Can the TEMPERATURE of URINE effect the result of a OPK?

By

As I was doing a Video Experiment yesterday, it occurred to me that there may be a possibility that the actual Temperature of Urine itself, could possibly effect the outcome of a OPK! As I was looking at the Tests (with the naked eye vs camera) they both yielded positive results BUT the T (Test) Line wasn’t as dark as it normally is on the Test used with CONCENTRATED Urine. I would have expected that with the Test used with DILUTED Urine. Of course going through my emails I actually came across one that had sparked my same interest and theory about THE TEMPERATURE OF URINE! Could that have had en effect on the result?

Can the CONCENTRATION of Urine effect the opacity of a Test Line on a OPK?!

By

I’ve had a few inquiries (Yes my fellow TTC’ers please keep the experiment ideas coming!) about whether or not the actual CONCENTRATION of urine, can effect the lightness or darkness of a Test Line? So, (seeing as how I’m not currently Pregnant) I thought, WHY NOT TEST WITH AN OPK? (Ovulation Predictor Kit) – For some odd reason during my last cycle I had an extremely higher level of LH (Luteinizing Hormone) and had tested positive the night before!

Blue Dye vs Pink Dye OPK

By

Well I got my Internet Cheapies in the mail last night and decided to Pee-On-A-Stick (Ha Ha) and yep it came out positive. So, today I made a video COMPARISON with my Pink Dye Test Strip vs my Blue Dye Midstream Test (Equate Brand) to see if I would yield the same results with both, and to see which Brand was better?

How long Do You Have to hold a HPT or OPK in urine?

By

So we you’re about to take a HPT (Home Pregnancy Test) or even a OPK (Ovulation Predictor Kit) – usually when you’re reading the instructions that come in the box, there’s a reccomended length of time they specify holding the Dip stick in the urine stream (or same difference if it’s a Midstream Test)! Honestly, I never really gave it much thought. Sometimes whenever I’m making these awesome, fun Videos for you guys, I can get a bit distracted, (say if one of my kiddos starts knocking on the door for example Ha Ha) and it may not be until I actually go back and watch the video that I catch something I hadn’t noticed during filming! When I first got the Equate Brand OPK I tested one with PM urine and being as it was a dreadful Blue Dye Test, I was a bit confused by the results! So maybe 15 mins later I dipped another one (in the SAME urine sample) and held it a few seconds longer. Guess what? The T (Test) line was darker than the C (Control) line! Whereas with the Test before, the 2 Lines were the SAME! Soooooooooo I concluded from that experience that it DOES matter how long you actually hold a Dip stick in the urine and (of course) how CONCENTRATED the urine sample is! I highly recommend holding the dip stick a minimal of 5-10 seconds! Anything less, may yield a much lighter result. Now keep in mind (whether it be a OPK or a HPT) a positive result is a positive result as long as the Tests are taken properly and read within the correct time frame. If you have a High enough concentration of HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) a HPT will yield a POSITIVE result, much like a OPK will if you have a high enough concentration of LH (Luteinizing Hormone) BUT – the Line opacity can differ! So, I will be conducting more Tests like this in the near future. But for now, I’m using the Blue Dye Tests and I hope you find this helpful!

The Difference Between CONCENTRATED Urine and DILUTED Urine

By

I get this questions A LOT! Can the urine concentration effect the outcome of a HPT and a OPK? Yes they can! So I made a short video just to show how they differentiate. Most of us honestly wouldn’t know unless we have been TTC (Trying To Conceive) for a while, and are experts! Lol I hope you all find this helpful.

By

After multiple positive OPK’s and using 3 different brands, I decided to do a comparison with The Dollar Tree Brand (New Choice) and The Walmart Brand (Equate). Essentially a Pink Dye Test vs a Blue Dye Test! So, which one’s better?
