I've been through every phase of the infertility battle but it has been some time since I was in this position, so I could use a refresher.
I keep a general chart for my gyno but I don't temp and I don't test out ovulation, so I know that my period is late but no idea DPO.
So questions, before I go into all of the symptoms and what I'm feeling because all that I'm doing is feeling these days.
I took an FRER and I saw a faint pink line. It was way too early to get anything and I tried to take tons of pics but you couldn't see the line in the pics. So what do you guys use to take the pics? Is there a trick to this art? What do you use to tweak the photos? And the part that really throws me is that I typically test negative on FRER and positive on CB until about the day I'm due. This was the opposite. So I put the test aside and when it dried, it as very obviously pink. Since I've never really had a squinter on FRER, I don't know if that's normal. Do the negatives typically dry pink? The CB was even more faint and it dried very obviously negative.
Now we get to today. I have had negatives for the last couple of days (early loss is common for me, the FRER could have been a fluke) but no AF. So I'm digging around in there yesterday to see what's up with my cervix and I had dark brown CM. Okay, AF is just running a little late. Then this morning, still a tad of the dark brown but tons of EWCM. Uhhhh. I've had a little spotting that's the dark brown and reminds me of losing your mucus plug. So I bought a ton of the $.88 tests and I'm getting squinty lines. My uterine lining is not always thick/consistent and my daughter detached multiple times throughout my pregnancy, so it's slightly possible but I'm not trusting this.
I know that I see lines no matter what. Can someone please tell me how to get a decent pic to some better eyes? I have health problems and if I am pregnant I need to get to the doctor tomorrow. If I don't get AF, I may have to just get a beta. Yikes.
