...and then I face planted. BFP.

My legs are shaking, y'all.
Cycle/Month: 4 (I think!)
What we did: Um... nothing. We had sex. This was the weirdest cycle ever. We've been NTNP for the last two, but FF predicted my FW would be the first week I was in England. So we HIO the week before, just because, but that was it. I actually took a test in England last Thursday and it came back negative, so I have no idea how many DPO I am.
Testing: So I was Christmas shopping yesterday and saw the FRER deal at Target. I picked up a box, but convinced myself to wait. Yesterday was CD 34 and my cycles range from 31-38 days, so I was worried it might still be too early. I came home, waited a few hours and, randomly, decided to pee on one. I remember saying "This is going to be negative, but at least I have two more! I'm not really wasting one!" And then immediately, I had two pink lines. I started whispering "fuck, fuck, fuck", because I AM A LADY. Then, I ran for my phone to call my mom, who is still in England, and my fuzzy socks met the hardwood floor which made my face also meet it because I am a GRACEFUL lady.
Symptoms: The thing that made me want to test was the fuzzy head I've had since I got home last Friday night. I convinced myself it was from plane pressure/jet lag, but it would not let up. It feels like a sinus infection without the pressure. Just sort of light and fuzzy. I've also been super exhausted and my boobs are GINORMOUS.
How I told DH: He told me he wanted to be surprised, so when I got the BFP, I immediately went and bought a three pack of yellow/gray onesies. I put them in a bag and also bought a birthday card. His birthday was in September, but the groupon I bought him had to be refunded because the company closed. So I told him I got him a new gift. He read the card and on the inside it said "You and C & T are the lights of my life, but you'll have to share that love when your real present arrives in July." Then, he smiled, opened the gift and I had tucked the HPT in there, too. Oh his face. Apparently he just "knew it". He said, "We've had sex like... eighteen times." I said, "That doesn't mean anything if you're not doing it during my FW." "Psh, my sperm doesn't NEED to be on your FW." MEN.
EDD: Since I have no idea when I o'd, I'm going by my LMP which will bring us a baby on July 24th! AND, may I remind you all, that is the day Harry Potter received his letter from Hogwarts. Our seven year old is going to FLIP. OUT.
Mushiness: Omg, I'm going to miss you guys SO. MUCH. I'll be checking in and rooting for all of you. I know we tell everyone that this isn't a "support group", but it has been for me. When I've had no one else to obsess with, I turn to you ladies. I'm so proud to have been part of this community and I hope I've added a FRACTION of what it's given me. xoxoxo
