OPK help

Maddie • Mon, Jan 27

I just recently started using O tests to help pinpoint ovulation. I haven't received a positive yet but I just entered my FW yesterday. However, I had some questions I was wondering if y'all could help me out with?

I drink a ton of water. Like, a TON. Anywhere from 90 to 134 oz a day (depending on if I work out that day or not). Can this affect the tests ability to detect my LH surge?

Also, my test instructions say the urine needs to be at room temp when tested. Obviously it isn't at room temp when I first pee in the cup. Does that mean I need to let it sit for a little while prior to testing to let it get to room temp? Can the temperature affect the results?

Lastly, I've read on here that a lot of you test twice a day to make sure you don't miss your surge. My question is, if DH and I are BD'ing regularly during my FW (at least every other day) will this matter? If the LH is there shouldn't it show up on the day I test or should I test more than once a day? I have been testing around 4 p.m. since CD10.

Thanks ladies!
