Now for the full story. After staring at a faint ghost line on a wondfo all evening yesterday (yes, I am that crazy), I decided that I would pee on a FRER. I never use a FRER because I hate the thought of wasting an expensive test on a BFN. I bought them to confirm a positive on a wondfo. So I wake up at 4:00 am and have to pee, so I grab a FRER and a wondfo and pee in a cup. I dip the wondfo and watch the test develop. It looks like a BFN, but then I could see another hint of a super faint line. I felt like this can not be a real line, since it's still so faint and doesn't seem to be getting darker.
I decide to go ahead and dip the FRER just to confirm my suspicions that this cycle was a BFN. I watch the test start to develop and the control line pops up and then a faint second line pops up. And it starts to get darker. Cue the four letter words (I think the exact words that I said to myself were HOLY F*CKING SHIT, IT'S POSITIVE).
So telling the hubs... After over 2 years of TTC, 4 IUIs, and 2 IVFs; all plans for a cute announcement went out the window a long time ago. So once I came out of shock of getting a positive test, I ran across the hall and flipped on the light in our bedroom (remember this is like 4:15 in the morning) and without waiting for him to fully wake up I yell, "What are you doing July 11th?" In his state of sleepiness says, "I don't know." I reply "How about having a baby, boom!" And hand him the FRER. Romantic right. He looks at the test and agrees that he sees a second line (Not that I needed confirmation with this one. My line eye is good, but I can't imagine that good of a line.).
The one worry point is that I never really tested out my trigger, but since I am 14 days past trigger and for all my IUIs my trigger was always out by 11ish days past trigger, I am pretty positive that this is not the trigger. Plus this is a pretty decent line on a FRER.
Now the obligatory pee stick photo (The line is darker and pinker in real life):
