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!

Anyone have a chart similar to this?
I’m not reading into anything at the mo as I’m only 3dpo but just love looking at peoples charts etc.
The red circle was the start of my af, the green is the first day of my fertile window, and the yellow was my ovulation day (confirmed with a positive opk the day before).

Would help if I’d attached my graph 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

@Juno231 Thats what I was thinking before I got the second high 🙈 I've taken ovulation day as being anywhere from Friday (peak in between the highs) to Sunday (where I marked as poss ov). Just awaiting AF arrival to give a bit more of an indicator as my luteal phase is always constant at 14 days.

Hello!!

I hope you don’t mind me joining this thread.

I’m currently 12/13dpo. I have circled a possibly ovulation dip on the pic below but was due AF yest but no sign of her as yet.

On the second dip (29th June) I had the weirdest pain around my belly button, going right down to my belly button. Almost a stinging inside!!

Heart rate has gone up again today.

I tested Monday with a BFN and I have no more tests so unsure whether to get one or wait to AF shows (I hope she wont 🤣).

I have no symptoms at all except 2nd day of a constant headache and a few cramp type pains last night.

I have also been taking pregnacare vitamins which I have heard delays periods?? Although ovulation normally happens for me on day 14 (usually 25 day cycle).

Hope you are all okay xxxx

Here's my chart for reference. I got a BFP 10 days ago which I've circled and I tested on the day my AF was due. My RHR didn't seem to do much at all during the month compared to previous months, and at one point I was even wondering if I had ovulated. I don't use OPKs.

I did have a couple of symptoms though - I had a horrible taste in my mouth and was burping a lot for about a week and a half before AF was due. Which is weird as that seemed to start very early in the TWW!! I also felt very dizzy and lightheaded on the day AF was due which is why I tested. My boobs were also a bit sensitive at the sides by my armpit - they don't usually hurt.

I didn't have any increase in CM and I checked my cervix and it was low-ish and hard the whole way through the TWW.

This one is clearer for showing the whole month. First circle is AF and second is BFP.

Mines gone up again to 84bpm and now only 7dpo

I'm starting to climb! Marker is confirmed ovulation by BBT at 45BPM. I'm at 52BPM now 🤞🏻

@BuffaloMozzerella congrats! Thanks for sharing your chart ☺️ how many days DPO are you now?

@Willowfalls how're you getting on?

@ambs1994 that's crazy high!

Another 69 for me today so still staying high at 7DPO. My last two cycles my RHR started dropping at 8DPO (I feel like I may have said this yday already so please forgive me) so I'm eagerly awaiting tomorrow's result!

@BuffaloMozzerella thank you for sharing! really helpful to see ones where it didn't skyrocket in the TWW already, gives the rest of us hope!

@meb89 still no af! Rhr has dropped 4 beats to 74 :(. Wondering if pregnancare has delayed my periods. Testing tomorrow! Haven’t tested since mon and af was due tues. how are you getting on? Xx

@Willowfalls oh no! I was worried about pregnacare so I'm trying the seven seas ones. Well it's positive that she hasn't arrived yet! 🤞🏻

I'm only 5DPO 🤦🏻‍♀️ feels like such a long wait 😂

Hey guys!

Wow this thread has moved fast from when I first started it a few months ago 🙈. I'm still doing my best to TTC and getting nowhere 🙄 with a couple of chemical pregnancies thrown in I felt like I needed to take a step back from forums for a bit.
I have attached my chart with ovulation circled in green (ignore the big peak I was hungover) currently 10dpo and waiting for the usual drop in RHR that will probably happen which means another month of trying 😭
Congrats to everyone with BFP. Really hope its my turn soon 🤞

@Willowfalls
Pregnacare delayed my periods by a full week. I now use boots own brand folic and vitamin d

So sorry to hear you have had a hard time :(.

Did pregnacare delay your ovulation too? Xx

@Alicespring sorry it wouldn’t let me tag you in the post above! X

@Willowfalls

Thank you 🙂

No it never seemed to delay ovulation just my period. I never read the reviews before I tried it either but would never take it again as it just gave me false hope!

I've taken Pregnacare Conception for about a year now. It hasn't affected my cycles at all. Used OPKs for the past two cycles and I have Peak on CD11. 😊

How long did you take it for? I have taken 27 tablets 😫. Guessing I will be out this month if that’s the case (unless I am very lucky). Had normal period cramps tues night & last night but no show! Xx

Pregnacare has maybe lengthened my LP by 2-3 days but I think that's a good thing as it was too short before. It's supposed to be the Vit Bs in there that does it but to me that implies it was probably needed and it's actually a correction? A good length LP means better chances for successful implantation after all!

Hi - so glad I found this thread! First time using mumsnet but I am going out of my MIND looking at rhr on my Fitbit and I’m glad i’m not alone in this. By way of background - I had a missed mc in February, first pregnancy and absolutely devastated. Back to ttc and no luck so far. Only recently heard about the rhr link with early pregnancy (and looking back at my Fitbit from when I fell pregnant I now see what people are talking about as it flew up!) the annoying thing now is every cycle I find it difficult not to obsess over it :-(. Currently on around 3dpo and I can’t think about anything else it’s driving me insane. I go through phases of being okay about everything one minute and then fighting back tears the next - it’s such a confusing and stressful time, and having a mc has really taken the innocence out of the whole thing x

@Fran2020 thank you :) what is your usual cycle if you don’t mind me asking?

@Juno231 very good point. Mine does need lengthening. The last few months it doesn’t go past 10.

Hoping this isn’t the case this month and that my bfp makes an appearance instead 🤣🤣

Af is here!! Will try next month :) x

@Willowfalls It's been 26 days for past 2 months. Before that is varied with maximum being 31 days. But I think previously I've had confusion with which day a cycle has actually started on due to the spotting I get!
