OPKs and water

[Heather5]

OK...so I've read that in order to optimize your chances for conception, you need to drink lots of water to increase CM. BUT the annoying thing is that every month, when I get closer to ovulation, I start using OPKs...and then you're not suppose to drink anything for four hours. So I basically get up, pee, wait for four hours while I do some work, and then test. So I never drink anything from the time I go to bed till the time I test at like noon the next day. Does it matter?

I have been using OPK's for years now and they never gave me a false negative if I was drinking.  I never abstain from drinking and results are always the same.  This month I was testing twice a day, am and pm with evening test after food & drink.  Morning test always confirms what the evening test says.  So, don't worry about that.

Oh, OK! That's good to know. Maybe I just need to relax and not worry so much about drinking anything before testing then...as long as I'm not drinking gallons at a time :-)

Thanks, Helen!
