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!

@mrskin90 haha my OH thinks it's been 3 when we're on 6 so I feel you!

Have attached my RHR chart. I ovulated on the day/day after the 64bpm day highlted so 4/5 days ago. my RHR normally drops after ovulation back down to 50-54 ish then steadily increases until AF where it then drops again. So this is unusual! My BBT is also on the rise.

@buckingmad when are you due AF? Any symptoms?

@chrissagcat none apart from being exhausted but I blame the heat for that. AF is due 7th July give or take a few days.

Will keep an eye on my RHR and BBT and thinking I will test around 4th July which would be 12/13dpo

That's AF here now.

@Juno231 glad it isn't just mine that's lost the plot! Clearly he feels it a bit differently as it's 'not been that long' in his world and has been forever for me!! 😆
@chrissagcat I'm so sorry AF arrived 😟 your chart looked so positive before the drop! Make sure you're extra nice to yourself for a few days. Are you okay?

My RHR went up today at what is roughly 12dpo. I'm hesitant to be optimistic. Went from 68 to 70. I wonder how much boiling to death overnight effects it?

@mrskin90 hopefully it's not the weather! I wouldn't say my rhr has been affected by it but it's hard to say as ovulation is my highest rhr of the cycle usually. Fingers crossed for you!

@chrissagcat I'm so sorry :( All I can think of is that maybe implantation failed? Apparently over half of them do! So might have caused an initial spike of RHR and then realised it wasn't viable... Hope you're okay this AF and luckily it's Friday and hot so it's a great day to drown your sorrows in booze - I know that's what I would do!

1 DPO today and although we didn't manage to DTD yesterday (OH was MELTING, he suffers in the heat lol) we did manage O-1, O-2 and O-4 so I'm not too upset about the odds. I'm weirdly feeling optimistic about it!

I've been following this thread for a while as all things science intrigue me, So this has been going on for me, I don't want to get too excited but this really could be a thing right? 🤞🏻 this is cycle 3 for us but not yet had af since stopping the depo which my last one was january. Sorry for my rambling just not sure whether to get excited or hold off for another few days and test

This has happened to mine 😔 it seemed so promising before. I've had some spotting so I'm guessing AF is on the way. 😩 I really thought this was lucky cycle 12 with all the symptoms I had.

@Fran2020 we've not been ttc very long but I think I've thought every month that maybe I might be pregnant, our bodies can be a mystery at the best of times
Fingers crossed that AF doesnt show and bfp does

@juno237 I'm fine thanks - yes I'm asking DH to make a nice cocktail this evening- guilt free! I think you are right re the implantation failing as I really did feel something happening on Sunday with the cramps and looking back at my RHR it's never looked like the peak I had this week

@mrskin90 thank you I'm ok- I have two children and feel I have no right to be disappointed!

@Angelchops30 and @Fran2020 I had a massive peak too and definitely believe in the spike even though mine wasn't successful! Check this out

@chrissagcat I think in my head I'm holding out to test on the 1st, no idea why but I'm definitely hopeful, as I've also been tired, sore boobs and just and odd feeling of twinges maybe in my lower abdomen. My body also has played tricks on me in previous cycles though but never a rhr rise like this 🤞🏻 for us all

@Angelchops30 yeah same, but this month my symptoms seemed different and my RHR was definitely different. I think maybe implantation failed. Fingers crossed but I think AF is on the way. Good luck for your BFP!

@chrissagcat wow big spike there! Enjoy your cocktail this evening!

I've been following this for a little while. Ive just had a thought - I wonder if the rhr might go up during the hotter weather due to body temp increasing?

@BuffaloMozzerella hi, I can confirm that my RHR hasn’t changed in this heatwave. It’s still remaining at 61bpm

@mumof23188 Cross that idea off then!

@BuffaloMozzerella you would of thought it had an effect on it but going by mine it doesn’t. My heart rate In the day is elevated but I think your RHR sets itself when you are sleeping.

I’ve had a slight decrease today in line with the decrease in temperature.
I’m 10dpo on cycle day 30.
Ovia predicts AF 29th and Fitbit predicts 28th.

I had a massive headache yesterday.
Work has been pretty stressful and I cried (which normally takes a lot for me to cry)
I have felt like I’ve had a lot of energy.

Kona that's a teensy weensy dip! 😊 Looks promising and I'm sorry work made you cry but fingers crossed that extra sensitivity is a good sign too?
I'm 13dpo today and another rise just by 1bpm. Had nightmares all night 😟 I don't know if it's a symptom but they were all about someone or something trying to 'get me'. I think it's just my subconscious running from my period 😂.

@MrsKin90 hahaha running from AF.

Ive dipped further today back to 69.
Still don’t feel AF is on the way, but sometimes I have no pms symptoms at all.
I’m not gonna test now though until AF doesn’t arrive on the 29th

My AF started properly today 😔 weirdly my RHR has increased again.... 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Fran2020 sorry AF has arrived for you, this is all fairly new to me so no idea why your rhr has gone up again, sorry I can't be more helpful

@Fran2020 that's really odd!! Although sometimes my BBT chart starts to go back up the day after AF starts so maybe it's similar to that? 🤔 Very strange. Wonder if it'll come back down tomorrow?
@Kona84 not too long to go to find out! I hope AF doesn't arrive for you.
I was going to test tomorrow as I'll be 14dpo but I just don't want a BFN 😟 but the longer I leave it the worse it'll be. I said I'd test today if my RHR went up again but I chickened out. I really do wish there was a sign that made you sure before you tested.

@Angelchops30 @MrsKin90 Yeah I'm very interested to see what happens over the next few days!

Just updating with my chart for this month.
AF showed this morning after a lot of mild cramping and some light pink spotting yesterday afternoon.
I've marked AF in red, start of fertile week is the high yellow peak, and I suspect I ovulated around CD13/14 which is in green.
I don't know what to make of the lower peak at suspected ovulation...it makes me worry (for no real reason at all haha!) so I may invest in OPK for this next cycle.
Has anyone got any experience with this double peak in fertile week that may put my mind at ease?
