Up until now I've been using FMU with the digital OPK's...but I ordered line tests from babyhopes.com and the instructions that come w/ it say NOT to use FMU since an LH surge usually doesn't happen until later in the day (so I guess you could possibly miss it!). It recommends to limit fluid intake for 2 hours before testing and to test twice a day, between 11am-3pm or 5pm-10pm. I think I'm going to go with once a day and test at night when I come home from work...since that's when I'd Chat Icon anyway! Curious when everyone else usually tests? I was going to add "other" as an option on the poll (b/c there's ALWAYS an other Chat Icon but I decided to amuse myself w/ the "in my sleep" option! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

ok I think I might have to switch back to FMU! Today was the first day I tested when I got home from work instead of FMU and it was SO diluted!! the line was lighter than it was yesterday morning!! I drink so much water throughout the day I think it might not be a good idea for me to test later in the day even if your surge wouldn't normally show up til later in the day.....hopefully I don't miss my surge!
