From a 102 Day Cycle to a BFP Cycle

I am by no means a regular around here so I hope this isn't an inappropriate or offensive post.  I wanted to share my BFP since I always enjoyed these post the most over the past few months. 
 
On Saturday at 10 DPO I woke up to take my temperature at 6:30am and PIAC and went back to bed.  When I woke up 3 hours later I opened up a FRER and dipped and waited.  I was actually dreading testing, because I knew it was early and because I didn't have any symptoms.  The only reason I decided to test is because I had a wedding to go to that night, and the group of friends there are drinkers.  So I wanted to know if I could join them in good conscience.  (Drink till it's pink!)  When I saw a line, not even a squinter line, I was totally surprised.  I tested again with a Wondfo and it was a little fainter, but still there.  Then I broke out a Clear Blue Digital, and got a BFN.  I was like, "what?"  Then I found out online that the Clear Blue Digital is less sensitive than the other tests, so I dumped out my cup of FMU and used third morning urine.  I thought, "Hey, 3 hours later, maybe I have more hcg now?"  Sure enough, after 3 minutes, up popped "Pregnant!" 
 
It's still really early for me, my period wasn't even due until September 23rd, so that's another reason why I was so surprised to get such an early positive.   
 
As stated earlier, I haven't really had any symptoms.  However, things have been different - different type of cramping, different type of cervical fluid, etc.  My breasts have gotten fuller, but they're not tender at all. 
 
What I did differently this cycle - after my first cycle, I was really moved to try to make the most of my fertility.  I was worried I may only have 3 or 4 chances in our first year of trying to get pregnant, so I wanted to make the most of those.  I read the Making Babies book and loosely followed the diet plans for tired and stuck types.  I went to weekly acupuncture appointments and drank disgusting Chinese herbal medicinal tea.  I was really happy to O on CD 26.  (Much better than CD 87!).  I drank green tea up until O and took bromelain pills for 5 days after O.  We BD O-3, O-2, O, O+1. 
 
I also want to reassure anyone whose husband takes propecia not to worry.  I was worried after googling it, and I know there may be other women out there still worrying.  Although it took 4.5 months, this was only our second cycle of trying, so DH didn't have any fertility issues. ;) 
 
This board helped me a ton these past few months and I want to thank everyone for all the knowledge I've gained.  I'm wishing everything the best of luck and hope you all get your BFPs soon!
