I *think* I read something similar to this a while ago. I'll see if I can dig up the link.

+1. I can't remember who it was but someone else tracked this and their graphs of HR looked surprisingly similar to BBT graphs. I'm sure super sleuth W can find the thread.

I remember several Fitbit threads. But. I can NEVER find any thing I'm looking for when I *search* on here. Never. I hate posting duplicate threads but I couldn't remember if I read that in here and search finds nothing.

Thanks for the responses. I'll keep trying to search. Or link me to the others if y'all can find it.

Yeah, the search function on this site is terrible. I can never find what I'm looking for.

This is interesting. Yesterday when I opened my FF app, I got an invitation to join some study regarding heart rate and BBT. I was wondering what the correlation was.

really?? I would participate but I bet I'd have to renew vip to get the offer.

I do have VIP so you're probably right. I just looked through the app to see if I could find more info but I don't see anything.

I have noticed a correlation, too. I saw on FF they were looking for people to participate in a study but they said I didn't qualify, boo.

that stinks!! Did they say what criteria they required? I might would renew if I would qualify.

No just got an auto message saying I didn't fit. I'm old and have rocky charts so probably those things, at least...

This is my HR graph from this month. I did not chart BBT this month so I'm not sure if it correlates but it displays the same phasic pattern.

The only info they asked for was your height, weight and what kind of HR tracker you use. I guess I got accepted because I just got an email with instructions on how to add custom data.

this makes me wanna renew! Almost.

You can add the custom data thing to your chart and pretend you're in it. It seems like that's all it is at this point.

where in the customize section did it tell you to put it?

C&P'ing from my email:

Thank you for participating in Fertility Friend's Resting Heart Rate study. There is only a small setup to start collecting your data.

1-Setup:

To start participating you will need to create a custom specifics field (you can find it in the popular choices of the specifics section):

Data Field Name: Resting Heart Rate
Data Type: Numeric

In the App tap the "Data" tab then tap the "Customize" tab. Tap the "Add Specifics" option, then tap "Popular Choices" and select "Resting Heart Rate".

2-Daily Routine:

Continue tracking your fertility signs as usual.

Track your Resting Heart Rate (as indicated by your device if it measures it or follow the procedure described below).

You can visualize the heart rate data using the Data Grapher tool (tap the analysis tab in the App). You can plot the Resting Heart rate data along with the BBT or another sign as you see fit.

Note that if you have past Resting Heart Rate data you can enter it as well, it will give you a better view and will allow a deeper understanding of your patterns.

3-Measuring Your Resting Heart Rate:

If your activity tracker measures your resting heart rate automatically (you have to wear it all the time including at night for the estimate to be accurate) just report it as is once a day. We will evaluate the use of these trackers as an easy way to get the Resting Heart Rate data.

If your activity tracker does not report this particular data or if you do not have any activity tracker, you can evaluate your resting heart rate by measuring it just after taking your temperature (still lying down). Just start by 30-40 seconds of deep breathing exercises, then take your heart rate (you can do it manually or using the activity tracker).

Last but not least, feel free to contact support via the App or the web site if you need help. We will keep you informed of the progress as we go.

I made the thread from this a while back. I'm on tapatalk and not fully sure how to copy and paste old threads here, but if you search for threads started by me I have side by side comparisons of bbt vs resting HR
