Trying to Get Pregnant

Is this real life?

Soooo I mentioned on the IF check-in that I was going to wait til tomorrow to test but...I tested today. And got my very first BFP at 12DPO, 14 months in!!! I got a positive on a Wondfo and was convinced it was false and then I got a second Wondfo positive and tested with a FRER and it was positive! I immediately started crying and saying "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I never cry about anything so I shocked even myself.

What we did: Nothing different. I haven't temped in a couple months (so I'm just guessing at 12dpo) because I was terrible at it and always forgot to do it so my charts were ugly. I've been taking my Metformin and DH's 2nd SA was improved this cycle. We hit O-2, O-1, and O (once again, just guessing).

Symptoms: I think I might've had implantation bleeding? I had some very light pink spotting on Friday (9dpo) and thought I was starting early. Also had sore boobs but I have that symptom every month. I've had a lot of very AF-like cramping the past 3 days so I'm super nervous about that but I'm trying to just live in the moment and enjoy it. :)

How I told DH: DH works about 2 minutes from our house so I jumped in the car and went to his work. There were people in his office so I had to wait a little bit to talk to him. I walked in and was like "Hey, I got you something at the store." and handed him the book "Dude, You're Going to Be a Dad" and he looked at it and looked at me and was like "Really?!" and jumped up and hugged me. We're going out to dinner with his boss tonight so it'll be hard to keep it to ourselves. Especially since his boss and his wife are expecting so I'm sure there will be baby talk.

Mushy stuff: I have learned so much here and gotten a lot of support. If it wasn't for this board, I would still be using a generic app to track periods and thinking I ovulated on day 14 every month. Thank you for the information, the entertainment, and the support. I'd also like to give a shout out to 3T because I haven't been there long and don't feel right posting a BFP over there. Those girls are awesome as well and always willing to give support and advice. I have my FX for every single one of the women in TTGP and 3T.

Random question for those who take Metformin: Do I need to keep taking my Metformin?

    edit: for a moment I thought that the subject line "is this real life" was someone attempting to start a bohemian rhapsody sing-a-long in the comments. As epic as that would be... this is much better :-)
