Finally, it has happended to me (BFP!)

I got a BFP this morning at 11DPO after 10 cycles! EDD is September 17^th. I wasn?t going to test until tomorrow but DH has a gallery opening of his artwork tonight and we made plans to grab a drink with some friends after. I decided this morning that I should test just in case. I PIAC and dipped a Wondfo. When I checked it there was the faintest something there but it was so not a line that I told myself I was imagining it. I spent the next half hour getting ready for work and trying to decide if it was worth using my last FRER. Right before I left for work I dipped the FRER and within 30 seconds I could see the second line! I ran around and jumped up and down but was careful not to wake DH. I wanted to have some time to enjoy the moment with him and not have to rush off to work.

Symptoms: Bloated and crampy (especially today since I know I can stop ignoring my ?phantom? symptoms!), slight headache at 8, 9, and 10DPO, and a small amount of heartburn at 9 and 10 DPO What we did: I have been taking a temp break and trying to pay less attention to every little symptom. I drank green tea CD3 to O, BD O-3, O-1, O, and O+1 (the holidays really helped us have some time together!), and was more conscious of drinking my full 8 glasses of water a day. How I plan to tell DH: I left him a note with his keys that said ?I?m excited about your show! Don?t be late, I have a present for you!? I wrapped up the baby bib I had made that says ?Cute but messy, just like daddy? (he is always covered in clay b/c of his job) and the Father?s Day card I bought in June. I also stopped by my mom?s house on the way home to swipe a poppy seed from her cabinet to glue in the card. Thank you to all of you ladies for the helpful responses, supportive community, and entertainment you provided me the past 8 months! It was fabulous to have a group of people who understand what you are going through! I hope many of you ladies will be joining me soon!! For those who believe in this kind of stuff: for fun I got one of the free readings from Cheri22 back in July. She predicted December as an important month, which did turn out to be true.
