More of my FSH and AMH worrying

so i took the two first response fertility tests that are supposed to measure fsh levels and i am a little nervous.

when i took the first test month before last it came up with no line at all which indicates a negative. this made me very happy but i was also not quite sure that i had timed it right since my bleeding had some interference from monastat that month. i took the test again at the beginning of this month and i got a faint line. the test does say that it is only cause for concern if the test line is as dark or darker than the control line BUT i felt like i couldn't necessarily trust that. after all with OPK tests LH hormone varies at different times of the day and on different days. Often times i would get a slight line right before getting my very strong positive line. this concerned me so i did some research and i found this:

now it should be noted that although the woman in the article had a blood test show high fsh and her test indicated she didn't, there is also a woman who comments at the bottom of the blog and states that she got a faint line too and her fsh was 6 which is not so high.

basically all that i can figure based on those results is that this test is pretty inconclusive.

So now my stress is that my period was a day off last month and i also seem to have ovulated a couple of days early (although my temping hasn't been so great this month and i am thinking of maybe temping vaginally in order to solve the issue.). I am hoping i can take the blood test THIS month but if my day 3 happens to fall on a weekend i am screwed and will have to last until end of november/early december.

here is a pic of my test.
