Tracking your cycle and possible BFP using RHR - part 3

[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!

@Juno231 you’re v good at it ! Lol

Are you 3dpo today aswel did I see that?

I changed that , it recorded my bbt at midnight but it was actually the normal time . I’m scared twice isn’t enough esp when we kissed dtd on ov day 😭 xxx

@Mrsi2020 although tbf you're more likely to conceive if you DTD before OD as the swimmers take a while to get to the egg so it's best if they're already there waiting!

I'm 8DPO :)

Thanks!

Will you test early? Are you on the lookout for any implantation dips? You haven’t long to wait now. I find this wait hard, even when af comes even tho it’s crap there’s a relief from the limbo alone. Obv bfp be ideal. But I find the TWW a torture lol!! Fingers crossed for you altho I think we would still need your leadership skills for the couple of threads lol! Xxx

@Mrsi2020 thank you lovely! Dreading it! Fingers crossed for you too.

@Juno231 8dpo, wow! Good luck 🤞 I cannot wait to see you get your BFP ☺️

@Mrsi2020 I'm really trying not to this cycle! Let's see how long I'll last 😅. My temp has had a big dip today but that's not unusual due to a secondary oestrogen surge at this stage of the TWW. I'm secretly hoping the temp will go up a lot tomorrow and not just straight back to where it was though. My RHR is static at 65 for like the third day in a row? So hoping that will start going up as well!

@mumof23188 ah thank you, that's really sweet of you - I'm afraid it feels like it's never gonna happen 🙊. I still can't believe that my friend who started ttc after me is giving birth in Nov and I've yet to have a single bfp...

@Fran2020 how are you doing x

Hi all, been away for my spa weekend so good to catch up on what you’ve all been up to. I’m 2dpo, finally got a nice trend on my OPK and got a peak confirmed when I expected and my RHR looks like it’s finally playing nice!

I’m due AF on holiday as well so trying to work out when is best to test. Think I’ll do day before I go and take a strip with me just incase. OH is due to get his SA results on Monday and then GP is referring us on to specialist depending on his results so hoping we get the ball moving 🤞🏻

@Juno231 rang my GP and they’re only doing day 3 bloods on me and then referring me on 🙄 bit annoying but hopefully a fertility specialist will send me for anything I need

@Juno231 ah I know what you mean but it will happen and hopefully sooner rather than later for you. I think we all feel like that when TTC. I know I did with my two DC. When are you testing?

@LS2020 hope you had a lovely time ☺️. Ah that’s looking good, nice rise going on there. When are you going on holiday?

So apparently 1dpo. Had the worst cramps last night so think I definitely ovulated. Managed a quickie yesterday afternoon but no DTD last night 😩. Don’t think I’m in for much of a chance this month. My HR is also not doing anything a dropped one!

@mumof23188 go on the 12th and think AF is literally due on the 13th so at least means I can drink if she shows!

It looks like yours rises after O though so hopefully your RHR will start to build. When will you be due AF?

@LS2020 lovely! Where are you going? Yes Atleast you will know. Fingers crossed for BFP 🤞 but yes if she shows you can have some drinks. That is very true. Hopefully it will start to rise! Well due to ovulating early Premom has me down for a 25 day cycle and apparently it’s due on the 14th!

@Juno231 how’s your rhr and temp? Xxx

@mumof23188 off to Lanzarote. Works cleared me to wfh for quarantine so v excited to go as long as they don’t stop international travel! Thanks, well I can’t have been more chilled out at a spa this cycle so if it doesn’t work this time then saying don’t stress about it is absolutely rubbish 😂

@LS2020 sounds like heaven to me! Brilliant that you are able to work from home for the quarantine! 😂😂 agreed.

@Fran2020 hope you are ok lovely 😊

@ls2020 ha I'm doing the same - flying this Sat but testing on Friday to make sure I'm all clear for boozage.

@Mrsi2020 my rhr is just doing its own thing, I can figure it out at all! Just waiting to see it fall instead :( temp did shoot up today after that big 8DPO dip yday so that's good at least.

@mumof23188 hopefully won't test until Friday!

Oops forgot to attach my chart

@Juno231 yayy for temp! That means more than rhr! I’ve seen you say a few times that the rhr can go like that! Temp is defo more reliable, god I’m crossing everything for you! How have you not poas today ? Aren’t you 9/10dpo today? You deserve a medal if you refrain until Friday lmao xxx

This is my chart - not sure what it means? I think I have to hopf wait for an implantation dip potentially ?? Who knows lol xx

@mumof23188 yes but now Ryanair have done their £5 seat sale, can see Boris coming out with shutting our airports down 🙃 well my RHR is certainly doing what it wants.. it normally drops after O so now I’m a bit worried my OPK was a false reading but we’ve been DTD basically daily so hopefully ok.

@Juno231 ooh temp rise on 8dpo is a good sign! I’m kinda wistfully thinking that I may get pg this month just to spite the fact I spent a lot of money on an all inclusive and won’t be able to drink any of it 😂

@Juno231 fingers crossed for Friday! Where are you off to on holiday? Must admit I am a bit envious 😂 I’ll be back to doing school runs 😩😂.

@LS2020 hopefully he won’t 🤞. Wow that looks really good. Such a nice rise!

So I am 2dpo and HR is dropping! Never dropped before so I am a bit concerned 😩

5dpo and small rhr drop? I know it can mean nothing xxx

Hey ladies, been absent for a while waiting for a bloody 51 day cycle to end!
Cd2 now and I don't really know what my rhr is doing 🤷🏼‍♀️ it didn't dip before AF but then 51 days isn't normal anyway.
Had my 3 day bloods taken today so will wait and see what the results are and start DTD next week

@mumof23188 yeah is a good rise but a bit odd for me - I normally get your graph, straight back down and then it rises about 7dpo so don’t worry too much!

@SarahTTC2020 glad you finally got your day 3 bloods done but that is a v up and down graph. Mine normally falls for AF. Do you sleep badly sometimes?

@LS2020 that’s a good thing then that it’s totally out of the norm for you. How many Dpo are you now? I feel like I’m out before I’ve even got going!

@SarahTTC2020 oh Sarah I’m so glad your long cycle has ended! Brilliant that you had your bloods done too. Hope you are doing ok!

11DPO, temp has gone up a little bit and RHR has gone down 1bpm. Tested today and BFN so think I'll have AF show her ugly face this weekend. Cycle 9 yaaay...

@SarahTTC2020 I'm glad you got your day 3 bloods taken and that you can finally join us in a new cycle!

This reminds me - got my day 21 results back yesterday and all is fine. Next step is SA I guess!

😔 @Juno231

I don’t know what to think this month although I expect AF will show her ugly face here too. I’ve attached this month’s and last months charts. I didn’t return to my normal RHR no idea why, hoped it might work in my favour but I’ve had weird contractiony sensations the last few days so I expect she’s on her way

Thanks ladies! Excited about DTD again soon 🤣🤣
@Juno231 good that your day 21 was fine, how does oh feel about SA?
