Tracking your cycle and possible BFP using RHR - part 4

[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!

@LarasMama I think it’s the best way, I hope it happens quickly for you again. I don’t know my LP but it’s probably quite short as well.

Morning! Hope everyone is well?

@LV1987 it’s so horrible when you know AF is going to show and your just waiting. Hopefully you don’t have to wait to much longer.

@LarasMama yes exactly, that’s what I’m thinking. There’s always that small chance but it probably won’t happen. See I can’t remember how I felt early on with my two. I have a terrible memory!

What’s your HR doing today? When is AF due for you?

@MissBPotter hi! Welcome ☺️. I’m also trying for DC3.

So my HR has risen by one but my BBT is low? So not feeling very confident! I’m having cramps today on my right side and still feeling nauseous.

Uh oh! Cheapies have arrived! Testing has started 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hi @mumof23188 that’s exciting that you’re trying for dc3! How old are your two? Mine are nearly 6 and 3. I can’t see anything on your test, but it’s early yet isn’t it? Too tempting when you get a batch of cheapies!!

@MissBPotter how many DC would you like? I would love just one more. Mine are 8 and 16 months. Big gap! Yes it’s totally negative 🤣. Couldn’t resist, they arrived in the post and I took one straight away! Will test daily now 🤦🏻‍♀️

@mumof23188 what a lovely RHR rise for you!

I’m stuck at 62 atm and 6dpo. Feeling absolutely nothing not even normal twinges that I get and like to google so already feeling defeated 😔 I think I’ve got thrush again so feeling melancholy as last time I got was my BFP cycle so feels like a double kick in the teeth this time!

Hope you’re all keeping well 💕

@LS2020 thank you lovely. I am pleased to see it rising. Seems mine rises after ovulation!

You’ve had a fab rise! Shame it’s stuck but still time for another rise! Ahh shame you have thrush again, you never know it could be a symptom for you? 🤞.

I have got the worst backache today and cramps feels like AF could arrive any minute. Still having sticky white CM. Anybody experienced similar?

@mumof23188 yeah it’s odd how it trends, mine would always stay flat after O and then rise week before but since my CP it’s always risen from O day!
Tbf I have no idea why it’s so high as when I look at data, was barely that high all night. I’ve had it other cycles and not had a BFP so not sure this is just the first time since. I think I got from my smear but it happens from high estrogen so hoping my body knows something I don’t ☺️ My main symptom was lack of cramps I get 2 days before af so feel like I have ages to see!

I had that so bad last cycle I think, like I kept going to toilet to wipe as actually thought AF was there it’s strange, no idea why it happens hope it’s a good sign for tou

For you 🤞🏻*

@mumof23188 just one more for me too. Good luck for the next few days!

@LS2020 only 6dpo anything could happen.

CD5 for me here today girls. Nothing much to report but rhr seems to be behaving and going down even more. I probbaly won't ovulate for at least another 30 days so pray for me 🤣🙄

Hello everyone, how are we all today?

@mumof23188 that really looks like a nice rise! 😍 Mine is still steady at 62 at 8 dpo. Just isn’t moving up or down. 🤷🏻‍♀️ AF should arrive earliest on 11/11 and latest by 13/11. It’s clear implantation hasn’t happened even if we may have conceived. So I really doubt anything will happen this month. What’s your feeling?

Btw is anyone elses fitbbit account down? Can’t login or access last nights data.

@LS2020 ahh you never know then 🤞. It’s such a torturous wait isn’t it. I struggle to understand how they come up with the RHR from the data. Mines been sky high but RHR is still low.

I’ve not had huge amounts but it’s definitely there and white and sticky! To be honest I think I’m definitely out. HR trolled me this morning aswell. Roll on next cycle!!

@MissBPotter thank you! I think I’m out so just a waiting game for AF now. Where are you at in Your cycle?

@lucyrp ohh I really do hope this cycle is normal for you 🤞🤞

@LarasMama I’ve had cycles where it’s just been static! Very frustrating! Anything can happen really as it’s not an exact science but from what I’ve seen on here upwards is a positive thing. You still have time for another rise 🤞 also could rise up after implantation? Ahh no! Mine is fine. It was a bit temperamental last night but it’s fine today.

Here’s my troll HR! Jumped up by two this morning but revised back down!! My bbt isn’t looking any better either. It’s very low 😩

Mine seems to be trolling me as well @mumof23188... Up by 4 beats since Friday and supposedly due on tomorrow. Buuuuuut, I could be trolling myself as I did have wine last night 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

@mumof23188 fingers crossed for you that this is your month 🤞

@MissBPotter welcome! Jealous of your two DC already, what a lucky lady!

CD13 here and blank OPKs still - had an impressive amount of EWCM yesterday though so combined with my steep rise in rhr today maybe tomorrow is the day?

@mumof23188 oh no that’s so frustrating when it does that! Are you taking your BBT at different times?

I’ve dropped 1bpm but still super flat and 8dpo today with no symptoms so I’m not feeling hopeful either! We’re gonna do a break next month so trying to just think of as only 6 more days of worrying left now 😂

@Juno231 looking like a nice pre O rise 🤞🏻 For you this cycle

@LV1987 ahh annoying! Haha to the wine 🍷. Any sign of AF for you?

@Juno231 hi Juno. How are you doing? Hope everything is well with you! I’m always amazed by the amount of EWCM I get too 🤣. Lovely rise for you there. Hopefully tomorrow is O day for you. Fingers crossed for this cycle for you!

@LS2020 very frustrating isn’t it! I was at the beginning of my cycle because of half term and lie ins! Been taking it at 6am lately though.

Maybe no symptoms is a good thing? How do you usually feel in TWW?

I’ve been having cramps on and off for a few days now. Was rather painful last night. Can’t recall having this recently! Had a rise today but not holding out any hope then that way I won’t be disappointed.

@mumof23188 ahh what a fabulous rise, hope this is something for you 🤞🏻Did it feel like pulling? That’s how mine felt ☺️

Yes true, I think this is a bit how I felt 2 months ago! I’m normally googling all sorts of random rubbish about symptoms and just don’t feel same this month. Normally have twinges and odd cramps etc but nothing much this month. I had a bit of sore boobs when I woke in night (woke me up as was on my front) but that’s all I have to report!

@mumof23188 revised up so back to being even more flat 😂

@mumof23188 your chart is looking really good!

@Juno231 thank you!! I am very lucky yes I think I am coming up to ov too based on cm and had a drop in rhr this morning too. Having said that, we have had so much going recently that we haven’t actually been trying.... barely been near each other...so unless we manage it tonight or tomorrow I’m probably out for this month!

Oooooh @mumof23188 that's looking good for you! 🤞🤞 My boozy RHR seems to have calmed a little today. No AF as of yet, due either today or tomorrow I think and I've been quite dizzy/fuzzy since Saturday so it's all to play for (apart from the BFN at 10dpo and the fact that dizzy/fuzzy could be a hangover 🙊)

@Juno231 I should receive a copy of my bloods tomorrow - what do I need to pay most attention to? I am booked back in to discuss them with my GP early next month, as the only info I could be given over the phone was that they were "fine". I am not entirely clear how they decided that, given that at no point did anyone ask me what stage of my cycle I was at 🤦‍♀️

Got my bloods! I'm a little concerned that, given that I thought I had ovulated by the time these were done, my progesterone is still quite low at 1.6. Anyone have any ideas??

@LV1987 how many dpo do you think you were when you had the blood tests done?

I thought I was 8dpo when they were run, but was only going by EWCM as OPKs have been a massive failure for me previously... Seems too low for 8dpo I think? So I guess I just wait until I come on and reevaluate it from there...?
