FRER says yes + photo update

Phew, it's been a rough 24 hours for me. I have a tiny bit of reddish/pink spotting, and my boobs have lost all soreness, so I was getting scared. So I went to Target and bought a 3 pack of FRER. I got a very light pink line, and it was beautiful! I have only seen a light line on these tests when I was pg, so I am feeling better about things.

This is crazy stressful. I was planning out our FET already. I don't know how this will turn out, but for today, I am happy!

Update: here's a (huge) picture. 7dp5dt, about 6 pm last night. This morning's test at 10 am was darker.

Update, again: I hate this tiny bit of pink spotting I am getting on the tp. Unless it's just the embryo/s digging in further, in which case I love it. Back and forth, back and forth...
