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!

Ok so I know I'm clutching at straws but.... Hiccups? Anyone know if they are a legitimate early pregnancy sign? I'm 9 dpo and had hiccups out of the blue before going to bed last night, and again this morning. I can't even remember the last time I had hiccups. I googled it and there are a couple of articles suggesting it could be sign.... But that's true of anything you google! Has anyone experienced it though and followed with a BFP?

HR hasn't gone up any further though, just back up to ovulation level and sticking there. I think I might be kidding myself 🙈

So I continue to be the most boring person alive and on day 6 of flat 😂 was expecting a peak OPK today though and it’s still a flashing face so not sure if I’ve now missed or need to test this afternoon :/

@Mrsi2020 oh look at your little bean 😍. Lovely! Glad everything looks great.

@LS2020 ahh god, I have no idea! How frustrating! I don’t have a clue about the CB OPK’s.

Think I ovulated yesterday, had a real sharp pain near my right hip and it even hurt DTD. It’s gone today thankfully!

@mumof23188 I think I’m going to try this on and then continue til I run out of sticks as can be common for it to be slightly out after a CP. I feel like I’ve been hit by a bus today though, run down and tonsils are sore. Boobs still hurt and I feel a bit nauseous which is v weird- would swear some HCG in system but taken two negative tests last week

This pm*

@LS2020 I am in the boring club too! Day 4 of flat, checking the app about 10 times a day hoping it's gone up 😂 setting myself up for disappointment!

@LS2020 yes good plan for the OPK’s. Really hope you get your static 🤞. So strange. Sorry you are feeling so crappy. Maybe you’ve got a big of a bug? Hope you feel better soon. I swear my symptoms are different every bloody month. Today I’ve got sensitive nipples which I never get around ovulation. It’s such a guessing game isn’t it!

CD13 today here’s my charts! We’ve DTD 6 days in a row so hoping there’s a winner this month 🤣

@Mrsi2020 ah that's so sweet! little bubba! Glad it all went well

@ls2020 well I'm moving out of my flat today into temporary accommodation this month so I'll have plenty to keep me busy! We're moving into a fixer upper with like no furniture so there's plenty of shopping to be done :)

@Juno231 ah good luck with moving! Enjoy shopping. I love buying stuff for the house.

I'm feeling so anxious today I've had to take my Apple Watch off because my RHR is up and down like a yo-yo it is definitely not as good as a Fitbit for tracking that

6 week mark and I'm struggling to stay calm maybe a lunch time walk will help. There's really no point me being this worried I know I can't change the out come

1 week and 3 days until my early scan 🥺

@GlassLily it’s so annoying even if it was going up or down I could ooh after it and give me some interest but nope, nothing! Nice and high for you though ☺️

@mumof23188 you are a goddess - 6 days?! How do you find the time?!
Think it’s deffo a bug but going to have to convince OH that I’m still sexy tonight... might have to do a Monica and get some vaporub out 😂😂
Just been thinking I’m sure my RHR rises the day before O and then continues up so maybe it’s not today :/ have had a bit of EWCM though so gonna go for it!

@Juno231 my friend had been trying for over a year and it was the month she moved and got a dog that she got pregnant - it’s deffo about keeping your mind off when you can I think as I conceived when we were at a spa hotel... oh no I’ll just have to go to the spa every cycle 😂

@Babydust13 oh I’m feeling for you today lovely, I’m sure everything is just fine but yes please do lots to keep your mind off it and relax as much as you can!!

@Babydust13 hopefully they will pass quickly - can you try and plan something for every day to focus on.

@poptypingchef I'm doing quite a bit of overtime at work this week which should help take my mind off it although I'm working from home and easily distracted

I'm having my hair done Saturday which I'm looking forward to and my parents are going away for a few days so I have the dog to keep me company

I'm sure my OH thinks I'm losing the plot I'm pretty sure the hormones aren't helping one minute I'm happy go lucky the next I'm just panicking

Ooh maybe I am near O.. been revised up 🤞🏻

@LS2020 I am shattered 😂 feeling very rough and tired this afternoon and evening. Any luck with a static? Glad to see it’s gone up one tho! Haha that made me LOL 😂😂

Oh no, the dip has begun today exactly on schedule, 4 days before AF, same as last month. I guess I'm out!

@mumof23188 no luck with static, even did two OPKs yesterday. I revised down to 57 yesterday but then on 59 today so I think I’m due to ovulate on time today as that’s in line with normal RHR movements. Had a bit of side pain yesterday too.

@GlassLily sorry to hear that - are you 10dpo? It could always get caused by an implantation dip ☺️

@LS2020 ah that’s good news that ovulation is going to happen. Do you test twice per day with the CB?

@GlassLily sorry to hear that you may be out 😩

So apparently I’m 3dpo according to my BBT! No idea really! Had a strong OPK on CD11 but then ran out of opks so couldn’t test again. My HR has dropped aswell. Bit confused!!

@mumof23188 not normally as I always get right on time on the morning so never had to before, it’s v strange!

Sounds like it must have been a bit earlier than normal for you - is that going to make a 26 day cycle for you? Is that normal?

@LS2020 oh how odd but as you said CP can mess things around a bit. Fingers crossed for this afternoon for you.

Yes I think so! My cycles are usually 28-30 days! So will have to see what happens this cycle. But concerned my HR has dropped so much!

@LS2020 yes 10DPO... but my temperature was high this morning so don't think it's implantation! Fx just in case I suppose. But I just have a feeling that this is not the month... A couple of days ago I was convinced I was implanting, but just not feeling it anymore! On the positive side I got my blood test results and dr says it all looks good and I am ovulating 🙌🏻 so I am thrilled to bits with that! 😀

Morning guys.

14DPO ... i think!! This is my chart so far this month (I’ve drawn in today’s as it went over the page.

So I got a positive OPK on CD11 and retested on CD12 - also positive. I normally don’t get a positive test till CD14 (sometimes the evening of CD13.

So now CD26/14DPO and no AF (although she’ll defo rear her ugly head as soon as I click send on this post)

Fun fun fun 🤷🏼‍♀️

@GlassLily ahh fab news about your blood results 😁. Have you tested at all?

@poptypingchef is you luteal phase usually 14days? Will you test if no AF today? Good luck 🤞 hope af doesn’t come!

@mumof23188 yeah always 14 days without fail. I think I’ll hold off though as I really don’t feel it’s my month with the RHR.

@GlassLily that's great news about your bloods!
Hoping to get my results tomorrow. Just hoping it's normal levels of progesterone otherwise I'll worry about losing it now. Also planning to tell my GP that I'm pregnant after she gives me the results 🤞
