GTKY: what was your fist date with SO? Our first "official" date was dinner on my 20th birthday. He was so cute and brought me yellow roses. We had been hanging out for about 3 weeks before then doing movie nights and group stuff but that was out first formal thing. You know how it's kind of backward in college.

GTKY: Met at work. First hangout (outside of him finding reasons to come to my office) was me stopping at his go-to bar for a beer. First "official" date was a dinner at hibachi & going to the casino to play slots/blackjack.

WAYDTGKU: Temping, CM, PNVs, vitamin D, B6, B12, CoQ10, green tea, FertilityBlend supplement. Starting OPKs in a few days.
R/R: I'm watching the women's marathon in the Olympics this morning. It should be inspiring, but... man am I lazy.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Kind of like @SnobunnieMel my DH and I were friends in a large friend group for a long time in college before we hooked up. Our first "date" was after that, to get quesadillas at a place near campus just the two of us.
@tripledaggerwed95976 I am also slightly hungover which is odd because I really only had a few beers. My age is showing.
@adirat Ha!! I am also watching the marathon and thinking the same thing. They've been running for nearly two hours and I'm just like...I could maybe run for twenty minutes.

R/R: The highway I took to work yesterday ended up being down to 1 lane (from 3) and my 30 minute drive took an hour and 10 minutes
CS/Q: AF temps were in high 97s and they've dipped to high 96s post AF & flat 97 this AM. Does anyone else have elevated temp on AF? I always see people saying their temp drops BEFORE AF... I'm so new to this I worry I'm doing it wrong or my body is being weird!
GTKY: what was your first date with SO?
He was a creeper and picked me up at the bagel shop I worked at. I literally went over to his house on our first date and we made a key lime pie, except we burnt the crust in the oven so it was more like we just TRIED to make a key lime pie. My coworkers texted me a couple times throughout the night to make sure I was "okay"- I probably didn't know him well enough to just go to his house alone but hey I was young impulsive and excited. I keep telling him we should try to make that key lime pie again sometime but we haven't yet.

CS/Q: nope
GTKY: (sorry if this is a repeat to anything recent, inn picking up my activity back on this side) what was your first date with SO? We went to dinner (Mexican. Nom.) and a movie.

WAYDTGKU: all things when AF departs
R/R: currently in SO much pain. I pulled a muscle in my tailbone area picking up DS last week and it has gotten significantly worse and not better since. I'm at the point where sitting or laying down brings tears to my eyes from pain so I prob should get it looked at but I don't think there's anything they can do...selfishly, all I can think about is that this better not mess with my FW this cycle because I don't want to miss another opportunity.
CS/Q: I'll start temping again tomorrow. I took last cycle off since we were benched. It was nice to not have that stress but I also knew there wasn't any chance. I think not temping during a cycle we had a chance would stress me out too much
GTKY: (sorry if this is a repeat to anything recent, inn picking up my activity back on this side) what was your first date with SO?
we went to the boardwalk and played silly boardwalk games - he still insists I cheated at air hockey because I wore a low cut shirt and distracted him lol (LIES!). We ate pizza and fried pickles. It was prob the best first date I've ever had since it was pure fun and I had low expectations at that point since I had sworn off dating lol who knew?!?

GTKY: (sorry if this is a repeat to anything recent, inn picking up my activity back on this side) what was your first date with SO?
We were also friends for a long time before getting together. As friends, we had hung out just the two of us before, so there is some gray area about when our first "date" was. We were sort of in denial that we were becoming more than friends. Ha! We usually pin point it to a FroYo date or getting tacos at our now favorite Mexican restaurant.
Edit: mobile bumping spacing weirdness
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: temping and pnv right now. Checking cm, cp, opk, preseed, HIO, etc when the time comes.
R/R: so, even though I hate that it's CD1, I think my FW will line up nicely with our vacation starting next weekend and the following week. I can't be the only one who thinks that vacation sex is so much better than at home sex, right? RIGHT?
CS/Q: nothing today.
GTKY: (sorry if this is a repeat to anything recent, inn picking up my activity back on this side) what was your first date with SO?

R/R: I went out last night to Main Event, an arcade with bowling and laser tag, with friends for a birthday event. It was a lot of fun. The birthday girl came over and talked to us a little, and she asked if we are having any babies. I immediately started to cry and ran away. My husband suggested we go home, and when we got to the car, I texted her to apologize and explain that I was emotional because we had a loss last week. She's been through a loss herself and was very supportive and sweet. I can't wait until I don't break down everytime something is said to me. Someday, I'd like to be strong enough to use my voice to talk about it, and not just rely on text.
CS/Q: None for now.
GTKY: (sorry if this is a repeat to anything recent, inn picking up my activity back on this side) what was your first date with SO? I don't really know. We didn't start out dating like that. We met at a Halloween party. He lived in another town, and the second time we saw each other, I went to his town with two friends. We hung out with him and the other friends in the area. The first several times we hung out were with a group, and we weren't together yet. I don't honestly remember our first actual date.

R/R: I got a blazing positive OPK today. Trigger shot last night wasn't too bad. My mom thankfully gave it to me cuz I would not have had the cojones to do it. Our IUI is 10 am tomorrow and we have awesome timing besides that so we have done everything we can this cycle.
CS/Q: None today.

Wow, that family is a real piece of work.
I started vitex this cycle after reading this study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17211965. This may also be relevant to you given your PCOS: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25524718
I talked to my doctor about it, and she said that things like vitex can be taken without a doctor's supervision IF you are confident keeping track of your fertility yourself (CM and cycle length, for instance) so you go to a doctor if you have any weird side effects -- in other words, if something does go south, you want to notice it. She said things like estrogen and progesterone should not be taken without a doctor's supervision.
Before you add any supplements, I recommend checking out the NIH's clearinghouse for complementary medicine: https://nccih.nih.gov/ It will help you understand the evidence base (if any) and interactions to watch for. Some supplements can interact with other medicines you take (for instance, NIH notes that vitex should not be taken with some psychiatric medications). I take thyroid medication and I avoid anything that has even a remote possibility of interacting with my thyroid.
Although I have endometriosis, not PCOS, I did a ton of research on this topic so I'm happy to chat more if you have questions.

We were friends in college first and then when we started dating we were too poor to actually go out so I think our first date was at Outback with his parents paying (my first time meeting them lol). I'm not sure if they know they paid for our first date ha!

CS/Q: Nope.
GTKY: (sorry if this is a repeat to anything recent, inn picking up my activity back on this side) what was your first date with SO? He tricked me into our first date, though I probably should have seen through it. I told him I was going with my mom to see the last Harry Potter movie, and he said he wanted to go for drinks after because he "wanted my thoughts on how they did the ending." I saw it super late in theaters because crowded theaters make me anxious. So I sat there and thought, "Awesome, someone just wants to talk Harry Potter with me, I'm in for that!" I showed up to what ended up being our first date in a (very tasteful) Hogwarts shirt. Our five-year anniversary of our first date (and our wedding anniversary) is tomorrow... crap, I need to get him a card!
then 3 failed IUIs, and finally a successful IVF FET.
Due with #2 5/2/19 after HIO once in my FW,

GTKY: (sorry if this is a repeat to anything recent, inn picking up my activity back on this side) what was your first date with SO?
My DH and I always disagree on which date is our first official first date. Back when we were first talking, we made a bet on who would win the world series, Yankees or Diamondbacks. Yankees unfortunately lost, so I had to take him out to dinner. I really thought it was just a ploy to get me out, but when the check came, he didn't grab it! I almost didn't even bring any cash! To this day I still rag him about it, to which he replies...it was a bet!

R/R: Had an awesome night hanging out with some friends and DH, something that I wish would happen more often. Now I'm lounging in bed trying to convince myself the weather is too pitiful to mow the yard, even though it is one of the only dry-ish days in the otherwise torrential downpour that has been the last two weeks. Ugh.

GTKY: (sorry if this is a repeat to anything recent, inn picking up my activity back on this side) what was your first date with SO?
We met at work and were best friends for a year and there are a lot of times we went out that it could have counted as a date, but we tend to stick with riding our motorcycles and dinner at Applebee's.

R/R: Last night a girlfriend and I went to go see Rascal Flatts in concert. We made it through both opening acts and only saw 20 minutes of Rascal Flatts because there was an awe inspiring lightening storm surrounding us at the amphitheater (a bolt of lightening struck just outside the theater lawn) and the whole place was evacuated and the remainder of the show was cancelled. Such a bummer. I love summer concerts, but don't love running for our lives in a crowd of drunken college kids in a thunderstorm. Nor did I like the dumb drunk kid who screaming vote for Donald Trump during the 20 minutes of the actual show. I wanted to punch him in the face. I am at a concert, not a political rally. Please shut your trap. Seriously. And don't start talking to me about the middle class and proudly declare you are a high school graduate.. people can be so obnoxious some times.
CS/Q: Nope nothing, just waiting for the FW.
GTKY: (sorry if this is a repeat to anything recent, inn picking up my activity back on this side) what was your first date with SO? My DH was actually best friends with my ex at the time. When things fell apart with the ex, my gf said well what are you going to miss about your relationship (we had been together for 5 years) i said well, DH. She set us up on a few get togethers at her place. There were supposed to be a group of friends coming and well really the only ones she invited were DH and I. We finally got the hint, and set up a real date. We went hiking and out to lunch.

@adirat They're good people, it's just an annoying thing that happens once a year. Thanks for the links and the info. I had read that it was okay to take because it doesn't have hormones or anything in it. I think I'm going to start it soon. Thanks, again!

Like most of you, we were friends first, so I consider our first date to be when we went to see A Dangerous Method together as friends, but we both liked each other. At the time, I remember we kept going for the popcorn at the same time and I kept getting embarrassed that our hands were touching. DH told me later he was watching for when I went to get popcorn so our hands would touch lol

@shstephenson DH did the same thing. He had a gf when we were friends and she was super conservative and wasn't giving him any. He left her instead of trying to pressure her (plus just plain old not really meant for each other). Two days after they broke up is what we call our dating anniversary (and our wedding since we got married on New Years too). Pretty sure that first day I gave him a BJ but I think I made him wait a whole 2 weeks for sex lol
@tripledaggerWed95976 That is the cutest meetup ever!
@Redpuma119 I hate people like that, who selectively do gift giving. My ILs actually send me more stuff than my parents. Since we've been in Korea my mom sent one package and my MIL sends a package every other month basically.

R/R: We've been BD'ing pretty well since CD 12. Also, FW should be over before his work schedule goes to hell which is nice. That's something I was worried about.
My dog has peed in our room a few times this past week which is strange for her but I think she needed her indoor potty cleaned. She's definitely a princess lol.
CS/Q: not really
GTKY: (sorry if this is a repeat to anything recent, inn picking up my activity back on this side) what was your first date with SO?
DH and I were friends before we started dating. We started texting and snapchatting in a more than friendly way but he had a gf. I was super thirsty though and totally made the first move. He wanted to breakup with her but already had Christmas plans with her and her family so he waited until like 2 days after. I will never understand that logic. I think he didn't want them to plan for him to be part of their festivities and then have a breakup right before Christmas...idk. Anyway, New Years Eve we went to a party and we almost kissed at the ball drop but I chickened out because none of our friends knew we were into each other. We kissed when we were leaving though. I went to his house later on New Years Day and we hung out and I gave him a casual BJ (I was totally thirsty and his ex was super conservative Christian lol). Our first date was actually me driving to Outback to have dinner with him after he got out of work at like 9pm but I had already ate because I get hangry and eat on a schedule so I awkwardly watched him eat. Then we got coffee together and were out until 1am. It was sweet. We got married a year later on our one year anniversary right before he was stationed in Korea.
