Answer

You just want to make sure that the urine isn't too dilute - which will give you a false negative. So don't drink a whole bunch of water to try to pee and then take the opk. 
​
​I usually take mine after work - I hold my pee until I get home and I usually don't drink anything after lunch. 
​
​You can take it with first morning urine as well - but there's a small chance of a false positive because your urine is so concentrated (it happened to me once and threw off my whole cycle prediction - but I think it's rare). 
​
​Whenever you choose, do try to do it at the same time every day, because otherwise you might miss it. 
​
​Hope that helps!

It's definitely overwhelming at the beginning, but all becomes easier after a couple cycles. Though hopefully you won't even get that far :)

Thanks Caroline , I'll purchase some tomorrow . I'll be even more interested now to know where I'm at because I've definite ov pains last night and this eve and I think ( judging by what I've been reading about other women's experiences ) that I may have had a cm discharge . There's so much information to digest this time round it's kind of overwhelming .
