Is this real life??? (BFP)

I think I might still be dreaming. After 2 1/2 years, this bitch is KTFU!!!! Wow, it's hard to even type that. EDD is 5/9/14.
The deets: We did a fresh IVF cycle in December that ended in a chemical pregnancy, but we had 2 frozen embryos at the end. I had a cancelled cycle in March when my lining didn't cooperate. My protocol for this cycle was 4 months long and included fun things like Viagra suppositories going into my vag 4X per day, Terbulatine (omg the side effects!), and 3X the amount of Estrogen than we tried last time. Today is 5dp5dt (10DPO) of one, beautiful, already hatching blast. The picture on the left is the blast hatching after it was thawed. The picture on the right is my ute and you can see the little flash of white on my lining there in the middle. That's the blast being transferred. Isn't science amazing???:
How I told DH: He is refusing to look at the pee sticks or discuss the pee sticks. He's been having a hard time with IF lately and is terrified of reliving the loss from December. I don't think he's going to believe it for awhile. Maybe he'll feel better once I do a digi and/or get good betas.
Symptoms: I was super super super gassy the day after transfer (so 6 DPO). I've had some light cramping, but it's different from AF cramping. More like aching ovaries, but my ovaries didn't do any work this cycle so I'm not sure what that's about. My bewbies have hurt a little off and on, but nothing terrible or consistent. I've had a few random sharp shooting pains in my vagina. I also feel like I've been peeing more than usual. Is it weird that I'm actually hoping symptoms pick up a little soon?
The Pee Stick: I know it is super, super, early, but I POAS yesterday (9 DPO). There was a "something" there, but not definitive. Today, there are definitely 2 lines on FRER and Wondfo. Of course I will be testing daily. My betas are not until 8/30 and 9/3, and they do not call until after the 2nd. RAWR!

The Mushy Stuff: This board. Wow. The friendships I have made here will last a lifetime. The support that I have received here has been incredible. I can't possibly list out everyone who has touched my life in the last 2 1/2 years. You know who you are and you are all amazing.
Holy shitballs. Today, I am pregnant.
