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!

@Mrsi2020 yeah it’s just when I give them a squeeze! Which of course I keep doing 😂. Got some CM too which is a bit snotty, sorry for TMI!! But I have zero second line on my OPK’s and all last cycle I had a good second line and even some positives so I just know I’m out.

Ahhhh wow!!! That’s amazing!! Massive congratulations ❤️

Well I’ve been revised back up to 59 today on Fitbit so no idea what’s going on. I was kinda hoping an implant dip but never mind 😂

@Mrsi2020 wow what a fab line! Congratulations 🙂

@mumof23188 haha what did I say to you last month, they’ll be sore because you’re squeezing them 😂 mine are quite sore but same only when touched, I have a bit of awareness when I’m going up and down stairs without bra, almost like they’re swollen

Lol girls at us squeezing our boobs , I’m not normally sensitive so it’s noticeable for me. I didn’t test with opks Since ov. It’s a nightmare process this isn’t lol.

I’m v anxious and just got this...... xxx

@Mrsi2020 getting on a digital is basically all but confirmed, congrats! How many DPO are you?

Hi Ladies,

I think I ovulated Saturday. Is my HR giving anything away? Xx

It was 53 Saturday now 57 xx

Hi guys I’m currently cycle day 16 normally ovulate around day 20 and the HR is starting to rise so I’m gonna get on the deed doing.
I don’t have any OPK strips to make doubly sure but after 9 months of seeing the pattern I’m fairly confident.

Congrats @Mrsi2020for your BfP

@LS2020 10dpo today xx

@biglucy sorry no idea!

@Kona84 thanks hun! Yes get on it? Have you tried temping? Honestly far handier, once a day and thermometer was only £10 . If this preg doesn’t end well I won’t use opks when they’re finished. The bbt charting seems better! Xxx

@Mrsi2020 hmm my graph doesn’t look as good as yours! Feel a bit stuck as thought would test tomorrow depending on if/how far it’s gone up today and it’s gone up by a minimal amount 😂

@BigLucy it depends on what it normally does. Up after O is generally a good sign though.

@Kona84 yeah I don’t think I’ll bother with OPKs again as when they work they turn positive when I expect so just going to roll with what the app tells me

@LS2020 how many dpo are you?

Here’s my latest...

I don’t know if it’s a bad sign? Should today’s be significantly darker? Should my rhr be rising? Should my temp be rising? 🤣 xxx

Hey ladies, attaching my grandsons as an FYI. Obviously I said I wouldn’t POAS again but I did as a huge early pregnancy sign for me seems to be the inability to sleep properly! Tests, BBT & RHR attached for anyone interested! X

@Mrsi2020 you’ve gotta think that HCG doubles a day though so say on day 9 it found 1HGU, it’s only 2 yesterday and 4 today so probs isn’t that different whereas tomorrow will be 8, next day 16 etc. You could also be someone who has more concentrated on an evening if you were getting digits yesterday.

RHR and temps all look good! Looks like you implanted on day 6 so you’re still early days for HCG 😊

I’m 9dpo but if I implanted I think it was Sunday night/Monday morning so don’t think it would show anything in best case for another day or two

@Littlebee1990 @Mrsi2020 ooh your RHR graphs are so similar! I think I’m deffo out this month now 😂

They are similar! What makes you think I implanted on day 6? You’re not out till af is here! Xxx

@Mrsi2020 your dip in temp and then your RHR was at normal level and shot up from there. Plus if you got your first hint at 9 days, you have to be 48 hours past implantation so makes more sense than day 7 😊

@LS2020 oh yes! That makes sense!! Thanks ! It’s all so technical 🤣 the temping is the most straightforward I think xxx

@Mrsi2020 @Littlebee1990 both your tests are super positive today ☺️.

With my last pregnancy I didn’t even get a hint of a line til 13dpo!

@LS2020 good luck for testing! Your HR looks promising too.

Mine is just rubbish this month so I know I’m definitely out! Roll on October!

@Mrsi2020 yeah I really want to temp but I’m a rubbish sleeper so not sure it’d work too well. I’ve seen there’s an OvuSense which is like £100 which is like a tampon and does the same thing but I tend to ovulate pretty regularly so can’t justify the money!

@mumof23188 if it goes up again tomorrow I might get excited but have to see 😂 ah that’s so annoying, some times mine doesn’t go up til 5 days before AF so you’ve got time!

@LS2020 ahh you are good for waiting. Fingers crossed for you! I’ve just ordered a bbt. I just know I’m out. You know when you just know?

@mumof23188 sadly too long being disappointed, I actually shy away from testing 😂 yeah that’s what I was like last month. Just knew. Tbf I feel like that this month but I’ve actually had my best symptoms so I’m v confused haha

Lines are looking good ladies!!
I don't know what my HR is doing this cycle haha what does it normally do in days 2-10?
I've had a big drop of 3bpm today and I'm cd6

@LS2020 I’m not a great sleeper either! Fingers crossed for you!

Girls yous are wild good waiting haha I can’t!

I just poas again, I’m really liking the clear and simple tests from b&m , the lines came up really quick xxx

@LS2020 oh I can imagine 😩 it must be so tough when you’ve been trying for so long! Crossing everything for you this cycle 🤞. What symptoms do you have?

@SarahTTC2020 I honestly have no idea! Mine seems to be different every month!

@Mrsi2020 wow!! What a line 💕 how are you?

So for some reason I decided it was a good idea to use an IC!! No idea why! Must of missed peeing on something!! I feel like I see a shadow or something. Probs not tho! Can you see anything tiny?!!

@SarahTTC2020 mine always tanks over AF and goes to its lowest point so sounds fine 😊

@Mrsi2020 and you find temping still gives you a reasonable result? I’ve been worried would just give me numbers all over the place!

@mumof23188 thank you! I’ve had really sore boobs much earlier than normal, constant heartburn, yellowy/bloody CM on CD8, vivid dreams and randomly got thrush (which is the weirdest sign ever but apparently is a sign of high estrogen which doesn’t happen on a normal cycle)
I can kinda see what you’re saying but think it might just be indent, you’ve still got a little longer to go but fx for you!

@LS2020 wow! Sounds super promising, especially the CM! Are you still waiting til the weekend to test? Thank you! Atleast I know I’m not crazy 😂. Was the last one so no more testing for me!

So I’ve been away for a little while. Feeling SO deflated. So after not picking up a positive or anything even close on opk’s this cycle, I gave up testing a while ago. I’m currently on cd30 (af has arrived cd29 the last 2 cycles). No sign of af, negative tests. I’ve no idea what’s happening. I mean i don’t think for a second i could be pregnant, I just assume I didn’t ovulate. But now I’m just here waiting for an af that might or might not show up, I’ve no idea if I might just go into a new cycle and so no idea when to start testing with opk’s again. Just feel super bummed out right now.
Having just had good day 2 and day 21 test results too. Just makes me think that was a fluke month and I really am in perimenopause 😔

I’ve attached my Fitbit graph, not that it means a bloody thing seeing as I’ve no idea when/if ovulation happened. The date marked on it was cd1.
