The cheapie strips always worked perfectly for me with FMU. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-is-the-best-time-of-day-to-take-an-opk#post-2522984 Tue, 12 Apr 2016 20:50:34 +0000 dc yoga bee 2522984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I used that monitor for four months, and then went back to the cheapies! I have a short surge as well, and I think it happens at night, gone by am. Plus, those sticks are expensive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-is-the-best-time-of-day-to-take-an-opk#post-2522982 Tue, 12 Apr 2016 20:49:05 +0000 Smurfette 2522982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: I started using the Clear blue monitor last month. It never caught my peak using testing in the am. Since we are TTC this month I am going back to the OPKs in the afternoon. It worked when I got pregnant the first time. Guessing I have a short surge which is why the monitor didn't catch it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-is-the-best-time-of-day-to-take-an-opk#post-2522980 Tue, 12 Apr 2016 20:46:10 +0000 simplyfelicity 2522980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePumps: @dc yoga bee: That's what I thought! I asked for a friend. She only had the to options and she thought that, between the two, am was better. I wanted to check with bees first. </p> <p>@PurplePumps: I am going to reveal myself as a super stalker but I have been silently rooting for you since I joined here two years ago. I am so, so stoked for you! Wishing you the most blessed pregnancy ever. :heart: :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-is-the-best-time-of-day-to-take-an-opk#post-2522973 Tue, 12 Apr 2016 20:33:38 +0000 dc yoga bee 2522973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @PurplePumps: I've always heard unlike pregnancy tests, FMU is the opposite of when you want to take them! i would definitely take it 6pm. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-is-the-best-time-of-day-to-take-an-opk#post-2522950 Tue, 12 Apr 2016 20:03:33 +0000 PurplePumps 2522950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd read before that FMU is not best for LH. I always did mine after work around 6-7pm after a 3 hour hold and always caught my surge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-is-the-best-time-of-day-to-take-an-opk#post-2522948 Tue, 12 Apr 2016 20:02:27 +0000 simplyfelicity 2522948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you could only take an opks at 6 am or around 6pm, when would you? Afternoons are not an option. Which do you think would be the most accurate? </p>
