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!

@GlassLily sorry to hear AF arrived. I think 11 days is still normal but does feel short - have you ever had such a short one before? That sounds good, I think I might need a bit of a break too!

I have officially no idea what’s going on with me suspected 4DPO and I’m on the rise (could it be to do with bug?) I’m on 62 today (though wouldn’t be surprised if it came down one) and the 64 on the chart was 2 days after my BFP :s

Morning! Sorry I’ve been quiet. Been feeling a bit down in the dumps and far from hopeful for this cycle.

@GlassLily sorry to hear AF arrived. I think 11 days is ok. Seems short but I think it’s in the normal bracket.

@LS2020 ahh look at your chart. Did you have a temperature with your bug you had? Your chart does look good with the rise!

I’ll attach my graphs. Which are crap!! 🤣

@mumof23188 no I didn’t feel fevery or particularly too warm or anything - been more body fatigue and nausea. Did my normal temp this morning tho as do still feel unwell and that was fine. I know if I was another week out I would probably feel super excited but with 10 days left the only place it has is to go down 😂

Sorry to hear you’ve been feeling down, I’ve been like that this cycle. Might take this week off as it’ll be a bit of a dead week in terms of things not happening cycle wise and try improve my mental health a bit.

You’re on the RHR rise and above the cover line still so still hope ❤️

@LS2020 hope you are feeling better now lovely. Ah it must be so tough to be positive when you have been trying for so long 😩. I do think it does you good sometimes to have a bit of a break. Sorry to hear you have been feeling down aswell. Sending a big hug your way.

I know that you are right! I need to get out of this funk because not even been trying long. I’ve just become obsessed! I’ve just taken an IC and there’s a shadow on it. I don’t even know why I did it 😂 so now I’m going to obsess over that 🤦🏻‍♀️

🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

Thanks @mumof23188. I think it’s just because of what happened last month and I feel like annoyingly I have such good symptoms it’s just the wrong point of the month!!

Big hugs to you too! It’s really hard and when you want something so much it’s hard to focus on other things. Everyone’s journey is valid and it’s about what’s important to you at this moment in time, not how long it’s been ☺️ I am fully confident that we were have our little bundles soon and all this will have been worth it ❤️

@LS2020 you are definitely bound to feel super fed up. I really feel for you. So frustrating!! When is AF due for you?

What a lovely thing to say. You are so supportive. Really appreciate that message ☺️. Completely agree with you there. It will happen 💕. Keep positive!

@mumof23188 and @LS2020 just coming out of my funk too and trying to think of all the positives I can. We can do this 🙌🏻

TMI INCOMING: that’s me day 3 and the last few days have been heavy and painful. The plus side is apparently this can happen after having an HSG as it’s your system clearing out all the crap that has been dislodged so fingers crossed I have a squeaky clean new system ready to go this month. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

6dpo today. No symptoms to note. Anyone else just a bit meh?!

@mumof23188 no way! fingers crossed that goes stronger.

CD4 here so nothing to report! Will start DTD every other day from Sun but until then I'm just twiddling my thumbs lol.

@poptypingchef sorry to hear you’ve been in a funk too. Yes yes yes to positivity 🙏🏼. Ahh ouch, nothing worse than a painful period. Hopefully it comes to an end soon. Yay to clean tubes!!

@Moominmiss look at that chart! Nice rise there!

@Juno231 oh my god do you see it? It’s probably just an Indent or something but I will keep testing with the IC now. Ahh the boring part for you 😩😩. Roll on FW and DTD 😁

Thanks @mumof23188 - husband went on a cleaning spree yesterday when I was laid up (it does happen sometimes 😂) so spring clean all round!!

🤗🤗 on the test! How many DPO are you again?

@poptypingchef 🤣🤣 yay! Nice and fresh all round 😁. I’m only 7dpo! Crazy I know for even thinking about testing.

Evening ladies! How are you all? I’ve been awol in my anxious state but feeling a bit better this eve. Booking in appt went really well today and they’re sending me for a scan tomorrow.

@mumof23188 I see it! Fingers crossed for you.

Girls re the agnus cactus I had regular cycles and it didn’t do me any harm, worked first month! I only took the mild dose tho - 4mg from Holland and Barrett. Some people take 1000mg 😱

Xxx

@mumof23188 AF is due a week on Thursday so feel like I’ve got ageeesss! Sorry, I didn’t see the pic when I responded, have you retested again?!

@Mrsi2020 hope your scan goes well today ☺️

In theory 5DPO and RHR has stayed at 62 so far. I’m feeling a bit better from an illness perspective so hoping it’s a good thing if my RHR stays high but also no symptoms overly to report! Sounds like most of us are just in the waiting phase so let’s hope for another lovely round of BFPs 🤞🏻

@Mrsi2020 hope you are ok. You are bound to feel so anxious after so many losses 💕. Hope the scan goes well today ☺️

@LS2020 it’s taking ages this TWW isn’t it! I’ve got 9 days to go!! That’s ok lovely. Yes I’ve tested a few more time’s. Still getting a faint something but I don’t think my BBT chart and RHR are good enough so it must be a dud batch! Brilliant that your HR is still high. 🤞🤞🤞. Glad you are feeling better ☺️.

I got a FRER in the end because it was annoying me! Now I’m still annoyed, faint line?

@mumof23188 I can definitely see it! You're only 8DPO though so it would def be very faint at this point. Fingers crossed for a sticky bean.

CD5 here and boy does my RHR show it lol.

@Juno231 thank you! Ohh I do hope so. I’m just worried that my BBT is wrong. My HR is stupidly low aswell so that’s got me thinking I’m out. This cycle has been so different symptom wise so that’s what I’m holding onto for now.

Ahh CD5! The most boring days bless you. When’s FW for you?

@mumof23188 ha yes although weirdly I think I prefer it to the TWW as it flies by in comparison! FW starts on CD10/Sunday according to FF/femometer so I'll start with the OPKs then too :)

@Juno231 that is very true! The TWW is awful and everyday drags! Almost go time for you then ☺️🤞

I’m the same girls, the tww is torture lol! @mumof23188 I see it, that’s how mine started and it honestly took like 6 days to properly darken because I’d tested so early , fx for you! My strongest wee was if I went in the middle of the night at 2/3 and then didn’t drink anything and tested at 7am!

My scan went amazing! Measuring bang on and she said everything looked perfect and hb was strong. I feel like I can maybe start to get excited now! Xxx

That’s amazing @Mrsi2020! What a perfect scan pic! You must feel like you can relax now and just enjoy it a bit!

7dpo here. Rhr has shot up. Temp went up too. But a long way to go yet.
This is the highest my rhr has ever gone. Trying really hard not to read into it though as I have no other symptoms at all.

@Moominmiss I do actually, it’s the first time I’ve relaxed, just goes to show rhr drops around week 6/7 lol!

Eeeekkk yours looks promising, hope you get a wee implantation dip in the next couple of days xxx
