Fitbit and Ovulation.

[Mushrooms0up]

I got a Fitbit for Xmas and coincidentally my January menstural cycle started on the 1st of January.

This has allowed me to really easily track my cycle vs my resting heart rate.

You can see on day 1 my heart rate is super high (I was also a bit hungover so that didn’t help…) but it dramatically drops until ovulation on the 14th, climbing until I started my period today.

Has anyone else noticed this or is it a fluke? It just seems a super easy way of tracking ovulation if it’s true!

Yep definitely reliable, mine got messed up when I had covid jabs but still pretty easy to see

Yeah this is definitely a thinking, loads of people track their RHR when TTC, I think there's a thread about it in Conception

• thing not thinking!

Ah that’s really helpful! Glad it’s not just me. Do most people find their resting heart rate is lowest just before ovulation / at ovulation?

I’ve been Googling all day and it seems there’s actually quite limited research on this, when it seems so easy?

Probably because noone has bothered to research it. Or they wanted to but there was no funding for it. Depressing but true.

@NoToLandfill agree, and I suspect if it affected men it would be very well researched and well known
