CBE digital OPK-when to poas?
With my first pregnancy/ttc journey I used the line OPK's which totally sucked-I never got the 2nd dark line, I pee way too much and drink so much water that it skewed the results. But I did get pregnant anyway, with no help to the opk...
So this time around I'm using the clearblue digital smiley face test. I remember alot of girls did great with these.
So my question is- do you poas with fmu? The instructions say you can do it at any time of day. Just curious. Today is CD 12 and no smiley yet.
Thank you!

Re: CBE digital OPK-when to poas?
actually, you should NOT use fmu for the opk's and actually, the best time to test is in the afternoon between 12 and 4, because for some reason, LH peaks around this time when your body finally releases it. make sure you have been holding your urine at least 3 or 4 hours if you can............i usually pee on the stick at night, only because when i work, it's impossible to do it at work in the bathroom.........i am lucky i get the chance to pee there lol. but, fmu is not necessary with opk's. it actually says it in the directions too i believe. also, i find it better to pee in a cup and then dip the stick for 15 seconds. there have been times when i have peed directly on it (the smileys), and then get an error!! then you just wasted that urine! so, i pee in the cup and don't get rid of it until i get my result now.

Actually the clear blue easy opk say you can use flu. They are the only ones though.

Re: CBE digital OPK-when to poas?
Thanks girls!
Here's the update-the past 4 mornings I've used the CBE OPK's with FMU in a cup (I agree its way easier that way)...
Anyway I've been having ovulation cramping the past 2-3 days (so maybe since CD 11?)
DH and I  on CD 10, well today is CD 13, this morning with FMU, no smiley...
But all day I've had O-cramping and so I POAS at 4pm after a playdate, and.....BOOM! Smiley
So tonight after hubby gets home it is ON...LOL
