Another OPK ?

in Trying to Get Pregnant

For those of you that do this at work... how do you manage?  I have the cheapie strips that I dip in a cup.  Just trying to figure out how to get the cup and strip to the bathroom with me.  Also, do you just stand in the stall for the full 10 minutes??  TIA

I work 8:30 - 5:00.  I leave the house at 7:30 (FMU isn't recommended) and I don't get home until 6:00.  Also, two nights a week I have class from 6:00 until 8:40.  I want to be able to test multiple times as I know it is easy to miss the surge, but I would have to test at work.  Also, what time of the day have you received a positive??  I have yet to receive a positive at this point.

    I use digital, so I would just slip it into my pocket & POAS. I wouldn't do it at work if I had to do the cup thing....

     

    Oh, and I was testing 2 times a day - I am able to use FMU & I would do it late afternoon (at work) as well. I got both of my +OPKs with my FMU (after the first + I didn't test again until the next morning)

    I use a dixie cup for collection, I discreetly put the dixie cup in my hand on the way to the bathroom.  If someone asks me why I have a dixie cup. "need some water to take advil".  I don't stay in the bathroom for the full ten minutes.  I discard the dixie cup and wrap my hand around the OPK until I get back to my office.

    This, except I don't use a Dixie cup.  I have a small medicine cup from like children's tylenol.  Doesn't collect as much, but it's deep enough to do the job.

    I usually test 2x a day, so I do test at work.

    I usually put the little cup and the test strip in my makeup pouch, and bring that to the bathroom with me.  So no one will think it's strange or anything.

    I usually pee, dip, and bring it back to my desk (again, in my makeup pouch).  I usually check it at my desk after 10 minutes, but I have my own office, so I have lots of privacy.  After checking it, I take it back to the bathroom to throw it away and wash my hands.
