Does anyone else use there heart rate monitor on there Fitbit to monitor when they have ovulated? Saw a post on here recently where someone was but can't find it now. Been reading up on it thought it would be interesting to see how many of you guys did?

I know!!! I have promised DH not to test before Saturday! It's easier for him though!!!!

ndo4000 · 02/05/2017 19:14

Oooooooh Floss! That is awesome!!!!!

flossyfloss · 02/05/2017 19:22

Thanks ndo just hoping sticks as I've had a few chemicals

I don't know how oh manage not to test, I am a serious addict Confused
I couldn't hold out but I really should and would avoid even knowing about the chemicals that way

dangle90 · 02/05/2017 19:56

Yeah it's easier said than done ndo!
I can deffo see that floss, fx it's a sticky one!

My rhb has gone down by 1 Sad could it still recover and go higher? I'm panicking this is another chemical Sad

ndo4000 · 03/05/2017 11:14

Hold tight floss. Fx that it sticks!!!!

ifeellikechickentonight · 03/05/2017 14:04

Mine's been consistently high since pg but still fluctuating up and down by a few beats per minute each day so I wouldn't worry too much floss, anyway a Fitbit isn't a 100% accurate measure of heart rate

flossyfloss · 03/05/2017 15:17

Thanks both Smile

I've done another test and it's definitely positive and came up really quickly.

We've waited so long for this and we're about to start IVF so I'm a nervous wreck!!

ifeellikechickentonight · 03/05/2017 15:43

Actually Flossy's post freaked me out a bit because after I replied I looked at my Fitbit and saw my RHR had dropped by 4bpm today! It's the lowest it's been since ovulation! But I just took another test and I think it looks good

dangle90 · 03/05/2017 16:03

I wouldn't worry flossy mine has dropped been dropping 1 and rising one a few days so I was thinking this same so I did a test with 2nd morning wee.
It's really hard not to worry isn't it.
That's a strong positive ifeel

Hi all and congrats to all who have had good news! Thought I'd add my data to the mix as I find this really interesting. I've plotted my BBT&RHR for this cycle (PCOS so long cycle) and there definitely seems to be a correlation. Expecting AF to arrive before the weekend, if not am going to test.

Fitbit & TTC
ifeellikechickentonight · 03/05/2017 16:17

Oh that's so interesting to see the correlation with bbt tentative. I don't know much about temping but does that like a promising chart? It doesn't drop back down

ndo4000 · 03/05/2017 16:28

Ooooh! Super interesting chart tentative! I too am waiting to see what this weekend brings!

I haven't told any of my real life friends that we are even thinking about ttc (will be v unexpected as we have dd10 and dd7 so most people have assumed that we are done). So being able to express my excitement on here is fab!

My HR has gone up another notch today.....

Tentativesteps133 · 03/05/2017 17:18

I think the HR looks promising (average over past 12 months is 52), the BBT less so and I'm not even sure if we DTD in my fertile window so I'm trying not to get my hopes up. I'll keep you updated though....!

flossyfloss · 03/05/2017 17:21

Sorry chicken! I'm a terrible worrier.

Thanks dangle! That's looks nice and dark! 👍🏻

ifeellikechickentonight · 03/05/2017 17:25

No worries floss I can get really worried about the tiniest little things these days!

MrsPicklesonSmythe · 03/05/2017 19:54

Hi all I'm new here, just noticed today that my heart rate seems high compared to last month wondering what it all means. I'm 6 dpo I think. I need to read back through the thread but can anyone tell me what they think of this please? X

Fitbit & TTC
ifeellikechickentonight · 03/05/2017 20:23

That's what mine looked like mrsp!

ndo4000 · 03/05/2017 20:27

Similar to mine mrs! No idea when I ovulated but AF due this weekend......

Fitbit & TTC
MrsPicklesonSmythe · 03/05/2017 20:54

Oh that's good to know chicken!

Fingers crossed for you ndo x

flossyfloss · 04/05/2017 06:55

So my tests are still positive :) not as dark as I'd like but I'm still only 11dpo! So shouldn't complain!

My rhb has gone back up thankfully!

The first increase on my chart was ovulation and the dip is implantation

Fitbit & TTC
ifeellikechickentonight · 04/05/2017 06:59

That's great floss, you have such a clear chart! Maybe see you over on Jan 18 antenatal board sometime soon Smile
This is a lucky thread!

angryladyboobs · 04/05/2017 07:09

Hi I just thought I'd post this. I was reading up on this earlier and saw this. It's interesting :)
