Tuesday question about FMU

Mrs. MoMrs. Mo member
in Trying to Get Pregnant

I just started using a CBEFM so I need to use FMU with it. I generally go to bed at 10ish but 6 of the 7 nights a week, I have to get up around 1 to pee. I then go back to sleep and wake-up at 4 to temp and go pee again. Then wake up @ 6 to take the dogs out and get ready for work. ( Oh, and pee again). This happens no matter when I cut myself off at night from drinking liquids ( whether I stop right before bed or have my last sip with dinner)

Now, would the 1am pee break be considered FMU or should I wait to POAS until I get up at 4 ? I have a small bladder so there is no way I could hold it and not pee @1. Would it really matter which I do as I'm not drinking anything when I'm asleep or would the 4am pee be better to use as it's been hanging out in my digestive track longer.

TIA

    if you can consistently get up to pee at 4am, then that is the one i'd use.  i use cbefm also.  just don't forget you have a window from the time you start cd1 each month.  so you'd need to pee between like 3 and 5 ish if you started at 4 on CD1

    FMU doesn't have any magical powers, it's just been sitting in your bladder the longest.  If 3 hours is the longest you can hold it (10-1 or 1-4), I'd take it at 4, I guess.

    Great, thanks. I actually have been doing the 4am POAS-ing but for some reason today I was thinking that the 1 am may be considered more FMU since it's the 1st time I get up to go.

    yeah, i think technically FMU is code for urine that is the most concentrated and not spoiled by lots of drinks.
