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!

@MissBPotter I think around 26/08. Told my husband this morning and he’s over the moon. My sister also had a baby last night, a little girl so feeling very grateful & emosh right now!

@Wombat84 yeah its confusing. When I compare it against when I was pregnant last time there's no real crossover. Last time I got a BFP at 10dpo

@ThinnerByDinner congratulations! That's a fab rise on the rhr 😁

5DPO and madly googling whether it's too early for an implantation dip....

@LarasMama how are you? Any sign of OV?

@Wombat84 @IndigoJam any news?

@Juno231 hope you are ok lovely!

Cd11 for me. I’ve never had such an early rise before. Don’t think I’ve even ovulated yet? OPK’s haven’t arrived yet 🤔 so don’t know what’s going on really!

@GlassLily I think some may implant that early because people do seem to get very early positives!

@GlassLily I'm pretty sure I implanted around 5-6dpo as I feel twinges on one side on those days and I got a bfp on a frer and cb digital at 9dpo

Felt not feel!

Hi everyone! Still catching up here. I feel like I have missed so much!

Hello @mumof23188 dear! How are you? Your RHR looks great! Have you noticed any change in CM? Such a pity that you weren’t able to test with OPKs. Were you able to dtd this weekend? 🥰
DD is teething and isn’t sleeping all too well. Neither are we needless to say. 🙈 My OPKs started turning positive yesterday evening but I haven’t felt ovulation yet. They’re still positive so I guess I haven’t ovulated yet. I also haven’t felt the usual cramps. I will test before I go to sleep. Either I’ll ovulate tonight or maybe tomorrow. DTD Friday and yesterday and even used a preseed alternative. If I do ovulate tomorrow I’m not sure if that was enough. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Here’s my chart. It’s looking good so far.

Morning everyone, still slightly worried here lol, got 2-3 weeks on my clearblue today, was hoping it would be 3+ as I think I’m 20dpo. But I guess I could be less than that.... rhr gone up from 66-68 this morning. Still don’t want to refer myself to the midwives for some reason as that makes it all so real!

@LarasMama sounds good, hope ov happens soon. @GlassLily any updates? Hope you’re getting on ok @Juno231 and @mumof23188

@MissBPotter it's not necessarily possible to track progress on those, they're designed to give a positive/negative result. The 2-3 3+ will differ based on HCG strength, which doubles every 48 hours. So someone who implants on 5dpo would see 3+ quicker than someone who implants on 9dpo 😊

@MissBPotter you should defo refer yourself to midwives as they may have a back log due to Covid !

@mumof23188 nope. My rhr is still rising but haven't tested again yet. I'm usually symptom less anyway so its hard to know one way or another.

@MissBPotter Nothing to report here, RHR looking the same as last month, 4 days until AF, time will tell! I don't think this is my month.
I wouldn't put too much stock in the CB test, like @BlondePotter says, they aren't necessarily designed to give you a perfect "weeks" reading. But no harm in getting the ball rolling with the midwives!

@MissBPotter 20 DPO could mean the little bean implanted late. So 2-3 weeks is good!

So I'm not even sure whether I ovulated. Usually I get ovulation cramps, but didn't have any this cycle. OPK first turned positive (I think) on Sunday and turned negative this afternoon. CM didn't give anything away either. So I will just assume that I probably ovulated last night/this morning.

Forgot to attach

Hey guys, here is my chart and I got a faint BFP on an internet cheapie today! Dunno whether to tell my boyfriend now or wait til christmas eve. Can you guys see it?!

@gezelligheid I can see it 😁 I would definitely get a frer though as I imagine the line would be pretty clear ob that! I didn't tell DH when I got a faint cheapie line, but I showed him the next day on a frer 😁 congratulations!

Thank you! 💕 Gonna go to boots on my lunch break. AF isn't due until tomorrow but the nausea made me test early.

Morning everyone!
It’s hard to believe it’s nearly Christmas 🎄

@LarasMama I’m good thank you, how are you? Yes had EWCM so knew it was FW. Managed to dtd everyday of it this cycle 😆. My OPK’s arrived yesterday finally and I was able to catch my peak! What are the chances of that. Poor DD and you too. Teething is so tough. My little man is teething also! It’s a good sign that your OPK’s are now negative. Do you usually get cramps every time? Your chart is looking great 😊. Are you all set for Christmas?

@MissBPotter ahh bless you. Don’t take much note on the CBS. 2-3 is fantastic and you could just be on the cusp of a 3+. Definitely refer yourself as it could take a while. Fab about the HR going up ☺️.

@IndigoJam when will you test again? 🤞

@gezelligheid yesssss!! I see it clear as day. Congratulations 🎉

Forgot to add charts ......... I’m thinking I possibly ovulated let night/today?

@mumof23188 I tested this morning on a cheap hug test but I'm not sure. Going yo try a frer tomorrow

@IndigoJam can’t see anything on there but the dye hasn’t stopped running. The one steps aren’t fantastic for early testing. Hopefully you manage to find a FRER! What’s your HR doing? How many Dpo are you?

@mumof23188 Hello dear, yes, can’t believe it’s almost Christmas! 🎄Still have so much to do.
Thank you, I hope your little one is doing well.
Great that you got to dtd every day and catch your peak! 🥰Fingers crossed for us this cycle! Are your OPKs now negative? So 1 dpo for you?
DD was up a lot again last night. So I’m not sure if that’s why my RHR is looking like this. Haven’t seen it this high for a while. I do get ovulation cramps almost every cycle. But I never did on the cycle we conceived DD and I was sure I never ovulated! So I don’t know if I did and if I am 1, 2 or 3 dpo. I’m guessing I should be 2 dpo today. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Juno231 Dear, how are you? Did AF show?

Oh, it looks like my RHR was 63 for a day last cycle at 9 dpo when I started spotting right before my period
