Question

Can I store FMU for later

This may be a gross question but i saved my FMU this morning in a sealed container and i plan on getting a First Response test later on (im 11dpo)... will the test results be accurate ? i know FMU is best and i didnt want to wait until tomorrow morning.

Depends how long u plan on storing it for. After 2hrs theres a chemical breakdown that starts and ur results can be altered. Rule of thumb with urine is, 2hrs out of refrigeration and up to 24hrs in refrigeration. If u refrigerate it, make sure to bring it back down to room temp before using it to test. And I know it sounds like common sense, and believe me, it should be, but Im gonna tell u anyways...do not microwave it! Lol! Yes, people have done that lmao!! ;)
U can put it in a larger container so its more dispersed and will warm (or cool, if u like) faster.
Good luck! =))

As long as u have a decent hold time and minimal fluid intake, u can test with any urine of the day. Good luck!

11 dpo is early anyway. I'd wait a few more days before testing to avoid any unnecessary disappointment. GL
