I got my BFP :D

I seriously was expecting to be out this month. My temps never went past their normal threshold. In fact, they actually went down (but still above my coverline). At 12dpo, they are just now going back up!
Here is my cycle breakdown:
I originally thought I had ovulated on CD26 since I had 2 +opks on CD24 and CD25. The test line was as dark as the control. They didn't get any darker than that. My temps went up like I did ovulate. I had 3 days of high temps. Then on the 4th day, my temps just plummeted. FF removed my crosshairs in FAM settings but kept my O date in Advanced settings. My temps went back up on the 5th day but I didn't want to take the chance of missing a potential window so I started testing with opks again. Sure enough, CD33 and CD34 I got another set of +opks. The opk on CD34 went way darker than the previous day. DH and I BD on CD31, 32, skipped 33 (timing was not lining up for us that day), then again on CD34 and 35. My temp went up on CD35 but back down again on CD36 so we covered CD37 just in case. I got my crosshairs on CD37.
DPO breakdown:
1-4: My boobs were a little tender but I chalked that up to my 14 month old upping his day nursings a little bit. I had some backache.
5: I was majorly cramping. Everything was concentrated on my left side. I was also super gassy that day so I thought that all my gas was just trapped on that side.
6-9: Suuuuuuuuper tired. So tired, I was falling asleep with my 14 month old when I put him down to bed. That has always been my #1 pregnancy red flag.
9: I started cramping again and this time I started spotting the morning of. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. I was pissed because I thought AF was coming a day early making my LP a mere 8 or 9 days (last cycle I started spotting the day before AF showed up). I put a tampon in and went about my day. Later that day, I went to change tampons and there was only like two brown spots and the rest was creamy CM. I'm thinking "Ooookay..." I took another pregnancy before I took a bath that night. I left the test on the sink while I did my thing. When I got out, I glanced over and saw a faint line! I called DH over and he saw it too! I didn't want to call it yet though.
10: I took my temp this morning and it plummeted down. I was hoping that it was because we slept with the window open and I had been freezing. But I wasn't really so optimistic since my temps had been sloping downwards the past few days. I used another pregnancy test with FMU and when I wiped, I had some more very light spotting. So I'm thinking "Shit. I'm having a chemical with my short ass luteal phase." I go clean the kitchen and come back and there's another faint line! I dipped the last wondfo I had. Another faint line! I made DH go to the store and get a FRER. I pulled the world's faintest line on the FRER!
This was my 3rd cycle. I was really expecting this one to take awhile since I'm still breastfeeding my 14 month old and my cycles were so damn long. The only things I did differently this time around was take my prenatals, iron pills, and drinking orange juice with calcium and vitamin D with my iron pills.
The pregnancy tests I used are the Surepredict from Amazon. If you get them, just be aware that they take FOREVER to dry. If you check them at the 10-15 minute mark, they will probably still have pink dye on them. It took mine the full 30 minutes to dry but when they did dry, they were stark white. If you check them at the 10-15 mark and have a BFP, you will still be able to see the line.
My EDD is October 30. I am super excited since Halloween is my favorite holiday and this baby will definitely be our last!
