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 yes it wouldn’t. It says you need to have Atleast 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep. I think OPK’s work well though don’t they. I used to just track with opks. It must be connected somehow, breastfeeding is amazing isn’t it. I mean when I was feeding DS I didn’t have a period at all.

@mumof23188
Yes, so bbt wouldn’t be accurate. I’ll stick to the OPKs for now. I’m feeling so emotional today. Pms is hitting hard early I guess. AF will surely come early 🙄😕 Keeping my fingers crossed for you! 🍀

@LarasMama yes unfortunately not! I think the OPK’s are good enough. It’s nice to see the positive isn’t it. I must admit I do both! Oh no, sorry to hear you are feeling emotional. I do hope AF doesn’t show at all for you. Thank you, appreciate that. I’m wondering if I will test before AF this cycle? I think I would much prefer to see the BFN than AF just appear but I’ve been stung before by faint lines which have left me wondering. It’s probably best to wait for AF but it’s not due for ages!!

@mumof23188 Thank you dear! 🙏🏻 Maybe test around 12-14 dpo. When did you test last cycles?

@LarasMama yes will just wait! I’ve tested at all different times in previous cycles. With my last baby I got a BFP at 13dpo. How are you today? My temp and HR have dropped! I’m wondering if it’s an implantation dip? Not had this before! Have to wait and see if it rises tomorrow 🤞

Good morning @mumof23188! You must be 8 dpo today correct? That is so interesting! How much did it drop by? I have such a hard time reading ff properly 🙈😂
Well, I had a restless night. So my RHR did go up during the night but still stuck at 63 on fitbit. I’m either 9 or 10 dpo and I really feel like AF will come either today or tomorrow.

Morning @LarasMama I’m 9dpo today. I’ve been frantically googling implantation dips 🤣. It dropped by .20 so not massive but will have to see if it rises tomorrow. HR dropped from 66 to 64. Ahh sorry you had a restless night, you must be so tired. Do you usually get the same pms each cycle? I’m having cramps today on my left side. Had them last night aswell!

@mumof23188 Oh, keeping m fingers crossed dear! It sounds promising especially with the cramping 🙏🏻
My pms really depends on the month. But I guess due to it being lockdown, little one sleeping so bad lately and lack of exercise it’s worse this month. I’m excited for next month and 2021! 😊

@LarasMama yes fingers crossed 🤞 definitely doesn’t feel like AF cramps. Literally all on one side! It’s probably nothing though 🤣. It’s a horrible feeling when you feel like you are out. Hope pms disappears for you soon. Yes roll on 2021!! Just hope normal life can resume ASAP. We’ve gone into tier 4 today!

After reading some more I don’t think it’s an implantation dip! Booo!!!

@mumof23188 Yes, aren't we all ready for 2021? Why do you think it wasn't an implantation dip? How was your sleep pattern last night? Maybe that's effecting temp and RHR. But the pain sounds promising! What type of pain is it? 👩🏻‍⚕️😊

RHR is trolling me! 🙄

@LarasMama yes totally! This is one year that I think everyone is looking forward to seeing the back of. I don’t think it was a big enough dip. I slept great last night so I don’t think it’s that. It’s like a sharp twinge and ache. It’s been coming and going. Wowsers 🤞🤞 Hopefully this means you aren’t out!!

Hi everyone,

Not been on MN as much as trying to take a break from constant stress of TTC and been super busy at work for a recent promotion but wanted to come on and wish you all well and a happy 2021 (let’s hope it’s a better on eh?!)

Giggling to see you with your trolling RHR - this is mine and mine deffo is. Somewhere between 6-8dpo but we only DTD once this month so chances are v low!

Can’t believe we’re nearly at the end of another thread!! Keep well everyone and good luck for the new year - been thinking of you all ❤️

@LS2020 hi lovely!

Nice to hear from you ☺️. Congratulations on your promotion. Fab news! Hope you had a lovely Christmas. Definitely, 2021 has to be better than this shambles of a year 🤣. Look at your rise!! Wow! It only takes one little sperm though 😉. You never know!!

Yes @Juno231 we need a new thread! Hope you are ok?

@mumof23188 thanks lovely!! How are you feeling about your little dip? There’s deffo something to that I think. I must have had bad cramps last night as I had a dream AF arrived and couldn’t stop the blood - eek! But had cramping today so hoping a good sign?
Deffo not had that sort of rise though, even with my CP - probably all the Christmas wine and cidre 😂😂

Hi girls! Sorry I've been quiet - I promise I read all the posts though! Just been feeling a bit unenthused by ttc and it doesn't help I'm not in the TWW when I def get more active :)

@mumof23188 lovely chart you have there, got my fingers crossed for you! Would be an amazing start to the new year :)

@ls2020 congratulations on your new promotion! Glad to hear some good has come out of 2020 😁

@LarasMama hah aren't our bodies mean trolling us like that?! Hope it ends with a BFP for you this time though 🤞

Would you like me to start another thread or are any of you keen to do it yourselves? I'm happy to if no one raises their hand!

@mumof23188 That type of pain sounds like I had with Lara!

My RHR is back at 63 🙄 I hate being trolled! 🤣
Cervix Position is low and super soft. It's just a matter of time now...

@Juno231 Does a thread come to an end at page 40?

@larasmama it ends abruptly at 1000 posts unfortunately! I'll set up another one just after this post though :) isn't a soft cervix a good sign? Mine is always low and hard when AF is due.

Happy new year everyone 🎉🎉 We’re going to get our BFP this year 😍

@LS2020 I’m trying not to get my hopes up! Just putting it to the back of my mind. Oh my, I’ve been having some crazy dreams aswell. How’s it going today? Hope you had a lovely NYE? Yes your rise is unbelievable!!! 🤞🤞🤞 when’s af due? Hahaha 🤣 love that. see I’m boring and never drink!

@LarasMama hope you are doing ok today? Hope you had a lovely NYE ☺️. I hope AF hasn’t rocked up!!

@Juno231 happy new year 🥳 hope you had a lovely NYE! Hope ov happens for you soon!! Ahh thank you. Temp went up today but not as much as I’d of liked. Thank you for the new thread ☺️.

Here’s chart today! RHR stayed at 64 but my HR has been higher throughout the day so I’m hoping it rises tomorrow. I took an OPK earlier as I just wanted to POAS and it’s positive?!! Trying to not get excited because it could just be a surge!!
