this mornings test. still not quite?
although it looks much closer right?
It does look closer, but just remember you shouldn't take OPKs in the morning. They aren't accurate. The best time is afternoon or evening.
What exactly does OPK stand for?
How come the CBFM tells you to use FMU if they aren't that accurate in the morning? First time I've heard that tbh.......
Here is a good explanation from another site:
"Opks are different than pregnancy tests...with pregnancy tests you simply want your most concentrated urine to make sure you can detect the hormone (hcg). When testing with OPK to predict upcoming ovulation you are testing not just for presence of LH (lutenizing hormone) but rather for its surge.
You do not want to test with FMU for 2 basic reasons:
One, LH is generaly synthesized in most women during the morning, it then takes a number of hours to make it from the bloodstream into your urine where it can be detected. If you test with FMU your surge may not have had a chance to make it to your urine yet, and by the next morning you may either miss the surge completely or only be detecting the tail end of it (meaning your +OPK would actually be a day later than it should have been, and it may be too late).
Two, we all have a small amount of LH present at all times in our cycle, for a small % of women their FMU may be concentrated enough to make an OPK be positive when the surge is actually not happening.
The best time to test with OPK is in the afternoon (evening also works for some women, unless they have a very short surge), although many women can test as early as 1100AM or so. Just don't do it too early in the morning or you risk missing it as it isn't strong enough in your urine yet."
My guess is that CBFM may not volunteer that since they are trying to sell test sticks...less peeing and less confusion equals less sales
You are more likely to keep testing if your results are varied.
