I did a little Oct DDC stalking last night  , but think I'll wait a few days to officially "join"...I'm still trying to play it safe I suppose.
This morning's test still had a definite second line, but wasn't any darker than yesterdays like I hoped it would be. I guess I shouldn't worry too much because it's only a difference of 15 hours, I'm still just 11 DPO, and I had to get up to pee about 4 hours ago so it wasn't as concentrated as it might have been.
I'm not gonna bother to post the pic because it looks the same as yesterdays, but if it looks any darker tomorrow I'll probably use a FRER and hopefully post then

Thanks
I've been feeling exhausted the past 3 days, and today is no different. I'm also feeling some very mild AF-like cramps (if I wasn't looking for them I probably wouldn't even notice), so I'm hoping that those are signs that the little bean is hanging on tight.
I went to the gym this morning and realized I was scared to work out like I normally do.... I tried to get a good workout in because in my head I know that it is perfectly safe to keep working out as long as I don't overdo it... I still held back though.
I just want to see a darker line tomorrow!!!

So this morning at 12 DPO I used another IC and then decided to try a FRER. The IC is definitely darker than yesterdays, but not by a WHOLE lot, but darker is good so I feel okay about that.
It's the FRER that has me kind of freaked out. While a second line DID show, it is very faint. I was thinking a FRER should be as dark if not darker than an IC, right? Or should I just ignore the faint line on the FRER and focus on the fact that the IC is slightly darker?
I'm turning into a crazy person again, I want to see darker lines!!
P.S. I am still living in the dark ages and don't have internet on my phone, but my phone takes clearer close-ups than my digital camera. The only way I can get pictures from my phone to the computer is to send it to an online account, which of course costs like 40 cents to send. Well I sent it this morning, but that online account isn't working, so I can't post pictures right now

IC always worked better for me than FRER. With this pregnancy, I got my first BFP on an IC at 9 DPO.
You can see my progression pics here (Positive HPTs from 9-19 DPO).
I don't have pics for every single day. I can tell you, though, that the FRER didn't change much from day to day. The progression was noticeable every other to every third day, though. If you look at my 18 DPO pic, my beta hCG was 478. And yet the test line was still only almost as dark as the control line.

Personally I never really had good luck with FRER but I just love the Answer brand. With this pregnancy I didn't take any IC, since I was out and really never thought I would get pregnant when I did. Here is what my first Answer looked like and a progression (all answer)
First Answer
Progression for second test to second to last test.
Last Test

Thank you thank you! I know I shouldn't be worrying about darkness of lines, especially when I am only 12 DPO and I still won't even be "late" for another 4 days. It is just such a scary thought knowing that we finally got what we have been praying for and it could be taken away at any time.
I'm gonna try to refrain from testing tomorrow and I might try another on Tuesday at 14 DPO. I have a digi that I am dying to use but I want to wait a while on that, too, maybe 16 DPO...
