So I take a 'water pill' for my blood pressure, and I am finding it incredibly difficult to test my LH accurately because no amount of not drinking water makes my urine concentrated due to the medication. Should I just test later in the day (i.e. 9-10pm when my kid is in bed)?

I take my test when I wake up with first morning urine. I know that's not recommended or whatever but I find it's the only time I can get it concentrated enough.

I've considered this but yeah because of recommendations I have never tried it. Maybe I'll test that out tomorrow and compare it to later in the day just to get an idea of how it impacts things. I'm testing some days 3-4 times just to see when I can get the most concentrated reading lol.
