ZERO hope for positive this month, and BAM.

Deborah
So, after almost 2 years of "not preventing, but not actively trying", we have a BFP. The past 12 months I have been monitoring bbt infrequently, but always making sure we BD during ovulation time, so giving some effort, but not obsessing over it because I really dislike disappointment. 
So this cycle, my PMS symptoms began 8 days before my cycle was supposed to start. My personal symptoms are always sore breasts, mild-moderate cramping, and frequent bowel movements, but usually 4-5 days before cycle begins. So this time, I was ultra bummed, I mean they started 8 days before.... All hope for BFP gone.
Late 1 day and didn't think much of it, because of my symptoms I KNEW Aunt Flo was on her way. Late 2 days, and again,  I thought it was a fluke. Day 3 late, which was yesterday and I tell my husband, ok so no period and it should've been here 3 days ago. Today, was day 4 late, and I decided to test. In my mind though I thought it was going to be a HUGE disappointment, because symptoms, hello... Why else would I have PMS symptoms? Obviously Aunt Flo is on her way. I ran to Walgreens this morning and got a pack of Clear Blue Digital and, what do you know, not even 3 minutes later we have a "pregnant". Woke my husband up waving the thing in his face and he's like what's this, are you sick? (Thought it was a thermometer haha.)
I say all this because I was under the impression that my symptoms were solely PMS and nothing more. Hope this can give hope to some of you ladies!
