GTKY: A boyfriend I had in high school took me to see Titanic in theatres and then he cried through the whole thing. After the movie, he gave me a ring shaped like a dolphin. I made a friend break up with him via email later that night.

Cycle/Month: 3/3
CD: 24
What are you doing to GKU: Temping, OPKs until I get home
R/R/CS: SO happy I've made it to day 3 of my work trip without signs of O in sight. Thought for sure timing would be out, but maybe not
GTKY: What’s the strangest date you’ve ever been on? In high school a guy I had a crush on asked me to go to the movies. I went to the bathroom and he said he'd grab the tickets. I quickly realized he hadn't paid for tickets and "snuck" us both in. It was so lame and pathetic. Really?!
What are you doing to GKU: sex, BBT, OPKs in a few days
R/R/CS: Nothing really.
GTKY: What’s the strangest date you’ve ever been on? I don't really know... I don't have any super strange ones. Mostly just awkward ones, like MH inviting his little sister on one of our dates. He never repeated that mistake.
What are you doing to GKU: BBT, PNV, staying hydrated, sex
R/R/CS: I gave in and bought OPKs for this cycle. I just don't know when to start them. I *usually* O around CD25 or later (gah). Should I start around CD20?
GTKY: What’s the strangest date you’ve ever been on?
HA! Actually this just happened a few weeks ago. DH and I went out to dinner with his former academic adviser from college and her husband. They are awesome people and super fun. The restaurant we went to was at the trendy mall in town, so after we ate we browsed some shops with them. After a couple stores, they said they were going to head back to their car, so we said goodbye and headed over to Victoria's Secret since I had a free panty coupon. She saw us head that way and said, "oh wait! I have a coupon, too!" So there we were, picking out underwear together while DH and her husband stood there awkwardly. It was hilarious and awkward. Especially when her husband made a comment about how she always picked the undies with "all the fabric! sigh". Oh my.
R/R/CS: Temp dip this morning and a positive opk. O today or tomorrow I think.
GTKY: What’s the strangest date you’ve ever been on? In college this guy took me out to a scary movie for a date. He kept acting like he was really scared just so he could hold my hand. I was like, mmmkkay this is not doing anything for me.
Cycle/Month: 3/3 CD: 4 What are you doing to GKU: I'm hoping this is the last day of my period then we will resume sexual relations R/R/CS: I found out last night that our family may have to postpone our beach trip for 3 weeks due to my dad's work crisis. So that's disappointing as I was very much ready to go next week but I can wait GTKY: What’s the strangest date you’ve ever been on? Let's see... the date itself wasn't so bad (we went to a wrestling match) but the leading up to it was. This is when I was 17 or 18 and he was 20 I think. The guy felt he should come meet my parents the night before our date. So we are sitting in the living room chatting and TV is on in background and a commercial for some STD medication comes on. He commented that his ex-gf had to use that medicine and that he "told her to keep her legs closed." Quite embarrassing! But my parents still allowed me to go out with the guy.

Cycle/Month: Cycle 8 (6 AL)
CD: 13
What are you doing to GKU: PNV, BBT, CM, OPK, green tea, clean eating, starting EOD sex tonight
R/R/CS: Pretty sure the reason I was able to add 2 days to my LP was quitting sugar. I've been trying to keep up with it, but have been cheating a lot on that. Really need to buckle down.
GTKY: What’s the strangest date you’ve ever been on? A high school boyfriend took me to his church. My first and last time going to a Mormon church.
lavinia I don't think my parents would have approved..haha
Cycle/Month: 7 total cycles/ 4 AL
CD: 17
What are you doing to GKU? BBT, EOD(more like every 3rd day right now), CM, PNVs
R/R/CS: My temp was a little high this morning but I think it's a fluke. I guess we'll see. MH turned me down for sex last night so it would kind of stink if I Od this early and missed o day. But I doubt I did anyway since I haven't Od before CD 25 since my loss.
GTKY: I've never really been on a strange date. My first date with MH was to go see the movie Zombieland. He picked it and I thought that was strange, but I soon learned that's just H. And I love him for all of his strangeness.
R/R/CS: positive OPK this am, shocked I might be ovulating this early!
GTKY: What’s the strangest date you’ve ever been on? Hmm...My DH and I are high school sweethearts and he's the only person I've dated, so don't know if I can think of anything!
GTKY: In HS, before I could drive, I went on a date with a guy to the mall. We ended up going to Macy's and hanging out in the bedding section just siting on the beds and talking. It was a lame date, but I was young.

Cycle/Month: 3/3
CD: 5
What are you doing to GKU: BBT, OPKs, all the sex
R/R/CS: This cycle is already a little odd and I'm only 5 days in to it. My period was very light and short with only a few hours of cramps and my temps the past 2 days (I start temping on CD4) have been higher than they were at this time last month. Hopefully this isn't setting up to be a wonky cycle!
GTKY: What’s the strangest date you’ve ever been on? In college I went on a date with a guy to a wine bar. He was "older" and in law school and apparently fancied himself to be quite the sophisticated chap. He spent the whole date educating lecturing me on the different types of wines and how to truly appreciate wines. I had just turned 21 and my favorite drink was anything cheap (or free) that would give me a buzz. I did not care about where they came from.

Good morning ladies!!
Thanks for starting mill23. I love that commercial!! HUMP DAAAAAAAY!! watermelonseed FX O holds out for you so you can get some good timing. pbandj714 if you've never used OPKs I'd start a bit earlier just to see what your body is doing and then narrow it down. If you usually O on cd25, I'd start on cd15 and do it once a day and then jump to twice a day around cd20. Then once you get a clear picture of when/if you get positives you could narrow it down to cd20.
Cycle: 14 CD: 6 WAYDTGKU: meant to resume bbt this morning. Oops!! Pnvs b6 bcomplex green tea for now. OPKs to start around cd12-14 RRCS: shark week has ended. Yaaaay!! This one wasn't as bad as previous ones so I was pretty happy about that. GTKY: in college I was in a sorority and we had a date night and we went to a Halloween themed amusement park. It was my freshman year so I didn't really know many guys. My friend set me up with one of her friends who was on the baseball team. He was very nice. We met before hand and things were great. Then the night of the date night he would barely look at me and wouldn't hold my hand or anything. It was scary so I kept trying to grab for him and it was just very awkward. My friend and I ended up switching dates bc she knew this guy. Turns out he had a girlfriend but felt bad canceling last minute lol
What are you doing to GKU: BBT. I should probably start some OPKs...
R/R/CS: FF gave me dotted crosshairs... on CD 8. AF left CD 5. I'm gonna say no, FF. No. I'll continue to hang out here in WTO if that's cool.
GTKY: What’s the strangest date you’ve ever been on? I can't think of anything too strange. I was an internet dating fool for about 6 months. I would often schedule 2 dates a day. So I guess I just endured A LOT of awkwardness.
ETA: hydrangea1019, reminded me of a pretty bad/strange "date" ( I will use the term date loosely). Freshman year, my sorority sister set me up for a fraternity camping trip. I was pretty much ignored the entire time until another sister showed. We ended up setting up my HUGE 3 room tent on the hill away from everyone else and hung out together. The next morning I found out that my "date" had passed out in his car and puked all over. So I begged a ride home with the first person out of there and never even saw that dud again!
GTKY: What’s the strangest date you’ve ever been on? This guy who kept talking about anal sex. On the first (and only) date. And that he "needed" to do anal because he was a biker and his dick was so numbed by the motorcycle vibrations only anal would do to get him off.

OMG who says that to someone on a first date?!?!? lol I honestly think I would've walked out and left him by himself. Yikes!!

What are you doing to GKU: bbt, trying to remember opks and attempting EOD
R/R/CS: I hope I O this week.
GTKY: I wouldn't say strange, but crazy! The guy I was dating took us out on a wailer boat on the lake for a lunch date. We cruised out about 2 hours and when we anchored to eat, I looked back from where we came and saw the blackest clouds ever. I was terrified! This storm was so intense and the only way back to shore was towards the storm. He kept yelling at me to stay with the boat no matter what and the sky and water were swirling all around us. Knowing we wouldn't make it much further, he turned toward this little island and tried to dock the boat, this older lady came running out of her house and gave him more rope to tie it up with. We ended up hanging out in her sunroom having tea until the storm passed. He never even checked the weather before we headed out!

Cycle/Month: 11/12

What are you doing to GKU: Just waiting for EWCM, OPKS in a few days, acupuncture twice a week and a shelf full of supplements.
R/R/CS: The Candida Diet blows.
GTKY: What’s the strangest date you’ve ever been on? I went on a match.com date with a guy in the military. He basically spent the first 10 minutes of the date explaining how "enlisteds" were the "lesser" beings on base and he continued to brag about his desk job. When I brought up that I volunteer with a pit bull rescue, he proceeded to tell me how he thinks they are terrible dogs. It was about 15 minutes in at that point and I basically told him I needed to go help a friend with her math homework. I wasn't quite bold enough yet to tell him to fuck off.

Your date sounds EXACTLY like one of my most vivid childhood memories. I was with my grandparents on a pontoon boat. Horrible storm rolled in. They tied up a tarp to keep me 'dry'. Tarp came untied and started whipping me (literally) with the rope. Finally made it to shore at someone's house and hung out until it passed. Got back to the campsite and their friends told us the area was under a tornado warning. It was awful!

What are you doing to gku: bbt, opk, rubbing my belly for good luck lol
R/R/CS: Nada, just waiting!
GTKY: What’s the strangest date you’ve ever been on? lOL this is a good gtky! I went out with a guy who was very obviously obsessed with Harry Potter, he even had the round glasses. He spent the whole date asking me what my fav spells were, and which character I would wanna have dinner with...the straw that broke the camels back was him asking if I'd ever dress up as Hermione for sexy times. Lol
Great GTKY question, mill23! These stories are hilarious. amparo1981 - I think you might win for the most awkward first date...
Cycle/Month: 12/11
CD: 14
What are you doing to GKU: BBT, CM, OPK, EODish
R/R/CS: Pretty sure today is O day. VERY positive OPK yesterday and just barely positive OPK today. Hopefully my temp will be up tomorrow morning.
GTKY: What’s the strangest date you’ve ever been on? I can't really think of one particular date but there was a strange guy that I sort of dated in high school. We were never officially a couple but we went to junior prom together and then went out a couple times the summer after that. I thought things were going well between us, and he asked me to go see a movie with him one afternoon. I mentioned the upcoming movie date to one of my friends, who then told me that this same guy had also been spending a lot of time with her recently and had asked her separately to the same movie... huh? Like he wanted to go on a date with both of us at the same time, but didn't want to tell us that the other girl would also be there at the same movie...?! So we separately canceled our "dates" with him and both stopped hanging out with him after that.

It has been a long time since I have participated in these threads, but the time has come. Previously I've been hanging out in WTDS and most recently in TTT/IVF.
Cycle/Month: Since I don't ovulate on my own I'm going to count this as Cycle 1, but this is month 10 off of birth control.
CD: CD8
What are you doing to GKU: Clomid (properly monitored by an RE), temping and considering OPK.
R/R/CS: This is my first medicated cycle (Clomid with TI) and last night was my last dose of Clomid. I've not had any side effects and I'm bouncing between "this is awesome" and "this isn't working". Up until this point I've not wanted to mess with OPK due to PCOS but I think I'm going to take the plunge and give it a shot. I want to try to make sure I don't ovulate before my monitoring appointment as I don't want a litter of babies.
GTKY: What’s the strangest date you’ve ever been on? Blind date (online dating site) at a TGIF. He wanted to meet at 6:00 and then seemed surprised that I wanted dinner. He hemmed and hawed for about 5 minutes over the bill before I finally offered to split the check. It was really awkward and there was no second date. lol

Omg that's crazy! And yes, it was terrifying. If he didn't dock on that island we would've died I think.

Lurking, but when is your monitoring appointment? My RE requires the monitoring to be as early as CD12, so they don't miss you ovulating. You're free to use OPKs, but I wouldn't worry about litters of babies.
