Meggo is Preggo! (intro/BFP)

I know, "preggo" is awful. But I can't help it. :-)
My home board was over on TTGP, but since I've been MIA for a while it didn't feel right to do a BFP post over there. So I'm gonna intro/BFP all in one over here!
Cycle/Month: 3
What we did: We started off the month traveling, and then I got sick, so my chart was a disaster. I stopped temping, but kept up with my OPKs. We thought we were out because my DH was going to be out of town until my usual O date, but according to my OPKs I ovulated a day later than usual. We hit (unconfirmed) O-1 & O. I had been taking prenatal vitamins, drinking tons of water, and this was my first cycle taking B6 to lengthen my short LP.
Symptoms: Two days before my BFP, I had the WORST cramps of my life. I was doubled over on the couch for hours. Then the next afternoon I started spotting. I figured I was out, so I made my husband take me out for sushi & wine (oops). Other than that, it was actually the LACK of usual PMS boob-soreness that stands out in retrospect.
Testing: I always spotted about 12 hours before I got my period, so I was sure I would wake up with it. When I didn't, I figured WTH and used a Wondfo, even though I was sure it was going to be negative. I took a shower, got out and went to throw the test away when I saw it...the FAINTEST line. I was completely in denial!
How I told DH: I brought the test into the bedroom to see it in better light, and there was definitely...something. My DH walked in to me standing in our bedroom, soaking wet hair dripping down my face, shaking like a leaf. He went "Omg, whats wrong?!" and I said, "um...I think I'm pregnant!" he inspected the stick and said he wanted to "do it right" and get a "real line" (I told him a line is a line, but he was unsure because it was really a squinter). I think he was in even more denial than me! So I got a FRER, took it when I got home from work, timed it exactly and BOOM. We hugged and cried. It was awesome.
Mushy Stuff: I know this isn't TTGP, but I hope those ladies know how amazing funny, awesome and supportive they are. And I'm glad to see at least a couple of them over here with me, hopefully with many more to come! I can't wait to get to know everyone here!
EDD: 8/3

You should know how great things were before you. Even so, they're better still today.
Now I can't think who I was before you ruined everything in the nicest way
