Do you think FMU really matters when taking HPT?

Of course I have all of these symptoms (obviously just in my head) and now I'm thinking -- I didn't take either test (yesterday or today) with FMU.

Yesterday took it around mid-afternoon.
Today took it about 20 mins after already going to the bathroom.
Both tests resulted in a whole lot of NOTHING!

Do you think this could make a difference in the results? OR am I just totally reaching here - and if so, bring me back to reality girls!

Tomorrow is CD31 - and 15DPO. My cycles are anywhere from 30-34 days long. I have no idea how long my luteal phase normally is. UGH! I just feel so so so off that if I'm not pregnant I need to get a z-pac or something bc I feel like crap!!!

Thanks for listening to me whine

if youre 15 dpo and cd 31, i think that u should try testing tomorrow with fmu just to make sure

Re: Do you think FMU really matters when taking HPT?

If you are doing the digital, you may not get a result like a regular POAS. There are no as acurate early on.

Some people get BFNs but are PG. So unless you have AF, there is a chance. And they get a BFP days later AF was due.

When I was PG with DS, I felt sick like I had a bad cold.

Test with a "regular" POAS and do it with FMU.

No...I dont think I ever tested with FMU and got BFP's as early as 9dpo with a mid afternoon pee.

After say 14dpo...any time would be fine.

Im sorry

Re: Do you think FMU really matters when taking HPT?

I think it matters! I took an HPT with FMU and got a positive, then another one later in the day and got a negative. Your hormone levels are so low in the beginning. GOOD LUCK GIRL!!!!!!!!!

Re: Do you think FMU really matters when taking HPT?

i def think it matters that early on. some women take much longer to get a bfp on an hpt than others even when they are definitely pregnant!

Re: Do you think FMU really matters when taking HPT?

They say that FMU is best.

On that note I got a BFP on a dollar tree test at around 3 pm in the afternoon at 10 DPO. But I have a short LP so 10 days was the day AF was due for me.

Good luck!

Re: Do you think FMU really matters when taking HPT?

I just tested this morning with FMU and still BFN.

Just a waiting game for AF to show now.

Re: Do you think FMU really matters when taking HPT?

The reasoning makes sense....

read the box of the test itself - if you are testing PRIOR to a late period, you NEED FMU. The hormone will be MOST present then. The chances of an accurate reading are also LESSENED the earlier you are testing.

if AF is late - time of day does NOT matter.

For me - i was 2 days late and tested at 8:30 PM, after drinking a soda and got two positives. I got the positive on the digital at 10:00 PM.

Re: Do you think FMU really matters when taking HPT?

Di, I tested one late afternoon, 4 days before AF was due, BFN

Then i tested a day after AF was due with FMU and that is when i got my very very faint line-BFP.

hang in there,

Re: Do you think FMU really matters when taking HPT?

i think if you are past 15DPO you should get an accurate result at any time.. FMU is best when testing early , before AF is due

Re: Do you think FMU really matters when taking HPT?

Thanks everyone for responding! It's just a waiting game for AF to show up now!
