Can someone please help? I keep getting positve OPK in the morning but not in the afternoon. This has been going on for three days and I am so confused! The first two days I did it with FMU and thought that was why but then this morning I used SMU and the same thing??? And in the afternoons I thought maybe I had drank too muchso yesterday and today I held off on the liquids and then held it for a/b three hours and still negative so I really need some help.

Thanx,
Anna

This is a little strange because you are not supposed to use FMU with an OPK because LH synthesizes itself later in the afternoon. Now some people CAN get a positive OPK in the morning, but it's reportedly much lower levels then to detect, basically you need to find the hours that work for you and when you detect your surge. You may want to just ask your doctor over the phone or something. It's best to test (holding your urine for 3-4 hours prior) between 2-5pm and up till 8pm. If you've been testing in the early afternoon try doing it much later toward the early evening.
