I'm FREAKING out right now. I woke up early to do some last minute cramming for a college exam and just HAD to POAS. A stupid IC. I POAS two days ago (AF was due) and saw an evap. Then I POAS this morning and there was a shadow there. Something faint. It didn't look like the evap from a couple days ago. And I just can't tell if it's a BFP or not. Even the test looks weird. The test came out streaky. If I'm 2 days late and use my last FRER after holding my urine for 3 & 1/2 hours, do you think I might get an accurate reading? That's when I have to leave for school.
UPDATE (x-posted in TTC): So I've tested a couple times over the past few days and gotten BFNs. This morning makes me 5 days late. So I woke up and took a random temperature and compared to other charts, it falls below the coverline on every one of them. That was depressing... So I went back to sleep, and --TMI ALERT-- started having really sexy dreams. I woke up and was all "ready to go," so I grabbed DH and just started things up. He pulled out to change positions, and there it was -- blood. Nothing happened when I went to pee, but with the low temp and seeing that, I know she'll be in full force later today or sometime tomorrow at the latest. I really had my hopes up yesterday, being FOUR DAYS late... Guess this just isn't our month.

If you're sure you ovulated the day you think you did, then you should definitely have an accurate result on a FRER no matter if it's FMU or not. Without charting or anything, is it possible that you O'd later than you think? I have to say, though, if the control line is looking weird on the IC, I am not sure I'd trust any other lines that may be there.
That being said, I think you should POAS (FRER) and hopefully we'll see 2 beautiful lines from you! Good luck!

Our TTC journey: 6 cycles Clomid, lap surgery/ D&C, IUI, 2 x IVF; 33 cycles- BFN.
IVF#1 (March 2010) Transferred two 8-cell grade A (perfect) embies- BFN and heartbroken.
IVF#2/FET#1 (Jan/Feb 2011):Transferred two (7&8 cell) grade A (PERFECT) embies- BFN again.
March 2011- February 2012: On BCP due to endometriosis.
March 2012- taking a few months off of BCP and we are TTC naturally.
We will re-evaluate another IVF w/FET try in 2013.
I have no idea when I ovulated this month. I usually O CD 18 or 19. I SUCKED at charting this month. Didn't chart the first half because of vacation, then charted for a week, then stopped charting because I just wanted to take the rest of the month off too.
The control line doesn't look weird... The white space on the test looks weird. Like horizontal streaks.
I may have Od later than I think. I couldn't get a +OPK for anything, and I usually get two of them. That's another part of the reason I got aggravated and gave up. But I definitely see a temp drop on my chart around the time I should have Od, and EWCM, but didn't chart long enough to see the rise.

TTC on our own for over 2 years
Dx with Severe MFI- Blood work shows no Microdeletion and no CF mutations
Ultrasound scheduled 3/22- DONE! Everything looks normal, other than some cysts on my right ovary.
HSG scheduled 4/14- DONE! Tubes are clear!!
On BCP until our IVF w/ICSI scheduled for August!!!
FRER after just 3 hours of holding my urine was a BFN. I don't want to try another one again tomorrow morning, but if AF doesn't come tomorrow, I'll take one the next day. (Which would make me 4 days late.)
