Tracking your cycle and possible BFP using RHR - part 3

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!

@StarStarTeachMe that's a good looking Chart 🤞🏼 for you

StarStarTeachMe · 20/09/2020 11:58

@BabyDust13 thanks. Been trying for more than a year so would be over the moon if this was my month!

Juno231 · 20/09/2020 13:45

@StarStarTeachMe it is looking super promising! When are you planning on testing?

@Ls2020 @mumof23188 I'm so sorry for the both of you, I really hope you get another BFP ASAP and that it's a sticky one at that ❤️

My RHR shot up today and I'm fairly certain I ovulated on Friday (marked on chart) . Question is, is this due to the wine I had last night? Tomorrow will tell I guess.

Theres certainly some promising looking rises this month for a few of us! I'm so hoping we're in luck this month.

I did a test earlier and can maaaaaaybe see a squinter... am not taking it as a bfp though, as I was up and peed overnight so it wasnt a true fmu sample. Also, the test is a clearblue blue dye one and I dont trust them 100%. I think I'll nip to Boots for a first response and try again tomorrow morning.

Juno231 · 20/09/2020 15:06

@Mrsi2020 check out the rise on my BBT chart as well, there's no mistaking that temp rise! And my temps don't really get affected by alcohol unless I get bladdered so this should be the real deal.

I'm so happy your bean is sticking - your chart looks so lovely! How are you feeling and what do you reckon your EDD is atm?

I can't tell what's going on with my RHR it's been all over the place my Apple Watch is no where near as accurate as my Fitbit was so I can't really use it as a guide

I should be 4+4 today and got a 2-3 on a clear blue digital

I think I'm going to stop looking at my RHR is just making me worry and I don't need any extra worry right now

Hope you are all well

Mrsi2020 · 20/09/2020 18:41

@StarStarTeachMe you can’t do a test and not show us lol make sure and show us tomorrow’s! Lol

@Juno231 eeeeekkk defo no mistaking that, fab! I love how much you mention alcohol , we’re cut from the same cloth. I’ve only missed two weekends of a drink and I’m missing it haha. I’m not an alcoholic lol but alcohol plays a part in my social life lol. I think I’m 5+5 and my EDD is 18th may I think. I’m trying not to overthink tbh. I have gotten really good at not testing!

@BabyDust13 spot on! How are you feeling? Any symptoms? Xxx

BabyDust13 · 20/09/2020 19:23

@Mrsi2020 not really just get tired a lot earlier and spend most my life in the loo 😂

How are you?

StarStarTeachMe · 20/09/2020 19:31

@Mrsi2020 Here, will this do? 🤣 I couldn't capture it on camera but I swear there was a bluish shadow line in real life... maybe?!? 🙈
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one fond of a beverage of a weekend on the thread. I've been on antibiotics for the last week so haven't had a drink since 2 weekends ago.

@BabyDust13 tired and in the loo sums up most of my first trimester when I was pregnant on my daughter!

Mrsi2020 · 20/09/2020 21:03

@StarStarTeachMe I can see a hint of something when I turn my phone! Fx xx

@BabyDust13 that’s good! Just tired and sore boobs here, nothing major! Counting the sleeps to my early scan (9!) I think I’ll relax and start to enjoy it then xxx

HansBanans · 20/09/2020 23:52

@LS2020 @mumof23188 thinking of you both x

@StarStarTeachMe that chart looks promising and I feel like I can see a faint line on the CB 🤞🏻

Kona84 · 21/09/2020 07:30

CD30 today no AF yet Ovia predicted it for day 28.
My HR last week would have had me thinking this is my month but my HR since Saturday let’s me know AF is on its way.
Least I won’t be wasting money on tests.
Maybe October will be my month.

My sister who announced her pregnancy the day I told my family about the miscarriage- gave birth at the weekend. Feeling pretty rubbish but I know it will pass.

LS2020 · 21/09/2020 08:05

Thank you all ❤️ Doing surprisingly ok, think it helped to know was a chemical and it’s deffo helped that it’s just been like a mild period. Didn’t have any awful pain or loads of blood. Got some tests coming today to check I’m back to testing negative and then start again as AF has now finished 😊
I’m selfishly hoping the whole thing will make me more fertile this month and I’ll get another BFP with a hopefully stickier bean this time 🤞🏻
I think it’ll be worse if I don’t get one again this year and known I would have been half way through at the end of the year. I think that’s my biggest sadness is knowing it’s yet another month away at best.

@Kona84 I’m sorry, I can’t imagine the pain of that. Just think though you’ve got a lovely new niece or nephew to spoil and love and hold close and will love you so much in return ❤️

@Juno231 what a rise 😍 fx for you this month!

LS2020 · 21/09/2020 08:07

@Mrsi2020 I’m so glad you’re nearly out of the 6 week stage, you’ve had gorgeous progression and very strong HCG lines so thinking of you lots this week! Won’t send you any luck because mines horrendous but got all my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

StarStarTeachMe · 21/09/2020 11:32

So, didn't get to test this morning. I woke up about half 5 and went to the loo in zombie mode before I remembered! 🙈

RHR has dropped down by a beat though... I hope it won't keep dropping or I'll.know I'm out.

BabyDust13 · 21/09/2020 11:51

My mind is in worry mode today I can't explain it I just can't seem to switch it off or concentrate on anything else.

I did another test this morning and still had 2 strong lines but for some reason I just can't shake it off

Getting pregnant/being pregnant is tough on the emotions for sure

StarStarTeachMe · 21/09/2020 12:15

@BabyDust13 it's so hard. I suppose all we can do is try and trust our bodies. Easier said than done!

BabyDust13 · 21/09/2020 12:46

@StarStarTeachMe I know you're right and I'm probably being totally irrational

In my mind I know that every pregnancy is different and my past history shouldn't factor in but what can I say I'm a worrier

SarahTTC2020 · 21/09/2020 17:28

Hi everyone, just been catching up after a weekend away. Hoping my chart is promising! This is the highest it's been in 3 months but then I have been drinking the last 3 days so won't get my.hopes up too much. 7dpo

SarahTTC2020 · 21/09/2020 17:30

Forgot to attach it didn't I 🤦🏼‍♀️
