hi mina.....many docs will tell you between 2-4 pm is the best time. i believe this is due to LH being at it's peak durring those hours.

good luck!

Hi: here is an excerpt from the fertilityplus website:

"Q: What time of day should I test?

A: The best time to test is 2 p.m., or as close as possible. Anytime between noon and 8 p.m. is fine, first morning urine is not recommended. The reason for this is that most women experience a surge in the morning, but it can take 4 hours for it to show up in your urine.

Make sure to test at about the same time every day."

If afternoons are not convenient for you, don't worry. I tested at all different times of the day (but I tested at the same time of day each month -- very important!) and never had a problem seeing my surge.

Good luck
