Backlighting tests with phone flashlight 🙃

Kimberly • Tue, Aug 23

I just got out of bed at 3:30am because I had to pee, and this being 3 days before AF, I had planned to test with a FRER. I decide I might as well do it now.

So I'm laying here on the couch, not wanting to turn a light on and disturb my husband. I turn on the flashlight on my phone thinking it might be good enough.

I angle this way and that, trying not to get glare, and end up fumbling it out of my fingers. On picking it up, I catch a glimpse of a PERFECTLY READABLE BFN backlit by the blinding flash of my phone. I hold it there and can clearly see the bubble of pee on the curved display and every detail of the control line.

I'll be using this method from now on.

Stay safe. Don't blind yourselves.
