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!

Congrats @2alreadywantanother

Morning girls , I am also impatiently waiting for af altho I did order a femometer thermometer so I can track that ! Xx

@2alreadywantanother thank you for sharing your graph ☺️

@LS2020 oh boo!! It’s hard when you see it drop! Does yours drop before AF shows or after? I really hope it’s a no show for you!!

@Fran2020 no I didn’t bother because it’s that faint he wouldn’t be able to see it anyways 😂. How’s your HR today?

@Mrsi2020 how are you doing? Any symptoms at all? Did you not test again?

My heart rate decided to drop to 63bpm late last night but it’s gone back up to 64bpm!

Forgot to add mine drops the day before AF and AF is two days away so anxiously waiting to see what it does tomorrow!

@mumof23188 it’s a little bit early to have dropped so much, would have expected tomorrow with AF so maybe it will show today?! I’ve been googling people who didn’t get a RHR with a BFP and that’s made me feel better 😂

@LS2020 hope it doesn’t show!! Any symptoms yet? 😂 I will do the same today. I’m far to obsessed!! I keep googling positive OPK before period 😂

@mumof23188 not really except I’m usually really constipated before AF but I’m the opposite. Other than that, nothing. No bad skin, no sore boobs, no tiredness or nausea. Every month I swear I get less and less symptoms - maybe my body has given up!

@LS2020 I feel the same for me although I normally get to at least 60 before the AF drop so I just haven't had a rise this time if AF does show up tomorrow!
No AF symptoms yet, skin has been fine and I haven't had a day of randomly crying or wanting to kill my DH so we shall see! On previous cycles it's always come 14/15dpo and I'm 13 today

@SarahTTC2020 it’s so strange isn’t it?!
That’s what I’ve literally just wrote. I almost feel numb from how little I’m feeling! No cramps as well and always get cramps the day before :s bizarre!

My RHR seems to have plummeted today but AF isn't due until Thursday. I didn't sleep well at all last night and I had a really horrible vivid dream. 😔

@mumof23188 ahh ok, are you going to see what happens over the next couple of days? Really hope AF doesn't arrive for you.

@LS2020 did you find many people?! 😊

@LS2020 same! I usually am too. What do you usually get before AF?

@Fran2020 sorry you didn’t sleep well 😩. That’s meant to be a sign aswell, vivid dreams! Yes will wait and see. I looked at the FRER again today and the line looks much clearer. I know you shouldn’t take notice after the allotted time but I couldn’t help myself.

@Fran2020 that’s not the worst if you had bleeding yesterday, this could be your dip!
I found 2! One who’s went down a lot like mine and then about 16dpo went shooting up, 2days after AF was due and then one who looked a bit like @mumof23188 graph where it oscillated up and down for a bit so there’s hope!

@mumof23188 Usually just breakout on chin, craving salty stuff, tired and cramps - proper PMS type stuff haha

@mumof23188 Thank you! Been generally sleeping better than last month as I kept waking up really really early and not being able to sleep. Fingers crossed! 😊🤞🏼Hmmmm it's so hard isn't it, whenever I have taken a pregnancy test I've kept looking back at it at and at different angles!

@LS2020 Hmmm yeah maybe!! That would be good!! That's really interesting- thank you! There is definitely hope then 😊

This is my whole graph for this cycle.... yes I have a spreadsheet as the Garmin app always shows areally flat graph. 💁🏻‍♀️😂

@Fran2020 I would say I love the graph but I’m an accountant so don’t think that gives you any validation 🤣
Yeah it’s good to know it’s not a strict science, especially as there’s been a few good graphs here and shows not always a BFP either. I enjoy this more than I think I will temping tho as it’s not the exact science so can live in silly hope!

@LS2020 😂 I love a spreadsheet and graph too!! To be honest, when I look over all my graphs, they are very up and down. Hmm yeah, I'm not sure about BBT as I Trying to chill out more and that would probably make me obsess again. I like living in hope 😊

Thought I wouldnadd my chart for this cycle. Today I am on cycle da 28. Af due tomorrow. My bbt chart is totally different. I had a positive opk on CD14 so I'm 14dpo today. Think I am out due to all tests being negative. Xxx

@kerry0000 I think ur chart looks promising. Have u done any tests. I got my bfp few days b4 af was due

@fran2020 implantation dip possibly? Hope so for u

@2alreadywantanother I reeeeally hope so! 🤞🏼

Ok I am probably overanalysing everything now, but I seem to be having these word twitches in my stomach... anyone else had these?!

*weird

@fran2020 I had these during implantation.
Oh exciting

@2alreadywantanother oh really?!? 😬😬🤞🏼🤞🏼

I done a a test today and a few the last few days and so far bfn. No sign of af just yet. Have had cramps on and off. I've been having them for over a week now. Xxx

@fran2020 see attached. Now I'm predicting ov 3 days b4 ff which would add up with implantation dip and pains

@Fran2020 😁😁😁🤞🤞🤞

@2alreadywantanother very interesting graph! Thanks for sharing! Keeping my fingers crossed!

@mumof23188 Thanks!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Ok someone stop me... now I am outright symptom spotting... my boobs AND nipples(?!) Seem to now be looking way more veiny than usual. Am I imagining things?! 😬

@Fran2020 I never noticed anything with my previous pregnancies early on but lots of women experience breast changes after implantation. When are you testing?!!
