Could This Be My BFP? (PICS INSIDE)

Hi Ladies. I am a long time lurker, first time poster.

Here's my story. I was diagnosed with PCOS + IR in January 2013. My husband was diagnosed with low t/low sperm count in 2013 as well. We conceived on our first round of IUI in November 2013 and have a beautiful 18 month boy.

Now we are TTC Baby #2. IUI #1 = BFN even though I had 3 good-sized follies and my husband had 8M sperm post wash. We are currently on IUI #2. His numbers were only 1.75M, so we both were upset and discouraged, but our RE suggested we at least try. He takes Clomid daily. This round I was on Femera CD 3-7, follistem, ovidrel, and progesterone suppositories. Even though I was discouraged and just wanted to get this cycle over with (I was convinced it was a bust), I still decided to test the trigger out. It got lighter and lighter until I didn't see anything.

Yesterday, 10 DPIUI and 12DPT, I got a faint positive on an FRER and even fainter on a Wondfo in the afternoon. Today, still faint on Wondfo, but, to me, it looks a touch darker. Not by much, but a little. I would believe in it a little more, but the trigger always leaves a lingering doubt. I called my RE's office yesterday to ask if it could be the trigger, and his nurse said that it would be gone by now. I asked if I could be cautiously optimistic about the BFP, and she said yes. I'll only have betas done if I get a BFP on Friday, which will be 14DPIUI, because my RE thinks that if he does the betas earlier and the numbers are low, they won't know if it's because something is wrong with the pregnancy or just because it is early.

Just wanted to ask for an extra set of eyes to see if anyone else thinks that this could be a true BFP or residual trigger. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but it's so darn hard not to.
