I hate to be cliche, but I cannot even believe this is happening right now!
CD/DPO: 32/9
EDD: November 11, 2014
What we did: Temping, charting, PNV, 1500 mg Metformin/day, low GI diet (lost 12 lbs!), checked CM, HIO on -4 and -1
Symptoms: Nothing out of the ordinary, really! I was cramping a little but thought it was just AF.
Telling DH: I haven't told him yet! I took the test this morning after he had already left for work. I am just REALLY trying to not tell anyone (except you guys of course) before I tell DH tonight, but I am so excited I just want to burst and tell my coworkers or call someone! I am trying to think of something cute to do to tell him- maybe a card, or I might steal the idea of putting the sign on the to-be nursery that says "Under Construction until November". Anyone have any ideas?
The Mushy Stuff: Seriously, I know it is said a lot, but you guys are freaking awesome. I came to this board knowing nothing about my cycle and thinking that I would get pregnant the very first month - little did I know what a rollercoaster I had in store. I had some crazy long cycles, and because you ladies encouraged me to temp and pay attention to my body, I quickly realized I wasn't ovulating. I found out in January that I have PCOS - I probably wouldn't have found out for many more months if I hadn't been here. You ladies taught me how to ask the right questions and be my own healthcare advocate.
Even when you all told me that PCOS is not a fertility death sentence, at times I treated it like one. I was really down about it and was thinking the worst case scenario would happen to us. Then I had a beautiful temp spike this month, and ovulated for the first time since going off BCP in May. And I am just absolutely shocked that it happened. I'm still a little scared because I know the rates of miscarriage are higher with PCOS - but just trying not to think about that, because right now, I'm pregnant! Thank you all for being so sweet and snarky, all at the same time! I'll be lurking still 
And now, the pee stick:
ETA: the part about taking Metformin and eating low GI, because hands down that is what helped get me pregnant!
