Can you say ‘couldn’t be happier to find out that I’m pregnant’?

Thank you. Actually, there’s one more thing. If I wanted to say: ‘I received the results today and ...’ in that case would I be saying ‘... I couldn’t be happier to find out’ or ‘I couldn’t have been happier to find out’?

You could use either, or "... I couldn't be happier to have found out ..."
