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!

Hi I just came across this chat and wondered what you think of my chart my ovulation day is highlighted yellow.

I've had a read through and it's fascinating

Thanks for your help

Obviously it can't start rising but should it plateau or start going back down 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Rainbowbaby13 that looks very promising.
Mine just kept rising then would have a few up and down days

Hope everyone is well and everyone’s pregnancies are going smoothly.

@bfnancy how are you getting on? My rhr took a nose dive starting about 5w and bottomed out about 8w at my normal post-ov rhr. All was ok - my newborn is cuddled up on me as we speak! Really hope yours was a normal dip. Beyond that initial rhr increase, all sorts of crazy things happen. Fingers crossed yours is ok too.

@GlassLily congratulations

@GlassLily ahhh congratulations ❤️ Hope you are both doing well xx

@kona it started going down and then my period arrived no luck this month

Hi all, hope you don't mind me hopping on this thread. Have been having a read and found it really interesting!

I'm cycle 1 TTC and have found my RHR has been elevating since the day before ovulation. Only 2 DPO now but will be interesting to see what happens.

Actually scratch that, it has been elevated since the day of ovulation and am now 3DPO!

@kona84 @ls2020 thank you! Xx

@GlassLily ah so sorry I've just read your comment! That's so lovely to hear, congratulations!!! I hope you and bub are both doing well 🥰

Everything has been fine so far (saw a heartbeat at 8 week scan) and now 9.5 weeks so fingers crossed this little bean continues to keep growing. My RHR chart is just like you said, a bit all over the place! I'm not letting it stress me out now!!

I did scroll through and found the chart that @Kona84 posted in her first trimester and was very comforted that she had similar dips around the same time ☺️

@Nyxxie welcome and best of luck!!

@Nyxxie fingers crossed!

@bfnancy I'm so glad everything is progressing well!

@Kona84 how are you doing? What's the latest?

@GlassLily ah congratulations!! When did it happen? Did all go okay?

I'm 16+4 now and know that it's a baby girl. Starting to buy bits and bobs and it's all very exciting still!

@Juno231 Edith is 19 weeks, think we are in the sleep regression but she’s still the light of my life, even if it is a tired life at the moment haha.
Hope you are well.

Sorry for late replies I don’t come on mumsnet that often now

@Juno231 how are you already 16 weeks that’s insane but glad your pregnancy is progressing well ❤️

@Kona84 lovely to hear you’re all getting on well, despite the lack of sleep! Making me excited for my little one to be here… 9 weeks to go 🤞🏻

Thank you @Juno231!! 4 weeks ago, and my rhr has just got back to its normal level for anyone interested!

Wow 16+3, I am so happy for you! Your little one will be here before you know it. Hope pregnancy is treating you well. I can hardly believe my baby is really here 😊 but I already miss being pregnant!

@Juno231 ahh a baby girl ♥️ Congratulations. Hope you are well?

@LS2020 how are you getting on? Hope everything is good with you?

My baby boy is 6 months old now 😱

Hi All.

Just had a little read through this thread. I'll attach my chart. I'm 7+2 and obviously freaking out that my RHR had dropped. I can see that many of you had a drop around 7 weeks? Is that quite common? Should I prepare for bad news?

Thank you x

@BabyNo03 very common and nothing to worry about! Lots of us had huge drops at that point but I think all of us went on to have our babies

@Juno231 Thank you so much for the reassurance. I really appreciate it x

@mumof23188 sorry I missed your message! How is your little one 8 months now?!

Been a little busy recently and had my baby boy Thursday morning, induced a week early. He’s 7lb 13 and we are totally in love 🥰 thanks for all the support on this chat and excited to hear about the rest of the babies to arrive ❤️ Ultimately learnt my RHR can not be trusted to follow any logic pattern 😂

@LS2020 huge congratulations on the birth on your baby boy 💙. So happy for you! Hope you are both well ♥️

Congratulations @LS2020

Thank you! Gosh the newborn stage is hard isn’t it 😂 don’t know how people have more than one!!
