Tracking your cycle and possible BFP using RHR - part 2

[Juno231]

Hi ladies,

This is for all of us with heart rate monitors who wish to help each other analyse the RHR patterns throughout our cycles.

Early research shows there's a correlation with increasing RHR and BFPs - so let's try and spot some together!

See attached my current chart - at 10DPO my RHR is at it's all time high this cycle and has not started to decline for AF yet. Fingers crossed!

Oh and rhr took a slight dip , but fat burn yest was high wtf xx

@Mrsi2020 I thought that too but thought I was just seeing things I wanted to! Did you see anything on your IC? It’s so hard to get a picture of them! Wow that’s mega fat burn!!

@Mrsi2020 I find your fat burn thing really weird, mine only goes into it if I exercise or am walking somewhere so it's usually under 2 hours a day

11dpo for me today and a 2 bpm rise but still only 57bpm

I’m sure there’s a shadow on yours. Couldn’t see anything on my ic. Af due Sunday, I’d say I’m out. Never buying Tesco tests again, both were positive . The clearblue 6 days early ones are super sensitive too xx

@SarahTTC2020 so do i! Mine is normally between 2-4 hours of fat burn max a day and that’s with exercising. I’ve done no exercise this week and hr is in fat burn all day

Have you tested? xxx

@Fran2020 @mumof23188 it’s similar to last cycle but very different to literally a year of other cycles before that. So on my pic, the really high 62 at the start? That jump is basically end of last cycle so had a really high jump up on 2 days before and then it dropped massively. It’s v strange, not sure why it’s changed

Ah glad you got a bit of a jump @SarahTTC2020!

@mumof23188 I really appreciate that!! 😊🤞🏼Hmm don't count yourself out just yet! YeH FRERs are so much better! Not that I've seen a positive on any type of test ever....

@Mrsi2020 Your fat burn time is so crazy high!! Really hope it means you get your BFP.

@LS2020 hmmm very strange!! Guess just see what happens then. 😊

@Mrsi2020 I think there might be a little something there?! Not holding out any hope tho. You can’t be out with that HR surely. When you testing with a FRER? Mines also due Sunday/Monday.

@SarahTTC2020 ahh good luck 🤞 are you going to test?

@LS2020 that is super strange, why the sudden change! Good luck 🤞

@Fran2020 your time will come and hopefully very very soon ☺️.

So 10dpo today. Woke up with the worst headache which has not shifted at all. Feeling crappy! I’ve taken the kids out for the day which is lovely as the heat has finally gone. I’m actually cold today 😂😂

@mumof23188 omg snap! Sore head today and took the kids out haha. I came across a boots too so picked up 2 frer 😱 not sure whether doing them is a total waste of money xx

I’ve had a few days like this recently where my he has been super high and up in the fat burn zone for hours.

I’m 100% not pregnant and just had af, but after googling it seems that sunbathing and being out in the heat and even just sitting inside but feeling overheated will cause your heart to increase massively where you heart is pumping extra fast so the extended times in the fat burn zone could be to do with the heatwave we’ve been having.

@Moominmiss that would make sense xxx

Definite bfn

@Mrsi2020 your RHR is still super promising - maybe you'll get a line slightly later this time? I know in the last few pregnancies you were getting them as early as 8dpo but tbf that is rare! I'm CD4 now so am a bit quieter as this is the most boring part of the cycle lol.

@mumof23188 didn't realise you were only 10dpo! fingers crossed you still get a bfp.

Cycle day 40 now for me. Not sure if I've just missed this period still. Not sure either to ring drs and see what they say about it. I've done a cb and still negative I think.

@Mrsi2020 hope you had a good day out and your headaches gone! Can’t believe was a BFN!! Give it a few days and I think we will be seeing a BFP from you!

@Juno231 yes 10dpo today! Still super early but I’m thinking I’m probably out! Hope you are well ☺️

@ambs1994 I’m really sorry but I can’t see anything. How frustrating that your cycle has messed up.

I had another fertility acupuncture session this evening, it's made me feel so relaxed! Around implantation too and have the lamp on my tummy. 😊🤞🏼

@mumof23188 keeping positive!! 😊 awww that sucks about your headache, how are you feeling now?

@Fran2020 ah amazing! Sounds great, glad you are feeling lovely and relaxed ☺️. My head is still pounding away. Had it since I woke up. Only have ibuprofen in the house which I am reluctant to take just incase!

@Fran2020 that sounds bliss!!

@mumof23188 thanks I imagine I’m out ! My heads still not great either! Tho I think it’s probs more the heat! Xx

@fran2020 that sounds amazing. Fingers and toes crossed for u huni x

@Mrsi2020 fingers crossed for you! When are you testing again? Was it hot where you are today? Was chilly where we are. 20 degrees and cloudy! I actually missed the sun today! Back to reality with the great British weather 😂

I live in northern Ireland so the weather here is crap at the best of times. It was roughly the same here but that’s considered warm here haha. I’d like to wait now until af comes. I may aswell be pissing on tenners with the tests. A frer at 10dpo I really think I’m out xx

@Juno231 I meant to reply earlier! Yes I know, you are right but i also don’t want to get my hopes up haha!

When do you start opks? I’m the same, quiet for 2 weeks of the month but consciously too or else it’s all consuming . Ttc can feel like it’s taking over your life lol xxx

@Mrsi2020 100% all consuming - it's like my whole life the past 8 months has just been waiting for the next thing - for FW to start, for OD, for symptoms, for AF and so on 🤯.

I'll start with OPKs and DTD every other day on CD9 I think. So far I've ovulated between CD11 and CD17 so need to cover my bases!

RHR and BBT dropped this morning, now AF is here. Onto the next cycle, who knows how long this one will be 😂
