How do you define FMU?

If I have to get up and *tinkle* at 3:00 or 4:00AM, do I:

A) test then

B) *go* at that point and then test when I re-wake up at 6:00? OR

C) *go* at that point, re-wake at 6:00 and hold it for as long as I can and then test?

Should this go under "You know you're obsessing about a BFP When..."?!?! LOL!!!

Cheers!

HA! At least you haven't lost your sense of humor! I am just as obsessed. I don't know the answer, but would think it could be either as long as you don't drink anything, it will still be as "strong". But really don't know.

I have tested 2x, both BFN's but both were after dinner, after drinking water all day. I am now wondering if AF doesn't show should I try with FMU. Could it make a difference?

Good luck getting the answer and the BFP!

Hi-I'm not sure about the first question, but it probably depends on when you drank last. I would use the 6am urine. FMU makes a huge difference! It is more concentrate and will have more hcg in it from not drinking all night.

hope this helped.

So long as you aren't drinking anything.....if you chose option "C" without having had anything to drink after going at 3 or 4am that would be the MOST concentrated you can get. If you had something to drink before you went to bed, the 3/4am urine would be from that, but the next would be without any fluid consumption and the longer you wait the better, so ya, I'd go for "c".

When I tested BFP last time it was 15dpo at 11am after holding for 3 hours without drinking anything all morning- came up + right away.

I agree with Tara,

Go for "C", and try not to drink anything or go to bathroom as long as you can. The longer you wait, the stronger it will be. Just don't "bust a gut" or anything". (Haha!)
