I've been using them first thing in the morning, but I keep reading that you shouldn't. I'm just worried that if I do it later in the day it won't be concentrated enough to show.

I had read somewhere that 2pm was the best time, and it worked out well for me! I wasn't a perfectionist about it but as long as it was between 1-3 or so I was happy.
-
I used them first thing in the AM and would usually get my smiley on day 2 of taking them

I've read that LH is most in your system between 2 and 4pm. I've also gotten results later than that, but I did once miss my full positive by having more than a 24hr gap. I wouldn't worry about concentration, but maybe hold for at least an hour first?
-
I do it when I get home from work any time between 6 and 10 and have seen a clear positive with Wonfos opks.

I've heard the best time to check is between 2 and 6 pm but I just can't do OPKs in my office so I do it twice a day. Once in the morning and once right when I get home from work. I've never had a problem catching my surge and getting a positive and I've had several positives in the morning!
-
I did them around 4-5 PM after work.
HCG (pregnancy hormone) is best detected in the mornings, but LH (what OPKs look for) is in the afternoon.

"Follow the manufacturer's instructions about the time to take your OPK. First morning urine is usually not the best for OPKs since your LH surge usually begins in early morning when you are still sleeping and may not be apparent in your first morning urine. If you test in the early morning, you may miss your surge entirely since LH levels may already be reduced by the next morning. Late morning or early afternoon is usually best unless the instructions suggest otherwise." -
I did them around 4pm. After lunch, I wouldnt use the restroom or drink much until I got home from work between 3:30 and 4:00.
-
I took at 430 when leaving work. I wouldn't drink or pee after 1.
-
I do mine post-work since I really can't do it during the afternoon at work. It's usually 8-8:30 when I do it? And I try to hold my pee but it's not always possible, LOL.
-
I do mine between 2 and 4. I hold my pee for around 4 hours before I take one.
