Tracking your cycle and possible bfp with rhr on Fitbit.

[Alicespring]

I saw a thread about this back from 2019, a few people noticed their resting heart rate started to increase steadily after ovulation and they got there bfp. (Although people did report it rose then dropped before AF)

Just wondering if anyone on here has tracked and got a definite bfp?

I'm currently 10dpo and my heart rate has jumped from 60bpm to 67bpm since ovulation.

Not sure when my period is due as they are irregular.

Attached my chart too!

Hello. Do you mind if I join in here? I'm 12 DPO I think. RHR has never been a concern or though for me until now. I've just looked at my stats and it's been 59/60 for the last few months. I got my coil out on 08/06 and Fitbit said I was ovulating 11/06.. since that week 12/06 onwards it's gone from 63-68 and stayed this high...! I wish I could show my screen shots but I have no clue how to 😩

Ooh I think I've managed it!

@Fran2020 that is a strong leap, wishing you luck please keep us posted

@chrissagcat yours looks good too nice steady rise.

@MrsKin90 normally after ovulation I get. Steep drop then a slight up before AF and then a drop again

It dropped back by 1 yesterday so it was 68bpm. Today it's at 68bpm too so far. 🤞🏼 hopefully my tests will arrive today. Woken up with a nasty headache 😔

@Fran2020 1bpm is perfectly normal fluctuation so I wouldn't worry!
@chrissagcat fully expecting a BFP from you! How come you haven't tested yet?

@fran2020 I have taken 3 HGC strips in the past 5 days last one was Days ago but nothing! Not even a squinty! It's dropped by 1bpm today..do you think that's a bad sign? Light cramping but no AF yet and due tomorrow

@Juno231 sorry this was meant for you @Fran2020 we are same position! Keep posted!

I got my BFP last week via IVF and have been watching my Fitbit out of interest really. For the first few days my RHR stayed at 68 which is normal for me after ovulation. It has only just started to rise in the last couple of days and is now at 72 (I'm 4 weeks 5 days today) so basically I don't think RHR rises until you are about 4 weeks pregnant so isn't an accurate indicator of an impending BFP before that x

So this is a surprise - currently 8dpo and a sharp rise.

@ivfgottostaypositive we've had plenty of charts in here showing rhr rising just before AF, which is just under 4 weeks pregnant no? So that's exactly what we're looking for.

Also, considering how many have skyrocketed from implantation it's probably more individual than a blanket statement of having to wait post 4 weeks.

@chrissagcat are you planning on testing again? if you implanted on eg 10DPO you wouldn't really be getting a BFP until now!

@Juno231 ahh you are right. And on Sunday I had that lower cramping and now wondering if that was implantation. It's only first month TTC so don't want to get my hopes up

Question. Would I still be cramping the day before AF if I was pregnant?

@chrissagcat you could be yes, lots of women experience light cramps and even spotting during the first trimester. Is it a normal pre AF clue for you though?

@Juno231 well I've been on the copper coil and normally wouldn't have any real cramping. I want to POAS right now but my husband thinks I should just wait!

Ooh love watching this thread, my RHR was my first sign that I might be pregnant when I got my BFP and sadly my first clue something was wrong for my MC. Looks like you may have a few BFPs over the next couple weeks and can't wait to see them ☺️

Still following with interest! Can see some good rises there. Here is my chart. AF came for me 3 days early but I’ll add it so you can see. It’s been a very different month for me compared to the previous two.

This is the last 3 months!

Well that's me down another bpm. Due AF today. Was going to test now don't think there's any point ☹️

@chrissagcat oh dear 😟 you're still so high above where your RHR was before O so maybe it's just fluctuation? Admittedly the cramps and decrease in RHR would stop me from testing too but there's a reason everyone always says you're not until AF! And it's not an exact science this RHR business so anything could happen! 🤞🤞
I'm being extra positive for you... And extra negative for myself 🤦I tested today because I wasn't sure if I was 15dpo or 11dpo but got a BFN and no AF or AF symptoms so assume I'm only 11dpo! Don't feel hopeful now that I've got a BFN though! 😶 Don't usually test early so I'm a bit sad.

@MrsKin90 aw I know how you feel. I tested too and BFN this morning. Best to hold off a few more days/until AF arrives- chin up! What cycle are you on?

@chrissagcat I'm sorry, that sucks! Fingers crossed for you for next cycle. How long did you say you'd been trying?

Got my peak OPK yesterday so should be ovulating today. Pretty obvious by my chart hey? 😂

I've no idea what cycle I'm on any more 😂 I think 9? Maybe 8? My hubby thinks it's only been 6 so he's crazy. I've taken the approach of trying not to focus on how long it's really been. More than six but less than twelve.

@Juno231 wow yes! Go go go! Only first month so I'm totally nuts to think this is it. I have 2 DD already
