when to pee on opk's?

[loopylew]

Hi girls, i'm new to this opk'ing usines and i wondered if i could pee on them any time of day or if it has to be fmu like pg tests?

NOT fmu!

Generally between 12 noon & 2pm is best

fantastic!! thought id missed the boat, my cycles are irregular and today my cm is stretchy so i thought i best test even though its out of sync with my ticker!

 

[Wobbles]

CM a good sign to BD anyway!

I made the mistake of using OPKs with fmu - was quite a while before I caught on to the fact I wasn't meant to

 

[loopylew]

yeah will have to BD tonight, this is my month using opk's and charting so i'm picking it up as i go along!! lol

 

[Wobbles]

Good luck

Any ideas why youre not ment to use fmu? Opks never worked for me unless i used fmu and you have to use it for the cbfm....

I would be interested to know the answer to that too as opks are not working for me at the mo, i have been testing mid afternoon but making sure i've not had too many drinks to dilute it and also waiting a good few hours between trips to the loo

From what I have read the LH hormone peaks for women in the morning, but it doesn't get through the body (and into the urine) until midday or later. So if you test in the morning it's not showing the levels that are in your body yet.

Hmmm, ive gotten a positive in the morning, so how would that work?

Midday is supposed to be better - they say that first thing in the morning, that your urine is really concentrated and could give you a slightly early result (still shows you are about to ovulate in the near future though!) or that you could miss it.

Good luck and happy bding!

not good when your at work, i can do fmu at home lol

 

[avistar]

Yeah the CBFM wants fmu...but I am sure it wants fmu because it is measuring more than just your LH surge. Loopy has you CBFM still not come yet?????

 

[loopylew]

i've not ordered one, just thinking about it at the mo', charting and using opk's currently
