I havent done thattest yet but i think you just weewee on it as it comes...I think they mean dont stick the test in the freezer (ewww) or leave in on the window cill on a hot day before you test.

It does say to use the wee at room temp but if you only collect a little wee and then put it in the sink with some cold water to cool down quickly then do it. That's what I do any way lol

We had a thread a wee while ago about this and i didn't even realise i was meant to wait until pee was room temp. If that's what it says on the instructions i would do that - i never got a dark positive on an OPK but get PEAKS on my CBFM, so maybe i was doing it right?

I have just brought some to try for the first time this month, Mine says to let your wee get to room temp eg leave it for 20mins then use it to test.

Good luck with them, I am wondering what to expect with them

I dont think it matters either hun.

I think they just say that so you don't put your wee in the fridge before testing LOL x

It said that on the leaflet of the ones I used and I left the sample sitting for 20 to 30 mins and then tested, I also think it said to read the result after 10 mins. Sometimes I did what Logiebear said and put a little water in the sink and placed my wee sample container in it to cool it quicker. I thought the opk worked ok I would read the instructions and do what it says.
