fluids, weeing and opk's???

[babyg]

Ok girls sooo i am currently on CD 6 and have been doing opk's for 3 days now, wanted to start early to make sure i dont miss anything but have few questions about fluids and weeing before doing your opk....


i tend to drink 1-1.5 liters of water in work each day (never drink as much on weekend so try to drink as much in week as possible)

for the last 3 days i have stoped drinking at 3pm (this means im drinking more of it before 3) to try and ensure that my wee has not been diluted for when i do my opk at 5 when i am home but im wondering now if i should limit it to 1 liter or less.

could me drinking 1-1.5 liters before 3pm still dilute my wee at 5??

and also should i try hold my wee after 3 until i get home at 5?? will this make it a lot stronger or not??

i know its no good for you holding on but wondered if it would help me get a positive result.

i gettign kinda obsessed already


thanks

baby dust to all xxx

Hi, I am in a similar boat. i think consistency is the key thing. I drink loads of water at work too. what i do is - I always stop drinking at 3pm, go for a final pee at 5pm if needed or earlier if cant hold on (usually this pee is still quite diluted and then hold my pee for as long as possible usually only about 7.30-8pm. I do this as i find it easier to hold my pee at home as i literaly wait till i am bursting!! You have started testing early but it doesnt hurt, I find it amazing watching the changes through my cycle,the human body is an amzing thing!!

Thank u very much for the info

I tend to do mine at 5 when I get home coz I'm usually out and about most evenings and wanted to be consistant with the time I was doin them.

I think ill try stop drinkin at 2 now, see how things go.

Baby dust to u and good luck

This might be a bit TMI but I can tell if I've drunk too much as my wee will be clear.

Which is healthy and how it's meant to be but my OPKs havent worked unless it was yellow.

I tend to have my last drink at 3.30 and then test at 5.30 when I get home.

I normally have to wee before then but as long as I can get a bit out at half 5 it seems to work ok.

Good luck!! Xx
