Trying to Get Pregnant

Holy Crap... I got a BFP!!

I am so excited I cannot stop shaking!!!! 

What We Did: This was our second cycle trying. I drank tons and tons of water, temped/charted and tried using OPK's.  I was not very consist with my OPK use so I found them pretty pointless and more frustrating than helpful.  We hit -4, -3, -2, and -1.  We missed my ovulation date, because even though I know I was going to ovulate we were both way to tried to get it on.  

Symptoms & Testing: None, none at all. I actually did not feel very good about this cycle at all and was 100% prepared to move onto the next cycle.  I had zero intentions of testing until tomorrow or Monday but I decided this afternoon would be a great day for some Mint Juleps, and so before showering around 10:30 I decided I better POAS to make myself feel better that I wasn't pregnant.  All I had in my drawer was a dollar store test and within 1 minute the line below showed up. I literally started shaking and took my shower while jumping around and yelling.  I really felt the need to test again with a FREP test so when I was done showering and ready I went right to Meijer, came home and took a FREP. Within 3 minutes the line showed up and it isn't a faint one either for being 9 DPO.

Second FREP test:

EDD: According to FF my estimated DD is May 22, 2014. 

How I am Telling DH: He is still at work till noon, so I haven't told him yet.  I have a cute onesie in a bag that says, "Mommy + Daddy = Cute Baby".  I am going to give it to him when he gets home!  I know he is going to be so excited but also nervous like I am!  (This is our first!) 

Mushy Stuff: Thank you ladies so much!  I hope you don't mind me lurking around on the TTC board in the future. I am going to miss posting here and miss a lot of ladies on here. I wish you all the best of luck and I really hope you get your BFP soon!!!

    @GoaliesWife123 - You are right! It was the longest cycle I had ever had.  I was tracking all my symptoms and it was a horrible mental month.  This month I decided to track none of the symptoms and that was so much better mentally for me.
