Is FMU really necessary?

mom of TDN

This 2WW has made me crazy. Im anxious to test now while Im at work. Does FMU really matter? Thanks.

MrsDT

if you test early, then probably. otherwise no

My BFP was not with FMU.

If you are testing early, yes it is necessary.

I tested the evening before AF was expected and it did not matter...GOOD LUCK

My BFP was also not with FMU, but it was super faint, and I was 14DPO.  If you are testing really early it probably would be better to wait for FMU.

I got my BFP without FMU!

if you're testing early yes.  although holding your pee for 3ish hours will usually work too.

MrsDT

I tested at 11DPO with FMU and the line was VERY faint. I doubt it would have showed if I didn't use FMU, but I guess I'll never know.... so I think it just depends how early it is

Depends on how many dpo you are. If less than 14, yep, probably. Otherwise, you're probably OK. Once you're past 18dpo, you should be able to test whenever during the day and get an accurate result.

I don't know how many dpo I was when I tested, but it was at least a week after I missed my expected period, maybe more - I POAS at 2pm and with decidedly UN-concentrated urine (as I was peeing all the time at that point), and my BFP showed up in under a minute.

yes, just hold off until tomorrow morning.

It only matters if you want the highest concentrated urine to test with.

I got my BFP at 9DPO and I didn't use FMU.

But I am apparently a freakish anomaly.
