Ovulation tests and the 'no wee for 4 hours' rule before testing

[greeneone12]

Do they all carry this requirement? I can't not wee for 4 hours!! Is it essential you wait that long?!

I thought it was 2 hours? Although I haven't been able to stick to that every day myself...

I diddnt know this and i'm the same not peeing for 4 hours is not easy for me!!!

I use clearblue and it recommends I use it first thing in the morning and if not, try not to drinks loads as it can dilute your wee. Maybe give that a try

That's interesting, as some opks tell you not to use fmu, mine included...

Looking at other posts clear blue aren't all that popular! Might need to just cross your legs ladies!!

Onl theclearblue advanced is with fmu, because they just work differently. Other opks shouldn't be used n the morning. Lh could build up overnight and give you an inaccurate result.

I've just checked, I am using the advanced so it is fmu, I have never used any others though

That sounds crazy! Isn't it better to tempinstead of using OPK?

mine also don't wasn't first wee, is be stuck waiting for for hours!

(stupid phone!)

Personally I don't like temping and the clear blue stick seem to be working well for me just expensive :(

Mine say no first morning wee and that test should be done after 4 hours of not urinating! I can't see how I would ever get a chance to do that....these were from www.zoombaby.co.uk

I am concerned about using them and not sticking to the guidelines in case I get incorrect results! I thought maybe I could have a wee at work at 3pm and then hold it until 7pm when I get home but I reckon I would be very uncomfortable on my commute home!

Arrgh what to do!

I am not sure, also, how I am meant to hold it for 4 hours and then not let it be too diluted. This is all a bit more involved then I first thought!

It depends on the brand. My says I should try not to wee for two hours, which can be tricky but is better than four hours. Having said that, I have definitely not been using mine accurately every day and so that could possibly have affected the results. Am pleased I bought a batch of cheapo ones from amazon so it isn't too expensive.

Mine were fairly cheap too so guess its not too bad. Will just try and hold it as long as I can!!

Urine is more diluted the more you go so not going (or drinking) for two hours beforehand should be okay.

Thanks for your advice :)
