    The LH surge is usually in the afternoon or early evening, so definitely don't test with FMU - I tend to test around 3pm.

    Apparently if you use fmu you can actually miss OV as the surge can be fairly short in some ladies and therefore be low again come the morning!

    So yes defo afternoon/evening ladies!

    Good luck!

    Mine say to use FMU and I see faint lines for a day or two and then a strong positive for a day and then faint lines again. I always test around 6am before work.

    Would agree with MrsEH, it depends what tests you are using. With the more expensive ones FMU seems to be ok and the instructions lean towards this but with the cheapies mine say between 10am and 8pm. In the past I've used CBD and always got my smiley face with FMU! Good luck x
