OPK
Okay so I got the strips today, I ordered them online. And I just want to make sure I have this right....... I have a 26 day cycle so the paper says start testing on CD9. So on CD9 I would test sometime in the afternoon afet not peeing for 4 hours??? and minimizing fluids for 2 hours before??? Is this right??? Now this is where I am confused......after I dip the test what am I looking for 2 lines? but they should be the same color as the control line?
Sorry....I never did this before. TIA!

Whats FMU and i think i read its best to go in the afternoon right? Then when i get 2 lines it means we BD like bunnies  or should we BD before we even get 2 lines. Ugh! This was so much easier the first time around...... when I knew nothing. Ignorance is bliss.

FMU-- first morning urine..
its best to go between 2pm - 8pm..but the same time everyday..
when you get the positive.. (2 dark lines) then you BD that night .. and the next 2 nights if possible.. but definitely when you notice the test line as dark as the control line..that is your positive!!
and in the meantime.. try to BD every other day before you get that positive!!
