Hellloo. Is anyone else starting TTC for next cycle in January? I've got a DD who's 6 but I do feel a bit like i haven't done this in a while so just wanted to chat. 🙂

I did a one step this morning and it's very faint still :(

Qwerty93 · 13/01/2025 07:44

Mines dropped again to 60bpm 😢

@Mama09876 thanks for explaining and sharing your charts! Your bbt chart from your first pregnancy looks like it had an implantation dip around 6 DPO. Also, you seem to have a low follicular phase temp like me! Which makes me feel better as I was worried it was too low and my luteal phase temps were too low also which may mean there's an issue

I didn’t realise there high/low temps in phases can indicate issues, I just thought everyone would have a different temp depending on their bodies/environment etc 😂 I get temp increases for pregnancy.

i haven’t done my bbt for over a year now, up in the night and just keep forgetting 🤦🏼‍♀️ I am thinking if it hadn’t worked this month I’ll start tracking again next month.

How many DPO are you currently?

@Qwerty93 also - my BBT has dropped this morning?! It was 36.38 but was 36.63 yesterday! So that wouldn't suggest pregnancy as it should stay high or go up right? First cycle TTC and I'm finding it all so confusing 😅

This was my BBT with my first, you can see there was some little drops here and there but it steadily rose and kept above the baseline, what I found was a sharp drop indicated my period was on it way.

Mama09876 · 13/01/2025 07:18

@Fluffydino21 that’s great news!

I think @Qwerty93 is right, when I was trying for my first there was a lot of groups on here tracking RHR as it’s a sign of early pregnancy, @brycequinny yours is looking very positive for sure! Increasing each day.

I didn’t see a slow rise till about 10dpo onwards with my first.

Just following my post yesterday RHR by the end of the day came right down and stayed the same as the previous 2 days, so god knows now 🤷🏼‍♀️ I was feeling optimistic yesterday not so much today.

@Qwerty93 thanks for explaining. It was up by one beat again this morning to 84. I am now CD 21 so if it continues to go up after this then hopefully that means pregnancy?!

@Qwerty93 that would be the dream. I'm currently sat in bed and it's 115. I don't understand how it's a predictor of pregnancy though? And I can't find anything online?!

Oh yeah. So the 115 will just be your heart rate now…. It’s the resting heart rate. Which I think is mainly monitored when you are asleep and updated the next day.

maybe conpare it to last months. Mine are all up and down… but when I was pregnant it was on a straight upwards trajectory.

basically it’s probably the hormone progesterone staying…. Or simply your body is working harder as it’s pregnant.

Qwerty93 · 12/01/2025 23:27

Although I guess I could be wrong, but I swear by it… but deffo if stays higher that what your base is pre ovulation, so it can dip, but just not return to base haha

Hi everyone, can I join please? ☺️

I've just had a read through all the posts about RHR. I'm attaching a pic of mine from my Fitbit. I ovulated on Monday. Does this just mean progesterone is increasing because I'm in my luteal phase? Or is it an indicator of pregnancy?

again, I’d be very surprised if you weren’t pregnant based off that!

Hi all,

Update much sooner than I was expecting…

I kept noticing weird signs so I took a test, still thinking it was maybe a bit early and got a positive! Trying not to think too far ahead as I know it’s still so early.

@Qwerty93 you we’re definitely onto something with the resting heart rate.

I also noticed I was really slightly out of breath and had a bit of a congested nose which were apparently symptoms.

Brilliant! 🤩. I’m so happy for you!

the RHR is deffo one… I’m hoping that today was implantation and it dipped because of that haha!

secretly I know I’m out… but I’ll cling on to the hope.

im 8DPO at the minute. What are you @Fluffydino21

That's interesting about the evening primrose oil, what's the benefit in having a longer luteal phase? Not heard of it before!

Show quote history

Apparently if you take it before ovulation is can help lengthen it, and some studies have shown it helps with PMS symptoms - not that I really get that many but thought it can't help! You def shouldn't take it after you ovulate though. It probably does nothing but makes me feel better to be doing something lol. My LP is 11 days usually which is within the acceptable range but I just think the longer it is the more time there is for the little embryo to stick!

Sorry @Qwerty93, I didn't realise I'd cut off the key at the bottom. Here it shows what each thing I've logged is.

Also, the blue line turning to green on the chart is my wrist temp at 5am every morning and the brown line just below it is my RHR.
