I have never had a positive OPK with FMU. I usually drink a lot of water during the day. Last month I cut back in the mornings, had lunch, didn't drink anything after lunch, peed about 2:00 for the last time and held it until around 6:00. It was very hard!!! But I did see a positive OPK in the evening, so it was worth it to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holding-it-for-opk#post-165496 Tue, 22 May 2012 16:04:33 +0000 MsLipGloss 165496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the CB monitor and always tested first thing in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holding-it-for-opk#post-165459 Tue, 22 May 2012 15:08:07 +0000 MamaMoose 165459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always used my FMU and didn't have a problem getting a positive or getting pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holding-it-for-opk#post-165450 Tue, 22 May 2012 15:05:07 +0000 Alivoo01 165450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a tiny bladder too!! I bought the Clearblue digital and the Wondfo ones as well. I use the Wondfo ones with FMU, but the Clearblue ones in the evening. I don't test in the evening until about 8pm so I don't pee from the time I get off work till almost bed time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holding-it-for-opk#post-165443 Tue, 22 May 2012 14:59:12 +0000 lilteacherbee 165443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually go around 12 after lunch and hold it until 4 when I get home from work. I don't drink much (if at all) during that time. I just make sure to drink a lot in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holding-it-for-opk#post-165442 Tue, 22 May 2012 14:59:05 +0000 Crisark 165442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've taken mine with FMU before and gotten a positive.<br /> I'm not doing that now just because I feel better taking them later in the day after work because that's when we'd BD anyway but I honestly don't believe you can't get a positive with FMU. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holding-it-for-opk#post-165437 Tue, 22 May 2012 14:54:24 +0000 Smurfette 165437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long does everyone hold it before they take their OPK? I go at 2 and then not till 4:30 to take the test (as I am leaving work). I have a small bladder so even stopping drinking after lunch is still hard. I can't imagine holding it any longer. Not to mention I am thirsty! I wish that you could take them with FMU. Maybe I need to invest in the CB monitor just for this reason </p>
