  I ordered a bunch off of Amazon for real cheap.  They came today, and on the directions it says that the urine and test strip should be room temperature.

  I know I've seen posts on here about this before, but honestly I can't find them nor did I pay attention to them at the time since the OPKs I *had* didn't say this.

  Does your pee REALLY have to be room temp for the test to work?!  Will I just be wasting my money if I test right away instead of wait?  I can't imagine people sit around and wait for their pee to cool off, lol...?! 
  

  
  
  hahaha oh geez!  I've always done pee right away and I've never had a problem!!  Thats strange.

  I've never heard that before. Maybe they just don't want you trying to store your pee in the fridge to use again later?

  Haha can't you just picture some clueless husband opening the fridge and freaking out cause there's a cup of pee in there?
