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!

Looks like my RHR is back down like usual! So strange to have a spike like that on CD1!

@Fran2020 sorry AF came. that is strange! What CD does your RHR increase?

This is my first month tracking from the start of my cycle. CD 9 today and had lots of EWCM, wonder when my RHR will start to rise?

@mumof23188 in my last cycle it increased on CD9 and CD23(11DPO). Then for this cycle it strangely increased on CD1! 🤷🏻‍♀️

@fran2020 I'm in the same boat! 🤦🏻‍♀️ scratching my head cos I've come back up to pre-AF readings on CD2 whuuuut?? I'm usually still heading down to a low until CD4/5 then a slow rise before a peak at fertile week. And my flow is definitely drying up, don't know what to make of it at all.
Think I might just ignore my RHR this month (ha! who am I kidding!?)

@mrswilso thanks strange!!! yeah I had a couple days of spotting, two heavy days of AF and now it's really light again! Weird!!

I had to post an early success story as I love reading people's BFP stories and I've been obsessing over my RHR this month. It continued to rise from the day of ovulation and tonight at 10dpo I got my first BFP! I know I tested too early and it could result in a chemical pregnancy but I am just staying hopeful and trying not to get too nervous. I had a chemical back in December but I didn't get an early BFP like this so I'm telling myself it's different 🤞

@chocohol omg congratulations!! That's so lovely to see. Fingers crossed for a super sticky bean!!

AF arrived for me yesterday and has properly started today with vengeance. I think I was a teenager last time I felt this crampy. Attached chart for scientific evidence. My RHR and BBT both behaved oddly this cycle compared to all the others and were very hard to figure out.

@chocohol congrats! And early bfps are the best as it means early implantation. Implantation on 11DPO onwards have an 82% risk of miscarriage so you're in with a good chance for this one!

I'm 5DPO now and my RHR has dropped gradually over the last two days (from 71 to 69 and today it's 68). I won't even have had implantation yet so trying to ignore the drop as it technically doesn't mean anything at this stage. Will be interesting to see how it goes the rest of the week!

Hi everyone,

I've been reading this thread for a few weeks now and waiting to figure out my own RHR.

AF started 12/6/20 and I got my peak OPK 25/6/20. I'm guessing I ovulated somewhere between 25-28th? BBT elevated 26/6/20.

The last three days I've stayed the same RHR at 46BPM. Anxious to where the trace will go!

@Juno231 that's an interesting fact about implantation!

@chocohol that's an interesting chart! Congratulations 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@chocohol congratulations! That's very promising with the RHR staying up

@MrsKin90 yes I'm the same last month my RHR was higher than any month so wondering if something has maybe kicked started for following months to come?! Wishful thinking possibly

My RHR has been really strange since AF started, it's really up and down! 🤷🏻‍♀️

@chocohol Congratulations on your BFP! Keeping positive for you! 😊

@meb89 it'll be interesting to see what happens next! 🤞🏼

Thanks everyone, fingers crossed.
Juno, very interesting and promising on early implantation 🤞
By RHR dropped by one today, but my CB test had a much darker line this morning. Lots of cramps all day, so will just have to wait and hope!
Sorry to hear of AF arrivals for some and good luck to those waiting to test.

@ambs1994 just tagging you here as I saw you asking on another thread!x

Thank you @chrissagcat

Hi everyone I'm 5-6 dpo, I ovulated really late this cycle, cd 24/25 and I usually have a cycle of 34 ish days. So due anywhere from Friday onwards according to my apps.
My heart rate has gone from 73 to 78/79 over past few days. My resting heart rate even when lying in bed has been over 100 and constantly in the fat burn zone.
I've had a severe migraine Saturday into Sunday, and then today and yesterday bouts of diarrhoea (sorry). I just feel absolutely awful within myself.

Sounds promising @ambs1994 fingers crossed 🤞

I’m on the rise today from 61 to 63 so hopefully gearing up to ovulate.

Mines now 81

@ambs1994 any chance you got ovulation date wrong? super high heart rate at 5/6DPO sounds strange but if it were 10 DPO.... Either way got my fingers crossed for a BFP for you!

I'm 6 DPO today and am on 68 RHR. Still pretty high compared to a low of 60 for AF. I think my RHR normally starts dropping 8DPO onwards so it's just a waiting game right now.

@juno231
Nope got my peak ovulation test cycle day 24 which is a week ago.
Would twins make a difference?

No idea what to think with my RHR this month. Doesn't seem to be any patterns! AF due in 3-4 more days. Think I'm out from cramps and spotting. BFN this morning at 10DPO.

@ltay2 yeah that is really all over the place! Did you never get a peak OPK this time?

@ambs1994 no idea - I guess it could though!

@Juno231 No I didn't get a peak, I tested a few times a day but unless the surge happened very quickly and I missed it then I didn't get one. I've never noticed an obvious peak OPK though as I only use cheap ones not CB so not sure if my surge is too quick for me to spot.

@ltay2 could have ovulated on the peak in between the two high readings? That would fit RHR wise and makes sense to have a high the day after a peak as it's tapering down?
