    GTKY: How did you and your SO meet?
    We met at a WHL hockey game. He was a friend of my little sister. We're both fairly shy so she "made" him ask for my number. We started texting... I asked him on a date and here we are almost 5 years later.

    Testing Plans: None yet.  At least not before AF is due

    Rants/Raves/Etc: Meh.  Snow.  We're venturing out today but the windchill is going to be below freezing I think.

    GTKY: How did you and your SO meet?  Boring - just had some mutual friends.
  • Cycle/Month: 4/4

    CD/DPO: 23/8

    Timing: Pretty good

    Testing Plans: Not until missed period

    Rants/Raves/Etc: My boobs aren't as sore this morning as they were yesterday so that's nice I don't have to walk around holding them all day. I'm getting close to when I tested last month and saw my squinter. It's making me really nervous because I want to test early but I don't want to see something and then have it end like it did last month. It's a total emotional roller coaster. I've been going back and forth trying to decide if testing on 13dpo would be better. I think that's what I might end up doing.

    GTKY: How did you and your SO meet?
    One of my sorority sisters grew up with him and introduced us my senior year of college. I had just gotten out of a really bad relationship so I was in know state to date. So after meeting him one night out with a group of friends, I decided that it wouldn't be so bad to talk to him and hang out. After a couple of group get togethers, he asked me out to dinner and it was all done from then on.

  • @cnf2013 Thanks so much for this GTKY - this is actually one of my favorite questions to ask couples!

    @alexkylee Our LOs have the same birthday! Were you on the July 2013 bump board as well?

    Cycle/Month: 5/4
    CD/DPO: 23/9
    Timing: Good

    Testing Plans: This Sat if no AF by then, but not optimistic as temps have plummeted 4 days in a row.
    Rants/Raves/Etc: 
    GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? At a mutual friend's housewarming/leap year day party on Feb. 29, 2008. I saw this tall, nerdy drink of water enter the party and thought he was so cute! I cornered him and the rest ... is history!

    Timing: -2, O

     

    Testing Plans: I was silly and tested yesterday afternoon.  Obv BFN.  I reached for a test this morning but was able to stop myself.  I'll test Sat or Sun morning. 

    Rants/Raves/Etc: Well, that whole testing at 5 DPO is pretty crazy.  I've been a little more emotional than usual.  I get a little weepy & extremely bitchy 2-3 days before AF.  This it's much earlier than usual. 

    GTKY: How did you and your SO meet?  We worked together at a music store.  He was the boss, we dated on the DL for a couple of months before I got a new job.  We later found out that everyone knew.  oh well!
     
    ETA: Sorry about the BFN  @cnf2013.  FX for you!

    @Ali_P7 First month trying can be exciting to test, but I wouldn't even think of testing until at least 8 dpo, even that is a stretch.  Implantation takes 7-10 days so it is pretty much impossible to get a positive test at 6 days.  If you go into the newbie blog, it shows HPT accuracy.  It only starts at 10dpo which shows only 35% being accurate.  Trying to save you some money!

    Thanks @hovenb I do appreciate the advice :)

    The craziest part is: I've read the newbie blog & have been lurking here since March when I thought maybe I was pg (so I've seen the accuracy chart as a response in many threads).  I know there's no way to get an accurate result on 6 DPO.  And yet, I simply couldn't stop myself from peeing on that stick!  I'd better get my "TWW craziness" in check or this will be a loooong journey!

     


  • Sorry for the BFN, @cnf2013 - fx you're not out this month! (Love the GTKY question, too!)

    Cycle/Month: 11 

    CD/DPO: 24/9 

    Timing: -2,-1,O,+1 

    Testing Plans: Not until next week

    Rants/Raves/Etc: I couldn't temp today because our dog woke me up once an our from 1-4, when MH's alarm went off (he doesn't usually have to go to work that early), and what sleep I got from 4 to 6:30 was nowhere near good enough to think my temp would be accurate. I know we're all still adjusting to my BIL moving out (BIL usually got home from work after midnight and would be up a while so he'd take care of the dog if he had to go outside), but still.

    GTKY: How did you and your SO meet?
    We met at a bar. He was there with his coworkers for happy hour, I was at the same bar with mine. Turns out one of my coworkers is an old friend of his, so she introduced us. He would occasionally leave his coworkers to chat with us, and eventually just ditched them entirely to hang. Funny thing is, the mutual friend wanted to set me up with his brother, who was going to be joining him later in the evening. :P

  • @longhornwino0907 That's awesome! I had my account set up for only in the US. When I switched it to a worldwide search he was one of the first guys to appear. He had almost nothing in his profile (which I later learned is just because he doesn't really say much) but it seemed real. And then I saw his pictures and I was like, "Well, I guess I can reply to the wink." Glad I did!

    Rants/Raves/Etc: Bright red spotting this morning. Obviously hopeful it could be implantation but it doesn't seem likely. I've had long LPs up until now, so I'm hoping it's at least just spotting for a few more days! My temps look ok, but I haven't been sleeping well the past two nights so I'm not even confident in those. Meh.

    GTKY: How you and your SO meet? We met in our first class at college. We were both music majors and were in the same music theory class. We didnt start dating until sophmore year and 5 1/2 years later we will married a year in March.

    Hahaha. Well, there were a couple pictures with him with some short bathing suit shorts on and nothing else. Does that count? That *may* have influenced my desire to message him a little. They were cough nice cough photos.

    Rants/Raves/Etc: When women who have had TTTC get pregnant and all of a suddenly are full of complaints about being pregnant (the acne, the bloating, sensitive smell, unable to drink coffee/wine/cold cuts of meat etc..) and how hard it is..... BE THANKFUL! Many women would give ANYTHING to be in your shoes.. morning sickness and all. ~~ rant over :)


    GTKY: How did you and your SO meet?

    He knew who I was through my older brothers.. we ran into each other at a bar and he asked me to dance, we partied and stayed up all night. The next day, he surprised me and dropped off breakfast and a coffee at my work (knowing how hung over I would be) and asked me out for dinner that night. We've been BF's ever since <3<3

  • So I think I'm probably out.  Just got some brown spotting in my underwear... but none when I wiped.  Oh well, I figure AF in the next few days is inevitable now, at least I have a clue now and the crazy can disapate.

    ​Hi, guys I am a newbie so this is my fist time participated on the TWW thread

    Cycle: 2

    CD/DPO: 20/7

    Timing: Not great, O

    Testing Plans: Probably Sat (10 DPO)

    Rants/Raves/Etc: H got the flu a few days leading up to ovulation!! So that really messed up our timing. I am new to temping (so if you would like to chart stalk please go right a head) I also have dotted CH so I am hoping FF got it right this is my first month temping. I didn’t realize how much waking up at different times affects your temp. So I started setting an alarm on the weekends and my off days so that I could temp at the same time and that seemed to even out the crazy temps and open circles. I think I have it all worked out now. Not really feeling much of anything. I thought for sure I was pregnant last cycle even got a false positive so I am not playing into symptom spotting at ALL this go around.

    GTKY: We are high school sweethearts. We started dating in 9th grade and separated for a few years, got back together as seniors and the rest is history!!

    Rants/Raves/Etc: based on my last few cycles (post BCP, not temping) AF was due today. So glad I'm temping or else I would have turned into one of those 'zomg I'm two days late am I totes prego?!'

    GTKY: How did you and your SO meet?
    We went to high school together and were good friends. He dated a few of my really close friends but lost touch after HS. Ran into each other randomly years later and started hanging out but then lost touch again. He called me out of the blue one day a year later and that's the day I knew I was going to marry him. He proposed after we'd been dating for three months, and we just celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary.

    nandaboob06, this is pretty shitty. Hyperemesis gravidarum is real. Some women are in the hospital every day getting fluids because they can't eat or drink anything. They are risking their health for their precious bundle and not one of them would say they aren't thankful. I don't wish ill on you, but this is a ridiculous statement.
    A good friend of mine was so sick during her second pregnancy that she couldn't care for her first daughter. I don't think her complaints were off base...

    Kind of seems like we should all be supporting each other regardless of how long it takes for someone to conceive and how easy/hard the pregnancy is.

    @rufus426 I'm so glad your RE appointment went well. He/she sounds like a keeper!

    expatmama11

    Hey @thechickencoop, I'm just curious, what's with the big temp drop for you today?


    No clue.  I'm thinking I need a new thermometer because I've had quite a few 97.0 EXACTLY this cycle and isn't that the 'my battery is about to die' temp?  I'll give it a few  more days and see and maybe pick up a new one for next cycle.  ::shrug:: 
  • I LOOOOVE reading all of the meet-up stories!!!  H's and mine is just sooooo boring; sometimes I wish we had that random/funny/fairy-tale to tell to kids/grandkids when they grow up. 

    Side note too - my sister met her husband (just got married in October) on Match and one of her good friends gave her a bunch of shit about meeting someone on the internet, blah blah blah.  WTF?  Gah that made me so freakin angry that she did that.  Luckily she got her senses straight.

    Very good friends of mine really railed on me for meeting MH in real life after meeting him on the internet. I don't really know anyone who didn't think I was out of my mind. I don't see how it's that different than meeting someone in a bar.
