Question about OPKs
I am going to use them this month and read the directions last night. From what I understand, after poas, you have to lay the test down flat for 3-5 minutes. My silly question is, since you have to do it midday, and I'll be at work - where do you lay your test? The stalls at my office don't have any sort of flat surface.
It sounds like such a silly logistical problem, but I am concerned that I won't get an accurate reading.

Re: Question about OPKs
I had the same concern and I didn't want anyone at work to know I was trying so I actually took them when I got home @ 5 or so. They still worked.

Re: Question about OPKs
I usually do them when I get home around 5:45pm. Today, I brought the test to work bc I am not going straight home and I want to still do it at the same time. I plan on laying it flat on the toilet paper thing-y.

Re: Question about OPKs
Hmmmm....maybe you could put it in a drawer in your desk..assuming you have a desk. Or what I do, is lay it accross a paper cup on my sink. But I don't know if you want others to see it or how private it is where you work...Good luck!

Re: Question about OPKs
I have my own office - it's just that the bathroom is quite a walk (I can't see myself walking with my stick out past 6 other offices) 
Would it be odd if I built a shelf in the stall for myself?

Re: Question about OPKs
Maybe you can pee in a cup and carry that back. I'd love to see someone do that at work too!

Re: Question about OPKs
I took mine around 8PM and got an accurate reading. I read that you can take them pretty much anytime....just hold your pee for a few hours and don't drink anything....
