need help with this opk kit....ty!

hi all..... back on the bandwagon of ttc this month...

okay so i got the first response opk 20 stick supply...
read the instructions..i have a 28 day cycle so they said to start testing the day after my period ends.

but no where in the packet does it say to test with fmu or in afternoon or how long to hold pee in.


i cant do afternoon cause i cant hold my pee for more than an hour lol....so it seems i have to do first in the morning.

is that okay? any responses or opinions? ty!

You really should only use afternoon pee because the LH surges in the afternoon. Some even test twice per day because if your LH surge is only 12 hours, you could easily miss it.

I have to pee every half hour...literally. What I did was start cutting off water after a certain time to help me hold it in as long as possible. If you can go 4 hours, great. But if not, I've gone 2 1/2 hours and gotten a positive.

I have always questioned this also....when I was using OPK's I would use afternoon but this month I am trying the CBEFM and it says to use first morning urine...so I'm really not sure which is correct!
