Hi Girls.

For those who have used their afternoon urine for testing, how long do you need to hold off having anything to drink & how much fluid would be considerd too much? I'm thinking about testing myself Saturday afternoon if AF still hasn't shown though, I have no idea how to go about afternoon testing blush.gif

Hi Naomi,

They say to just make sure that your urine is concentrated and one suggestion for making this happen is not to drink for a couple of hours before testing.

I think you'll be fine testing in the afternoon, just try not to dilute it too much with water or other drinks.

Good luck missy for a BFP!

When I tested in the afternoons I would not have anything to drink after about 2pm and would test at around 5pm.

Good luck!!

I got my BFP with DS in the evening after getting a BFN in the morning (not FMU). I find that if you wait until bedtime, drink no fluid after dinner and don't pee after dinner, then your urine will always be quite concentrated. Fingers crossed you get that BFP real soon original.gif

I tested at 12DPO this afternoon about 4.30pm and I hadn't had anything to drink since lunchtime and got a definate but faint second line come up.

Good luck. smile1.gif
