You guys!!! I seriously waited an hour for someone else to start this because I had no good questions left @BusinessWife - looking at you, fellow earlybird! LOL
hahahahaha @Krys I have been at work for an hour trying to think of a good GTKY. I am drawing blanks over here.
Happy Wednesday. The week is now half over.. which is good cause I am one tired tina...
Cycle/Month: 23 / 28
CD: 34
WAYDTGKU: Nothing... sleeping. It is fab.
R/R/CS: Not too much to report today. I have to train someone on the operating system at work this morning. It is totally going to cut into my bump time. Hopefully it will not be an all day thing. Temp went down a bit again this morning. And I do not feel so great. Headache. Dizzy. Meh. But... I had a blueberry donut for breakfast. And by "a" blueberry donut I mean two.
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O? We met on OkCupid. I was fresh out of my previous marriage and a total man hater. Had been on several dates but was just terribly bitter. I had went to dinner with some guy the night before and I swore I was just going to be alone for awhile and just forget dating for awhile. DH messaged me on OKC the day I moved out of my house and I decided his date offering (dinner and bowling) sounded fun. I knew the moment I laid eyes on him he was the one. He instantly melted my icy broken heart and mended all its pieces. We have been inseparable since.
WAYDTGKU: vitamins & supplements, diet/exercise, all 3 letter acronyms
R/R/CS: rant: I have a saline sono tomorrow so i have to start an antibiotic today to reduce risk of infection. Also means we can't HIO for 48 hours afterwards and then OH works Sunday so basically I have maybe Monday and possibly Tuesday to get it in for FW. Rave: it's my bday today so I took a personal day and we are headed for the Land of Make Believe for a family day with DS! I can't wait to float down the lazy river
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O? We met at a bar down at the Jersey Shore...we had many mutual friends but from different groups of friends and I lived down the shore permanently at that point..so I may or may not have been a little tipsy when I noticed him talking to MY friends (which turned out to be his friends too) throughout the night and he may have heard me say to my roommates "who the eff is this guy and how does he know everybody?"...the rest is history We have been together 4 years and are currently planning our wedding for April 2018.
R/R/CS: Had a another temp drop...REALLY hoping that doesn't mean O is around the corner. OPK was lighter than the past few days. Holding steady on everything else. I'm seriously ready to be home so I can cook again. "Eating out" for every meal is just killing me. The options here are not very good. I feel so bloated and yucky. Definitely in the home stretch though!
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O? We were both part of the same car club. I had the sticker on one of my back windows, and he made a post on the local board of that forum asking who the chick in the black GS-T was. He was all full of himself, and was like "You should totally PM me your number". So, being my smartass self (and after all the other guys were chiming in on the matter), I sent him a PM and the number I gave him at the end of my message was 817-555-1234. #likeDUH He immediately replies back with a cocky reply of "Well, I don't think I'll probably call you. I'm a pretty busy kind of guy. But thanks anyway." ...well the next day I get another PM saying something to the tune of he did try to call me, until he called the number I gave him and totally realized it was fake and that he felt like an ass and that I totally one upped him. HA. And I have been one upping him ever since
WAYDTGKU: Started my 4th round of letrozole this morning. HSG next week.
R/R/CS: Nothing much to report. Even though I've been off of birth control for 8 months, my period cramps still surprise me. I'll be okay all day then as soon as I lay down in bed it's like.. eesh. Last night DH was like 'at least when you're pregnant you won't have to worry about cramps!'. Oh sweet DH. Pretty sure pregnancy has way worse symptoms than once a month period cramps.
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O? Plenty of Fish. I got home permanently from cruise ships in July 2012 and was dating a guy who I had worked with on ships but he was living in Vegas. I live in Ontario. I visited him on my way home from my last cruise contract in Galveston and then again in September and I knew on that last visit that things weren't going to work out. I broke it off in October and started internet dating. Started talking to DH online in November, met him for a first date the week before Christmas, and we've been together since .
Me: 32 DH: 33 Married: October 2015 TTC #1: October 2015 EDD #1: June/July 2017
@Krys aahhhh noooo I hope it is not the pre O dip!! FX your body hold out for a few more days!!! LOL with your H's cockiness.. LMAO. I love how you one up'd him. Such an awesome way to meet!
@krys lol I like this one! Eta: what the bump ate (I have been slow these past few days getting dh on his way, so I havent had time to really check tb till he walks out the door....) :p
Cycle 24 temping, 6 ntnp, 9 ttc (How many times am I going to type 8 beforebefore I type 9??)
Eta cd6
WAYDTGKU started mucinex and opks today...
RRCS not much to report. Temps the last two days were 97.00 and 97.01. Weird.
GTKY like @Marley629 apparently NJ is the biggest small town you'll ever live in, like the whole state. Cos DH and I had a lot of mutual friends, too... I had a buddy playing a jazz show in town, and asked me if I could come and maybe get some friends for some support. So I was looking on fb to message some peeps who might be looking for something to do on a Friday night, and when his face popped up as a friend of a friend, I was like, "hey! I know that guy!" Cos I had seen him around. I didnt figure he woukd actually show, but sure enough, he brought a buddy, and I was getting All the butterflies!!!! Next show, closer to Xmas-time, he came out again, this time though, he came alobe. ;) and the rest is history!
@GrabberBlue2010 that little blob gif is exactly how I feel this morning! Haha
Month/Cycle: 10/4
CD: 76.... I think
WAYDTGKU: just finished Provera this morning!
R/R/CS: I forgot to bring pads/tampons to work but fortunately the eaaaarliest I'll get AF is tomorrow so not too worried about it today. I'm excited to get this next cycle going! And the timing will be perfect for DH and I to bone every day! I'm dancing on the inside while sitting at my desk
GTKY: We met in college while he was visiting his girlfriend and I had become friends with his high school buddies. We bonded over LOTR and smoking cigars. He was going to play his guitar with his friends and as his girlfriend at the time was leaving, she looked at me and said "don't look him in the eyes or else you'll fall in love." And then she slammed the door. It was awkward at the time haha but I guess i looked him in the eyes!
R/R/CS: I feel that O is coming soon - even though it's early and I don't think I'm supposed to O so soon after finishing clomid. Big temp drop this morning. scan tomorrow tomorrow morning to check follicle growth so we'll see.
@Marley629 Hope you have a wonderfully relaxing day!
Month/ Cycle: 11/12
CD: 2
WAYDTGKU: Right now I am enjoying not having to pee on anything and trying to build up motivation to go one more cycle. After that, we are able to start getting the professionals involved.
R/R/CS: 2 more work days to go before the weekend is here! Whoooo Hoooo! It is supposed to be another hot one here, so I will enjoy the day working in A/C and than tonight we are going to head out on another bike ride! TTC-related I just feel not good right now. I am losing all motivation. H and I talked about it last night and if this cycle doesn't work out, we will book appointments with out Drs. We were told previously that because we are both "young and healthy that we should have no issues getting KU" and that we had to wait the full year. It feels good to have some sort of plan, but also really shitty that this is where we are at. Sorry, I promise not to be a debbie-downer all week.
GTKY:I love reading these kinda stories! I was kinda dating his friend and we all went out one night. Long story short, his friend was a really loser and H and I ended up talking all night. A few weeks later, when things didn't work out between his friend and I, H asked for my number and we have been together ever since.
R/R/CS: rave-vacation starts today. rant-I think my mom is going around telling everyone I'm TTC and I'm not happy about that.
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O? We met in college. We were in this leadership program together freshman year, but didn't get together until sophomore year when a mutual friend who was interested in me invited me to a party at his place. DH was there and things unfolded from that night.
DD #1: April 2017 DD #2: May 2020 Baby #3: EDD May 2023; MC October 2022
I am loving all the Match (and Match brand) stories @GrabberBlue2010@MelissaM090 and @Daisy621 (in case y'all missed it in one of the earlier GTKYs, that's where I work!)
@krys sorry! I'm a west coaster. I wake up pretty early, but by the time I wake up on the west coast, most east coasters are already awake. And Asia....haha what's the time difference there? Is it even still Wednesday?
Month/Cycle: 8/8 (4/4 TTCAL)
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: Temping. Plan to HIO at least EOD
R/R/CS: This is the boring part of my cycle. Still have about 10 days til O.
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O?
I met DH about 10 1/2 years ago when I was 17/18 years old. Is it bad that I can't remember exactly when? We worked together at a local pizza restaurant. At first, he was just another coworker and I had a BF at the time. Over the years, we would leave the pizza restaurant (college, other employment, etc) but we always ended up coming back (needing employment or 2nd job) and the other one was always back as well. Our friendship grew and by the time we started dating in 2011, he had 2 sons from his previous relationship. We got pregnant with DS fairly quickly (5 months into our relationship). We got engaged a year after dating. And married a year after that.
WAYDTGKU:pnv, all the teas, acupuncture, OPK, temping when I can
R/R/CS: acupuncture was great yesterday, I was definitely more sensitive, which I generally am during FW. Drinking lots of tea and upping the water today. Allergies have been bad but I dont want meds to dry me out so acupuncturist gave me something. I have to admit it's not relieving all of my symptoms but making life tolerable.
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O?
Knew him in HS but we're were dating other people. Later in life met him again at a bar after I was divorced. Loved his company and the rest is history
haha @krys@GrabberBlue2010 There have been a couple days where i wanted to start it but all my GTKY questions were so lame
@Marley629 Happy happy birthday!! Enjoy your family day!
@PepperAT i wasn't on yesterday, but i wanted to say I'm sorry to see you back here
Cycle/Month: 3/3 TTCAL
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: PNV, tracking cm, BBT, RRL tea, vitex, finally HIO
R/R/CS: I was fully expecting to have to wait another week for O, but i actually got some EWCM yesterday! Even if I don't O for another couple days, that would still be a huge improvement. I let DH know that it was time and just sent him a wink face...game on!
Also what is the deal with all the TOU violation posts?? There have been like 5 or 6 since this weekend?? It's just so weird how there will be nothing, and then suddenly a mass wave of craziness!
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O? We actually met in high school! He was part of our "lunch crew" even though he was a year ahead of me. We initially became really good friends and i was actually trying to help set him up with another friend of mine. Luckily he came around and realized he wanted to be with me before anything happened with the other girl. Needless to say, she wasn't too happy and we weren't really friends after that O-well! We've been together ever since so it was obviously meant to be. I won
R/R/CS: Since I never left WTO because I didn't O this cycle, I can't say "I'm back" but here I am on CD1. I'm happy to start the cycle because I was so much later than normal. However, after this round of Clomid, we have to go see a specialist if we aren't KU. That feels like so much pressure...I'm going to stop temping because my temps were ALL over the place (I don't sleep well) but I am going to start trying OPKs when the time comes. I WILL need some advice from you experts!
But for now, I'm just all
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O? We met in college at a party. His two BFFs in his fraternity were dating my two BFFs in my sorority. We showed up to a party wearing the same baseball cap and ended up talking until the sun came up. Just celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary
Formerly ahrains Me:

@Marley629 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope it's wonderful @GrabberBlue2010 andplusalso blueberry donuts are my favorite kind! @PepperAT Sorry you're back here @KirstinH88 - It is still Wednesday: it's 9:42PM here now (8:42 AM Dallas time). I work Dallas hours when I'm here, so I leave the hotel at 8:30PM and go back at 6AM.
@ahrains I swear to god, if I have that damn I'm on a Boat song stuck in my head today, I AM COMING FOR YOU! (i got my swim trunks, i got my flippy floopies...i'm ridin on a dolphin, doin flips n shit NOOOOOOo make it stop)
@Krys I asked this same GTKY question a few months ago, and I loved the responses then! I was surprised to see so many people had met their SO's online! It's a great question to ask every few months as new people are always rolling in! Cute story about you and your DH!
WAYDTGKU: PNV, Vit D, Baby Aspirin, Letrozole 7.5mg, Trigger, IUI
R/R/CS: Helllllooooo follicles! I had two mature follicles this morning, 18mm and 23mm, so the nurse triggered me! IUI is tomorrow morning at 9:45!
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O? We met on POF (Plenty of Fish). His co-workers had talked him into creating an account just to see what kind of girls were on it. He only talked to one other person, and he said she was way too forward. He went on to delete his account that day, and had seen that I had clicked "yes" I'd meet him. I had been on a few dates with guys that just didn't work out. I was just coming out of this "not relationship/hook up" thing, with a guy I had met on the site that I really liked. It had been going on for almost a year at that point and I wanted commitment, he only wanted booty apparently. He was an asswipe. Anyway, DH sent me a message and three years and a wedding later, here we are
R/R/CS: Well not much but the BS from yesterday with my family, now apparently I have been dubbed the worst family member on the face of the planet.. I'm to the point that I don't care honestly and I told them that. But it's hump day!! So I'm extra excited about that DH signed his first long term government security contract for our company at exactly 9:05AM this morning, so I am very proud of him because it took us 1 year to get this contract and now it's ours for the next 5 years. Celebration tonight! I found that my MIL is much more supportive than my own mother is about us TTC, which we are both happy about she literally said she is just sitting back waiting for the news, we told her when we know she will to lol. So I am just trying to coast through today and make it to my special time with DH tonight.
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O? We met at Columbia Mall in Columbia, MD. We literally ran into each other lol, both of us where walking and on our phone and we ran face first into each other. After a few laughs and I'm sorry's we looked into each others eyes and have been together since then lol. He is my best friend and I tell him that every day.
**formerly jnalexander2** Me: 29 DH: 26 Married: March 2016 Jordyn: 7/7/10 Jiselle: 2/22/12 Camille: 6/2/17 Trying for #4
R/R/CS: I *think* my OPK was relatively positive this morning. I really wish I had a real life friend that was going through this with me so we could compare notes.
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O? We went to high school together but didn't start dating until a few years after. We were good friends but his step-dad (who was more of a father than his biological father) died unexpectedly on Christmas Eve and he really needed someone so we started to spend more time together and the rest is history.
R/R/CS: DH is out of town for the next 3 days - I'm pretty sure I'm ok O wise - but we will def have to knock boots quite a bit when he gets back.
So this past weekend I got sunburned on my chest and legs. Yesterday both felt fine - although my chest was still pretty red. I decided I was going to try and workout and see how it felt. Y'all.
It didn't hurt at the time but OMG - afterwards, my chest was covered in heat blisters. I immediately put ice packs on and walked around topless the rest of the day. DH did not complain.
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O? On the interwebz! It was through a dating site - although I can't remember which one. Maybe Yahoo Personals? Back when that was a thing
This is completely random for this board, and I know @TheJerilu (who I believe did it last month?) isn't even in WTO right now, but we need to vote for June Siggy Challenge! And vote for July Siggy Challenge. If I knew how to make the voting thingy, I'd do it. Alas, I am challenged in that particularly bump feature!
@Marley629 Happy Birthday!! Enjoy it. @GrabberBlue2010 I am your emoji. @Krys Hope it holds out until you are back!! @MelissaM090 Sorry about the cramps love! @BusinessWife Love your story! My DH actually showed up alone the second time we met up in NY and I was like ohhhhhh haha @mokay19 Yesss for your timing on the next cycle. @PepperAT Sending all good vibes your way for next cycle! @leekat14 Sorry about the allergies that feeling is literally the WORST. @jatwal128 "I won" haha I love that!! @ahrains Obsessed with your gif game today! All the FX that this is your cycle!!
Cycle/Month: 6
CD: 26
WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK, HIO
R/R/CS: So, despite all my efforts to be positive yesterday I got a negative OPK when I got home and I just felt broke down. I think it kind of put a damper on our anniversary celebrations honestly. We didn't even HIO when we came home. We both just needed a new day. I know I haven't been at this that long but I was just so disillusioned by this weird extra long cycle. Anyway, I took an OPK this morning and it was positive!! Wohooo!!!
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O? I knew him in high school and we were friends. That turned into a little more during senior week/summer before we both were going to the same college. He joined a fraternity and I think we both knew it wouldn't last if we tried to date in college so we ended it but we stayed friends. I later went to law school and was coming out of the worst relationship of my life (basically found out I was cheated on over a three year period) and was visiting my sister in NY. We literally ran into one another at a bar watching our college team. We did long distance for a year and then moved in. It was a long road but the great part is we have known one another forever.
@Marley629 Happy birthday! @PepperAT I'm sorry. Reaching the 1 year mark sucks. FX and Hugs for you! @ahrains Sorry about CD1 @mrsdaddario Hurray for mature follicles! FX for your IUI @jnalexander2 Your "how did you meet" sounds like a scene from a movie! I love it.
I tried the double tab thing some people were talking about yesterday... So much easier than scrolling.
Cycle/Month: 15/13
CD: 4
WAYDTGKU: Temping, CM, Losing Weight, Sex, Green Tea, Vitex
R/R/CS: Nothing new from yesterday. I think AF will be over today so that's good!
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O? We met at a church summer camp when I was in 8th grade and he was in highschool. We starting liking each other maybe a year later, and starting chatting over MSN Messenger pretty regularly. We didn't start dating until my Jr. year of high school when he was in college, then we dated long distance for 2 years, I chose to go to the same college as him and we got married after my sophomore year in college. Advice-defying camp relationship for the win!

@mrsdaddario - HHHEECCCKKKK YYYESSSS. FX for you!!!
@jnalexander2 - good for you sticking up for yourself!!! She is a grown adult. And acting like a child. Oh man I could go on a rant right about now.. but I wont. Yay for DH!!! So happy for him/you!!
R/R/CS: I'm using OPKs for the first time and they are making me crazy. They seemed to be getting slightly darker but this morning (not FMU) was lighter. I don't know if that's normal, but I feel like it's not.
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O? On POF. I was a few months out from a divorce. I had been "dating" a lot. I had just sworn off 22 year olds (I was 26) because they all acted like children. I'm glad I broke that rule for one more 22 year old. We talked for about a month, then he asked me to go bowling. I wasn't sure I even liked him so I made plans with friends for afterwards! I knew he was it from the first time I saw him. We have been inseparable since and we just got married 2 months ago!

I absolutely love everyones story of how they met SO! This is a great question @krys!
@Marley629 Happy Birthday! Hope you have a wonderful day!
@Krys Fx that O holds off! When do you get home? That's great that you can still work your normal Dallas hours so your schedule doesn't get thrown off too much.
@mokay19 Your story intrigues me to know what your H's eyes look like. haha! Also, how creepy of the then-gf. She must have felt some kind of connection between the two of you.
@PepperAT Sorry that you are approaching the 1 year mark. Fx that this is your cycle or that you can get the help you need next month.
@ahrains Fx for this new cycle. I can't imagine what its like to not even ovulate because our body isn't even giving you a chance! I am so sorry and will keep my fx for you. Also, congrats on 19 years!
Stupid Bump. I commented to every ONE and it ate my post!!!
@GrabberBlue2010 cute story! Made me go aww. I'm sorry for the previous hurt you were in. Thank goodness for your DH! @Marley629 Happy Birthday!! @Krys oh no wait O!! But I love cocky men trying to hit on you, and then you one up him. Yours is a sexy story! @MelissaM090 I feel the same way about BCP. I have been guilty saying I miss them r.e. acne, cramps, hemorrhaging AF.. @mokay19 omg I saw your CD and I choked. But I'm so glad you have a positive outlook and AF is coming soon!! @Daisy621 ooo well Fx for the follie scan! @PepperAT you are so strong making it through this year. I'm glad you and him have a plan. /hugs @yaeger07 if it was anything like the parties my DH and I went to.. uh oh! I met my DH my freshman year too. @KirstinH88 I don't remember a lot of details DH wishes I would remember, too. like our dating anniversary... whoops. @leekat14 Yay for the acupuncturist! Makes me want to try it.. @jatwal128 isn't it crazy how they all come out at the same time? Don't they read any other posts first to see if something sounds like their problem?? (All of them are similar!!)
Cycle/Month: 2/4 (1 TTCAL )
CD: 19
WAYDTGKU: we HIO last night, and we are done now. DH has been such a trooper.
R/R/CS: I don't know if I should be in TWW.. when I put my temp in today, FF gave me dashed CH for CD15. But I f with it all the time and discarded my 2 high and low outlier temps and then it will give me solid CH tomorrow for CD17. I trust CD 17 given CM. Stalk if you wish.
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O? We met our freshman year, spring semester, in Physics class. We were in the same Lab, and the teacher made us consolidate to tables in the front, and he sat across from me. My first opinion was he's tall, a jock, muscular, and he has a faux hawk. .. not my type. He kept asking to borrow my giant pink eraser (which annoyed the shit out of me, don't you come prepared??) and was trying to figure out my name written on it. That night I got a friend request and message from "some guy" and I told my roommates "I have no idea who this creepy guy is!!!". The next day in lecture hall, I was sitting in the front row cuz I'm a nerd and I hear behind me, "there's a really hot redhead in my lab.." etc etc and I turn around and it's him talking about me to his friend! We made eye contact and he said Shit that's her! He asked me over to work on physics homework several times over the next month, until one day when he put the moves on and turned the music and black lights on. He asked permission to kiss me, then asked permission to grab my boob, and finally asked permission to go further. I continued to go over frequently to "work on physics homework" and the rest is history!!
Obligatory picture of the fauk hawk:
He had so much hair back then.
Promise we are not so creepy looking all the time..
WAYDTGKU: Charting, PNV, EPO, B6, CoQ10, RRL and green tea, Mucinex and OPKs near FW, FWP when OH and I are in the same zip code
R/R/CS: If I get one more higher temp, I should get cross hairs tomorrow. It's looking like I O'd on CD15, which will give us the timing I was hoping for.
I'm not sure what changed, but I continued to get some pretty serious EWCM yesterday, which I normally don't see much, if any, of. I've been taking EPO and Mucinex and drinking green tea for months; maybe those finally had noticeable results? I did see my acupuncturist on Monday. I'm seeing her to work on my migraines since I can't take my prophylactic med while TTC/KU. She has me come in around O and AF because the hormonal changes may cause or exacerbate them. Anyway, she's aware that we're TTC and she makes sure to keep that in mind with her treatment, and I'm pretty sure she sneaks some helpful stuff in there, too. I don't know whether that has anything to do with the suddenly visible CM, but I'll take any help I can get! GTKY: OH and I met through a local dating website that was around at the time. It was kind of different because they sent someone to your house to interview you and check ID, so I guess less lying about your age or marital status. They also sent you to a professional photographer for profile pics. It was obviously expensive, but I thought what the heck. The guy that came to interview me had met OH a couple of weeks prior, and at the end of our chat, he told me about him and that he thought I would like him. I looked him up right away but for some reason I was nervous, so I didn't message him. There were a few guys that messaged me right away, so I talked to them. I don't think I liked any of them and didn't go out on any dates. Finally, after a busy few weeks of being MOH in my best friend's wedding 400 miles from where I live, I came home and messaged him. On our first date, I told him about how the interviewer had recommended him to me, and he said "he didn't do that for me!" I was like, "I think he did! He did it for both of us, don't you think?"

WAYDTGKU: Nothing... sleeping. It is fab.
R/R/CS: Not too much to report today. I have to train someone on the operating system at work this morning. It is totally going to cut into my bump time. Hopefully it will not be an all day thing.
Temp went down a bit again this morning. And I do not feel so great. Headache. Dizzy. Meh.
But... I had a blueberry donut for breakfast. And by "a" blueberry donut I mean two.
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O?
We met on OkCupid. I was fresh out of my previous marriage and a total man hater. Had been on several dates but was just terribly bitter. I had went to dinner with some guy the night before and I swore I was just going to be alone for awhile and just forget dating for awhile. DH messaged me on OKC the day I moved out of my house and I decided his date offering (dinner and bowling) sounded fun. I knew the moment I laid eyes on him he was the one. He instantly melted my icy broken heart and mended all its pieces. We have been inseparable since.

Also means we can't HIO for 48 hours afterwards and then OH works Sunday so basically I have maybe Monday and possibly Tuesday to get it in for FW. Rave: it's my bday today so I took a personal day and we are headed for the Land of Make Believe for a family day with DS! I can't wait to float down the lazy river
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O? We met at a bar down at the Jersey Shore...we had many mutual friends but from different groups of friends and I lived down the shore permanently at that point..so I may or may not have been a little tipsy when I noticed him talking to MY friends (which turned out to be his friends too) throughout the night and he may have heard me say to my roommates "who the eff is this guy and how does he know everybody?"...the rest is history We have been together 4 years and are currently planning our wedding for April 2018.

WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPK, PNV
R/R/CS: Had a another temp drop...REALLY hoping that doesn't mean O is around the corner. OPK was lighter than the past few days. Holding steady on everything else. I'm seriously ready to be home so I can cook again. "Eating out" for every meal is just killing me. The options here are not very good. I feel so bloated and yucky. Definitely in the home stretch though!
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O? We were both part of the same car club. I had the sticker on one of my back windows, and he made a post on the local board of that forum asking who the chick in the black GS-T was. He was all full of himself, and was like "You should totally PM me your number". So, being my smartass self (and after all the other guys were chiming in on the matter), I sent him a PM and the number I gave him at the end of my message was 817-555-1234. #likeDUH He immediately replies back with a cocky reply of "Well, I don't think I'll probably call you. I'm a pretty busy kind of guy. But thanks anyway." ...well the next day I get another PM saying something to the tune of he did try to call me, until he called the number I gave him and totally realized it was fake and that he felt like an ass and that I totally one upped him. HA. And I have been one upping him ever since

WAYDTGKU: Started my 4th round of letrozole this morning. HSG next week.
R/R/CS: Nothing much to report. Even though I've been off of birth control for 8 months, my period cramps still surprise me. I'll be okay all day then as soon as I lay down in bed it's like.. eesh. Last night DH was like 'at least when you're pregnant you won't have to worry about cramps!'. Oh sweet DH. Pretty sure pregnancy has way worse symptoms than once a month period cramps.
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O? Plenty of Fish. I got home permanently from cruise ships in July 2012 and was dating a guy who I had worked with on ships but he was living in Vegas. I live in Ontario. I visited him on my way home from my last cruise contract in Galveston and then again in September and I knew on that last visit that things weren't going to work out. I broke it off in October and started internet dating. Started talking to DH online in November, met him for a first date the week before Christmas, and we've been together since .

RRCS not much to report. Temps the last two days were 97.00 and 97.01. Weird.
GTKY like @Marley629 apparently NJ is the biggest small town you'll ever live in, like the whole state. Cos DH and I had a lot of mutual friends, too... I had a buddy playing a jazz show in town, and asked me if I could come and maybe get some friends for some support. So I was looking on fb to message some peeps who might be looking for something to do on a Friday night, and when his face popped up as a friend of a friend, I was like, "hey! I know that guy!" Cos I had seen him around. I didnt figure he woukd actually show, but sure enough, he brought a buddy, and I was getting All the butterflies!!!! Next show, closer to Xmas-time, he came out again, this time though, he came alobe. ;) and the rest is history!

GTKY: We met in college while he was visiting his girlfriend and I had become friends with his high school buddies. We bonded over LOTR and smoking cigars. He was going to play his guitar with his friends and as his girlfriend at the time was leaving, she looked at me and said "don't look him in the eyes or else you'll fall in love." And then she slammed the door. It was awkward at the time haha but I guess i looked him in the eyes!

R/R/CS: 2 more work days to go before the weekend is here! Whoooo Hoooo! It is supposed to be another hot one here, so I will enjoy the day working in A/C and than tonight we are going to head out on another bike ride!
TTC-related I just feel not good right now. I am losing all motivation. H and I talked about it last night and if this cycle doesn't work out, we will book appointments with out Drs. We were told previously that because we are both "young and healthy that we should have no issues getting KU" and that we had to wait the full year. It feels good to have some sort of plan, but also really shitty that this is where we are at. Sorry, I promise not to be a debbie-downer all week.
GTKY:I love reading these kinda stories! I was kinda dating his friend and we all went out one night. Long story short, his friend was a really loser and H and I ended up talking all night. A few weeks later, when things didn't work out between his friend and I, H asked for my number and we have been together ever since.

R/R/CS: acupuncture was great yesterday, I was definitely more sensitive, which I generally am during FW. Drinking lots of tea and upping the water today. Allergies have been bad but I dont want meds to dry me out so acupuncturist gave me something. I have to admit it's not relieving all of my symptoms but making life tolerable.
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O?
Knew him in HS but we're were dating other people. Later in life met him again at a bar after I was divorced. Loved his company and the rest is history

R/R/CS: I was fully expecting to have to wait another week for O, but i actually got some EWCM yesterday! Even if I don't O for another couple days, that would still be a huge improvement. I let DH know that it was time and just sent him a wink face...game on!
Also what is the deal with all the TOU violation posts?? There have been like 5 or 6 since this weekend?? It's just so weird how there will be nothing, and then suddenly a mass wave of craziness!
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O? We actually met in high school! He was part of our "lunch crew" even though he was a year ahead of me. We initially became really good friends and i was actually trying to help set him up with another friend of mine. Luckily he came around and realized he wanted to be with me before anything happened with the other girl. Needless to say, she wasn't too happy and we weren't really friends after that O-well! We've been together ever since so it was obviously meant to be. I won

R/R/CS: Since I never left WTO because I didn't O this cycle, I can't say "I'm back" but here I am on CD1. I'm happy to start the cycle because I was so much later than normal. However, after this round of Clomid, we have to go see a specialist if we aren't KU. That feels like so much pressure...I'm going to stop temping because my temps were ALL over the place (I don't sleep well) but I am going to start trying OPKs when the time comes. I WILL need some advice from you experts!
But for now, I'm just all

We met on POF (Plenty of Fish). His co-workers had talked him into creating an account just to see what kind of girls were on it. He only talked to one other person, and he said she was way too forward. He went on to delete his account that day, and had seen that I had clicked "yes" I'd meet him. I had been on a few dates with guys that just didn't work out. I was just coming out of this "not relationship/hook up" thing, with a guy I had met on the site that I really liked. It had been going on for almost a year at that point and I wanted commitment, he only wanted booty apparently. He was an asswipe. Anyway, DH sent me a message and three years and a wedding later, here we are

R/R/CS: Well not much but the BS from yesterday with my family, now apparently I have been dubbed the worst family member on the face of the planet.. I'm to the point that I don't care honestly and I told them that. But it's hump day!! So I'm extra excited about that DH signed his first long term government security contract for our company at exactly 9:05AM this morning, so I am very proud of him because it took us 1 year to get this contract and now it's ours for the next 5 years. Celebration tonight! I found that my MIL is much more supportive than my own mother is about us TTC, which we are both happy about she literally said she is just sitting back waiting for the news, we told her when we know she will to lol. So I am just trying to coast through today and make it to my special time with DH tonight.
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O?
We met at Columbia Mall in Columbia, MD. We literally ran into each other lol, both of us where walking and on our phone and we ran face first into each other.

So this past weekend I got sunburned on my chest and legs. Yesterday both felt fine - although my chest was still pretty red. I decided I was going to try and workout and see how it felt. Y'all.
It didn't hurt at the time but OMG - afterwards, my chest was covered in heat blisters. I immediately put ice packs on and walked around topless the rest of the day. DH did not complain.
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O? On the interwebz! It was through a dating site - although I can't remember which one. Maybe Yahoo Personals? Back when that was a thing

R/R/CS: So, despite all my efforts to be positive yesterday I got a negative OPK when I got home and I just felt broke down. I think it kind of put a damper on our anniversary celebrations honestly. We didn't even HIO when we came home. We both just needed a new day. I know I haven't been at this that long but I was just so disillusioned by this weird extra long cycle. Anyway, I took an OPK this morning and it was positive!! Wohooo!!!
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O? I knew him in high school and we were friends. That turned into a little more during senior week/summer before we both were going to the same college. He joined a fraternity and I think we both knew it wouldn't last if we tried to date in college so we ended it but we stayed friends. I later went to law school and was coming out of the worst relationship of my life (basically found out I was cheated on over a three year period) and was visiting my sister in NY. We literally ran into one another at a bar watching our college team. We did long distance for a year and then moved in. It was a long road but the great part is we have known one another forever.
@PepperAT I'm sorry. Reaching the 1 year mark sucks. FX and Hugs for you!

We didn't start dating until my Jr. year of high school when he was in college, then we dated long distance for 2 years, I chose to go to the same college as him and we got married after my sophomore year in college. Advice-defying camp relationship for the win!

GTKY: How did you meet your S/O? On POF. I was a few months out from a divorce. I had been "dating" a lot. I had just sworn off 22 year olds (I was 26) because they all acted like children. I'm glad I broke that rule for one more 22 year old. We talked for about a month, then he asked me to go bowling. I wasn't sure I even liked him so I made plans with friends for afterwards! I knew he was it from the first time I saw him. We have been inseparable since and we just got married 2 months ago!

@yaeger07 if it was anything like the parties my DH and I went to.. uh oh! I met my DH my freshman year too.
@KirstinH88 I don't remember a lot of details DH wishes I would remember, too. like our dating anniversary... whoops.
@leekat14 Yay for the acupuncturist! Makes me want to try it..
@jatwal128 isn't it crazy how they all come out at the same time? Don't they read any other posts first to see if something sounds like their problem?? (All of them are similar!!)
Cycle/Month: 2/4 (1 TTCAL )

WAYDTGKU: we HIO last night, and we are done now. DH has been such a trooper.
R/R/CS: I don't know if I should be in TWW.. when I put my temp in today, FF gave me dashed CH for CD15. But I f with it all the time and discarded my 2 high and low outlier temps and then it will give me solid CH tomorrow for CD17. I trust CD 17 given CM. Stalk if you wish.
GTKY: How did you meet your S/O? We met our freshman year, spring semester, in Physics class. We were in the same Lab, and the teacher made us consolidate to tables in the front, and he sat across from me. My first opinion was he's tall, a jock, muscular, and he has a faux hawk. .. not my type. He kept asking to borrow my giant pink eraser (which annoyed the shit out of me, don't you come prepared??) and was trying to figure out my name written on it. That night I got a friend request and message from "some guy" and I told my roommates "I have no idea who this creepy guy is!!!". The next day in lecture hall, I was sitting in the front row cuz I'm a nerd and I hear behind me, "there's a really hot redhead in my lab.." etc etc and I turn around and it's him talking about me to his friend! We made eye contact and he said Shit that's her! He asked me over to work on physics homework several times over the next month, until one day when he put the moves on and turned the music and black lights on. He asked permission to kiss me, then asked permission to grab my boob, and finally asked permission to go further. I continued to go over frequently to "work on physics homework" and the rest is history!!
Obligatory picture of the fauk hawk:
He had so much hair back then.
Promise we are not so creepy looking all the time..

WAYDTGKU: Charting, PNV, EPO, B6, CoQ10, RRL and green tea, Mucinex and OPKs near FW, FWP when OH and I are in the same zip code
R/R/CS: If I get one more higher temp, I should get cross hairs tomorrow. It's looking like I O'd on CD15, which will give us the timing I was hoping for.
I'm not sure what changed, but I continued to get some pretty serious EWCM yesterday, which I normally don't see much, if any, of. I've been taking EPO and Mucinex and drinking green tea for months; maybe those finally had noticeable results? I did see my acupuncturist on Monday. I'm seeing her to work on my migraines since I can't take my prophylactic med while TTC/KU. She has me come in around O and AF because the hormonal changes may cause or exacerbate them. Anyway, she's aware that we're TTC and she makes sure to keep that in mind with her treatment, and I'm pretty sure she sneaks some helpful stuff in there, too. I don't know whether that has anything to do with the suddenly visible CM, but I'll take any help I can get!
GTKY: OH and I met through a local dating website that was around at the time. It was kind of different because they sent someone to your house to interview you and check ID, so I guess less lying about your age or marital status. They also sent you to a professional photographer for profile pics. It was obviously expensive, but I thought what the heck. The guy that came to interview me had met OH a couple of weeks prior, and at the end of our chat, he told me about him and that he thought I would like him. I looked him up right away but for some reason I was nervous, so I didn't message him. There were a few guys that messaged me right away, so I talked to them. I don't think I liked any of them and didn't go out on any dates. Finally, after a busy few weeks of being MOH in my best friend's wedding 400 miles from where I live, I came home and messaged him. On our first date, I told him about how the interviewer had recommended him to me, and he said "he didn't do that for me!" I was like, "I think he did! He did it for both of us, don't you think?"
