscarriage at 5 weeks, my rhr kept increasing after getting a peak on clearblue ovulation fertility monitor. 8th day after ovulation peak my rhr jumped by 4bpm, then I tested 14 days after ovulation peak as it remained high. Hope this helps somehow :)

gezelligheid · 26/10/2021 13:29

Those of you who got a bfp, how soon after ovulation did your rhr rise? Did it keep rising from ovulation or did it drop a few days and then rise?

mumof23188 · 26/10/2021 07:55

@LS2020 hope you the holiday was good? Where abouts did you go? I adore Greece! It’s our favourite 😍.

@LarasMama hello! Welcome back. Hope you are well? RHR is looking good 🤞
