This being my 3rd cycle, I wasn't feeling optimistic

This being my 3rd cycle, I wasn't feeling optimistic. I promised myself not to get POAS happy and to hold out until the 4th of July to test (10dpo) as I had plans to visit six flags and celebrate. Well I couldn't hold out and ended up testing at 8 and 9 dpo only to be disappointed and discouraged like previous cycles. Waking up on the 4th though, I recalled very bib baby dreams. Something told me that morning would be different and low and behold BFP! I'm now 5 weeks along and feel so excited!
