Tracking your cycle and possible BFP using RHR - part 6

[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!

@Gizzy93 oh sorry I meant for this morning! Glad it went up though ☺️ Hope all goes well if you decide to test 🤞🏻

@bfnancy thank you! I’m 4+ 4 so right in the right range for a 2-3 week. Get my first scan at 6+4 which I am so excited for!!

@LS2020 many congratulations 🥰 lovely news and enjoy the pregnancy as well as celebrate too 🥳

@LS2020 congrats!!! That's so exciting!

My temp has gone up again. BFN on IC. This is a little frustrating 😅

Oh @Gizzy93 I know what that's like when everything is looking positive except getting the BFN...it's so frustrating. I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Hopefully it will stay up tomorrow as that would be a good sign!

@LS2020 not long until that first scan then, hope the days go quickly for you!! 😊

Thanks all xxx

@Gizzy93 how sensitive are the ICs? If implantation was at 10dpo you wouldn’t be showing anything yet anyway!

@LS2020 10mIU. Hopefully its too early!

Huge temp drop for me this morning. AF will be here either today or tomorrow.
We weren't trying and had a slip up so not too gutted. Would have been nice though lol.

Good luck to the rest of you! xx

Sorry @Gizzy93 I totally forgot you'd said you weren't actively TTC!! Hope AF treats you kindly this month when she does show 👍🏻

@ls2020 huge congratulations.
I just caught up on the thread from early August.
Shows that it only takes 1 good egg.
So happy for you

@Gizzy93 sorry to hear that, did you say you were thinking of trying soon?

@Kona84 thank you! How are you getting on?

@LS2020 yeah, soonish. I'd like to lose a bit of weight first and form some healthier habits

@ls2020 I am good thank you
34+3 today.
Ido have gestational diabetes but controlling it with diet currently.
May mean baby arrives earlier but I think I’m nearly prepared

@Kona84 that's nuts how far along you are already! I'm sorry to hear about you getting GD but I'm glad you are able to control it atm. Hope all goes well for you and baba

@Gizzy93 thanks for posting the indent. I think that's similar to mine, from memory. And easier to see irl than in the photos. Has AF turned up now?

@LS2020 congrats on your cb Digi! How are you feeling? That wait from BFP to first scan is the longest time ever isn't it 😩 hope you're not too stressed!

@Juno231 how are you doing, where are you at with IVF plans?

@GlassLily yeah, period came Monday morning right on time.
Im going to lose weight before we have a baby. I've got 30kg to lose but we're going to start trying when I hit 20kg.
I also got my Measles, Mumps and Rubella booster today, so definitely have to be using protection for 3 months

@Kona84 how are you that far along that’s insane!! Sorry to hear on GD but diet control is really good, my manager had it and she was on all sorts of injections and tablets and they made her quite poorly. Good to hear you’re all prepared, people at work have asked me about hospitals and nurseries and I’m like ??? Let me have my first scan 😂

@GlassLily thank you! Got a 3+ today so happy everything is progressing 😊 (I’ve not tested since last Friday) so that will be end of tests for me now I think. My scan is a week today so feels both soon and ages away!

@Gizzy93 I think losing weight before is a really good idea, I’m about a size 14 and wish I’d slimmed down a bit (I had to lose about a stone for IVF as BMI had to be under 30, I was about 28 on the test but still think it would have been nicer to lose some more)

@LS2020 that's so funny about people at work. I told my HR guy at 14 weeks and he spent an hour talking me through all the best schools in the area, and which primary schools feed into which high schools, and when you need to sign them up by, and how it's easier to get a second child into the same school....I didn't know what to say 🤣😳

@Gizzy93 good luck with your weight loss! I think it makes a huge difference to fertility for some people, so that's good motivation! What's your plan on how to get started?

@Gizzy93 also it'll be interesting to see if/how the weight lots changes what your rhr does!

@GlassLily yes my rhr is terrible! Have no cardio fitness lol.
Im just calorie counting and exercising pretty much every day. Usually do over 10k steps a day which is a good start

@LS2020 how are you doing? Xxx

@mumof23188 I’m good (ish!) thanks! Morning sickness kicked in this week and threw up Monday and Tuesday. Had some toast last night and ate a biscuit every time I got up to pee in the night and so far so good today so hoping I’ve found a way to combat it 🤞🏻Scan is on Friday and it just feels like it’s dragging!!! How’s your little one doing?

@GlassLily @Gizzy93 I lost about 8kg and my RHR dropped about 5bpm it was v interesting to see ☺️

@LS2020 oh you poor thing. Morning sickness is horrible. Fingers crossed you’ve found a way to take the edge off. 🤞. Ahh wow, what time is it at? Time always drags on when you are waiting for something. Hope time speeds up a bit for you lovely. Little one is great thank you. We all adore him 💙.

Just wanted to share my post birth drop with you all. HR is definitely back to normal now.

@mumof23188 I’m so sick of feeling sick all the time, can’t wait for this bit to be over!!
It’s at 12.25 and working in the morning so that’ll be a drag but will get there. Thank you!!
How interesting on your RHR, hoping my OH let’s me have my Fitbit back after the scan 😂😂

@LS2020 it is so hard feeling so sick. I had it so bad this time. If it gets bad you can always get something from the doctors. I can’t remember what I was prescribed but it definitely helped. You definitely will get there. Will be thinking of you ☺️.

Yeah it really dropped off after birth. Crazy!!

Thanks @mumof23188 it seems like a slice of toast before bed and a biscuit at night it working a treat and not been sick since Tuesday. I’ve lost my voice though because the sickness has damaged my throat so that’s not fab! My manager at work (who admitted she’d never thrown up with morning sickness) told me it was a mental concept and if you just say to yourself not to be sick then I just won’t be.. I was like thanks 😂😂
