R/R: Going out for breakfast this morning and I'm going to have French Toast! Then we're spending the rest of the day just hanging out at my brother's house. Last day of vacation before we head back home...
R/R: Rave: I was actually able to sleep again last night and am successfully transitioned back to daytime life!
CS/Q: Temp was lower today so maybe didn't ovulate yet. We'll see.
GTKY: Describe how you met your partner using only a gif/meme. We met on OkCupid so I searched and found this gif which I feel sums up our relationship in a lot of very interesting ways. Plus we met right after I told a friend, "I don't really want to meet anyone serious right now because it's such a hectic time in my life." So I really feel like meeting him was cupid saying, "Screw you, I do what I want." Though I'll admit that @Augusta108 's gif also applies to us.

Ok, so clearly this isn't accurate, since we're married now, but this meme made me laugh. The whovians on here will get it.
@glitzandglitter good luck! @Augusta108 enjoy your last day of vacation @fishsticks-n-custard yay for sleep! Boo for the temp drop! @zamora_spin thanks! I guess as long as I'm tracking all my signs, it should still be fairly accurate, right? Enjoy your day with YH. @darkstar42 your garden sounds great! Good luck with the liquid diet and your procedure. @paleoprincess Love your meme! My cousin met her boyfriend on Tinder and they've been together for three years now.
I just realized that "PNV" is "pre natal vitamin" not a reference to the euphemism "p in the v." Every time I've seen it I've been like, "well duh..." and now I feel silly.
@SkilledSailor I love how I met your mother, great gif! Frozen rosé sounds great, alcohol is the one redeeming quality of wto.
@mileswithmyles your school year starts early! Do you get out early, or is it a year round style schedule?
@Augusta108 The Mindy Project is fantastic! Enjoy your French toast, and your not obsessing!
@zamora_spin good luck with the opk. Your meeting story sounds very unique!
@darkstar42 4 plants count if they're alive. Tomatoes fresh from the garden are one of the best things about summer, especially if you have basil to go with them!
@mileswithmyles thanks! We were each other's first tinder date, and it stuck!
@mileswithmyles I haven't edited mine lately, which I should, but if you keep putting in the actual time, it will adjust the circles accordingly. Changing the default time just saves you the step of entering it each time ;)

So who knows. CD9 would be pretty darn early to O, but I did have a crazy-short cycle not that long ago, just 24 days in May, but there were two cycles in between there, so it's not exactly alternating either, if so... So it's just weird. Bodies are weird. Or the saline could make it <i>late</i>, too.

CS/Q:
I've gotten a positive OPK 3 days in a row, and my temp went up this morning. Is it possible to get a positive OPK and have ovulated yesterday?
Does anyone have any good strategies for managing their optimism? I'm WAY TOO invested in this cycle, and I'm anticipating that my next CD1 is going to be just brutal (emotionally).
GTKY: Describe how you met your partner using only a gif/meme. I'm not sure how to do the gif thing, but we met in undergrad, I think my first week there. We shared a major, and he was TAing the intro physics lab that I took.
@BusinessWife Would having a shorter cycle this time be ok with how everything is lined up for your IVF? Would it just mean you get to do everything sooner or would it mess up the timing?
@SkilledSailor. Yeah, *earlier (warbler??) would totally be fine, so long as I'm ready with the approvals and meds ordered! ;) so if I get a spike early I should get a little advance warning that way.
I'm just lurking this thread but I'm surprised at how many of you met YHs online! I did too but I don't think I know anyone else IRL who has. Although when people seem surprised when I tell them I always say they probably know other people who have they just don't *know* how they met!
@zamora_spin I took the dog out today and let DH sleep in. Hope you enjoyed the extra sleep!
@darkstar42 Oh that sounds tough! FX for you tomorrow and hope that it all goes well. Really nicely done on the garden. I am terrible and kill all the things lol.
@paleoprincess Hahah Love it! We are right there with you guys!
@BusinessWife Cute gif! But now I feel like I need to know the story behind it lol
@mirizzi&A Good job on getting the apartment organized. You are on a roll! Regards to optimism, its a tough one. I am new to it so know that I still have a long journey ahead of me. But I think having a group like this with ladies who are going through exactly what you are, that not only understand, but you can lean on during the tough times, will really be helpful. We are in this together in a sense, you are so not alone.

CS/Q:
GTKY: Describe how you met your partner using only a gif/meme.
@mirizzi&A I have read your LH surge happens anywhere from 12-36 hours prior to O - and then O can be 12-24 hours long. So you could get a positive OPK in the am and then O that day, see temp spike the next day. That usually is what happens to me - I get +OPK -1 pm, +OPK O am, then temp spike +1. However, last cycle I had +OPK -2 pm and also am and early afternoon -1, then O next day, temp spike +1. So that time it seemed like either I O'd longer or had a longer LH surge or both. HTH.
@darkstar42 Good luck with your procedure! I'm not sure what medical procedure you're having done, but if it's what I' thinking, the prep is the worst part!
@BusinessWife Hopefully your cycle will figure itself out soon. Bodies are weird! Also, I LOVE your gif!

R/R: Saw my dad yesterday, which is always a little weird. I don't have any ill will toward my dad, but he's 71 and sort of has the maturity/responsibility level of a teenager. He's an artist and just never wanted to grow up, and then he was diagnosed with Parkinson's at 47, and I think he panicked, and just decided to never try at all to grow up. He's an interesting person but just.... sigh. Anyway, at this point the Parkinson's isn't great, and he had brain surgery about 18 months ago to get a.... IDK, basically a brain version of a pacemaker. His symptoms are still out of control, though, because he doesn't like to be "controlled" by his medication or recharging his device. So he takes his meds at random times, etc. All this to say................................he's driving for effing Uber. Like, the man who has gotten in more car crashes than anyone I know, cannot look straight or stop shaking, is driving for Uber. Good lord.

@BusinessWife thanks! Good to know! Your GIF is adorable
@SkilledSailor Yes! It was my 10th grade winter formal. He was my friend's date. It was the first of many times we crossed paths. In 11th grade, he was the date of one of my other friends and we actually have one of the group pictures they did at high school dances with us both in it from 2001. We went to different high schools but were both in swim team and had a lot of mutual friends. We didn't start dating until I was a freshman in college. I had just broke up with my high school boyfriend and he came to visit mutual friends of ours. We hit it off and started dating a few months later.
