Morning Ladies!!

I'm so excited to be introducing myself on this board!!  DH and I had been trying since January and got a BFP on June 21st.  Even though we'd been trying, it was totally unexpected.  I started tracking my cycles right away since it took us about 6 months with our first (DD is 21 months).  I discovered by using ovulation test strips that I was only ovulating every other cycle. My last period was the end of April and I wasn't supposed to ovulate that next cycle, so I just took a break from the stress and didn't want to waste any test strips.  After 60 days with no period I got a little suspicious (45 days had been my longest cycle).  I took a test and saw the faintest of a line, and confirmed with a digital test the next day.  First beta was 30, 2nd was 108 two days later.  My first appt. is next Thursday and I'm so excited to be on this journey again!  No m/s yet, fingers crossed I'll be lucky like I was with DD and it won't be that bad.
