opk question

hey there ladies i have a question about opks i am on a new diet that has me constantly drinking water. i am drinking about 4, 16oz bottles of water a day. i never got a bfp on an opk this month could it have been to diluted to get a accurate result?

it is possible that it is too diluted. The tests that I have taken said to test in late morning to late afternoon AND, to wait at least 2 hours from last time you peed and not drink or really eat anything as these could cause inaccurate resluts. So it is possible!

good luck!!!!

i usually hold my urine for 4 hours and without drinking hardley
anything.too much water can dilute the sample.that what it says
on the instructions.so maybe you just missed your surge.do you
take your temp?if you do that will also give you a clue if you
ovulated or not.keep us updated!!!i thought i had the same problem
until i got a postive on the opk yesterday.i hate waiting for 4
hours out of my day to test and maybe 2 a day.i wish you the best.

That's a tough one.  But I agree with the other posters that it was probably diluted.  I'd probably try to test in the evening if you have a chance to go for a few hours without drinking.

Good luck and I hope you O'd!!

I drink massive amts of water, too. OPKs usually say test later in the am to evening because of the time that surge usually occurs. I test 2 or 3 times a day and have found most of my surges still show w/fmu even though most OPKs say don't test then. Otherwise, I have to hold off on drinking for several hrs before testing and that's very hard for me.
