I found this, hope it helps,

"The best time to use the OPK tests is early afternoon or evening. This is due to the fact that occasionally your body will experience an LH surge inthe morning but it will not show up in your urine until several hours later. By testing mid-day you are more likely to catch a surge if it happens that day. It is a good idea to test the same time each day."

When I used them, the pack said to use them 1st thing, but I always got a negative result that way.  My friend used them at lunch time and she said that seemed to work best for her - presumably for the same reason Lynie said above.

Good luck!

Some women test twice a day once in the morning and once in the afternoon.  Around about 3pm is meant to be the best time.  The important thing to remember is to test at the same time every day or you might miss the surge, so for me I test at 6pm as I know I will normally be home from work at that time.  You also need to try not to drink or wee for 4 hrs before testing so that your urine is strong and concentrated for best results.  Some people don't have much success with them but I find if I go with the darkest line I get and take that as the positive it's normally correct with my temp shift.
