BFP not using FMU?? Is it possible?
I know you're suppose to use FMU but can you still get a BFP using urine from later in the day? How many of you ladies have gotten BFP without using FMU?

Re: BFP not using FMU?? Is it possible?
So why is FMU recommended? I know its to build up the hormone in the urine but its not necessary to use FMU then? If not using FMU should you at least hold your urine for 3 hours or is it not necessary?

Re: BFP not using FMU?? Is it possible?
I got a faint line with FMU. I tested again an hour later and got another faint line and a BFP on a digital. I tested again that night and got a darker line
It's totally possible, just depends on the level of HCG in your system
Edit: they recommend FMU early on because the HCG levels are more concentrated because you haven't peed in a while.

Re: BFP not using FMU?? Is it possible?
of course you can. i got mine at 12dpo with 10pm urine.
FMU is really only necessary for those testing wayyy earlier than they should. 12dpo is still early but i have a short LP normally so for me its close enough.
IMO you shouldn't test until at least 12DPO and always use a quality test like FRER. if you are testing any earlier than that and HAVE to use FMU to build up the HCG.. then you are testing too early!!

i think you should probably hold your urine for a bit if you plan to not test with fmu.

Re: BFP not using FMU?? Is it possible?
FMU is recommended before AF is expected because it allows for the highest concentration of HSG.
My usual LP is 11 days. The BFP in my album was taken late at night at 12 dpiui.
I'm also pregnant with which likely added to the amount of HSG in my system.

yep. and don't drink too much liquids while you are holding it because otherwise you dilute it.

Re: BFP not using FMU?? Is it possible?
I got 2 bfps in one night, at 6pm and 10pm. FMU is not necessary for a bfp.
It's really only recommended if you are testing too early, days before a missed period. The hcg hormone is more concentrated when you haven't peed overnight.

Re: BFP not using FMU?? Is it possible?
When I tested, it was at 6:00 at night. I *think* it was the day my period was due, my cycle was not usual that month. Anyway, yes, it is possible!!! I also tested an hour later and still got a line.

Re: BFP not using FMU?? Is it possible?
With dc#1 I tested at 6pm and had a recognizable line (approx. 12 dpo)
This time around I tested at 4pm & 8pm the same day (approx 8-10 dpo) and had a super faint lines. I tested the next day with FMU and the line was only slightly darker in the am.

Re: BFP not using FMU?? Is it possible?
Yup-I can never hold out for FMU. As soon as I get that stick, I pee. Then confirm the BFP the next morning with FMU.
