i just tested at quest labs today. i was a semi-frequent smoker (approx 2 bowls/day) over the course of 3.5 months. i quit once i caught wind of a test coming up and bought myself 35 days clean. the morning of my test, i tested clean on a home kit. i decided to be safe and drink plenty of fluids to void a few extra times before my test at mid-day. all i had to drink was an energy drink (~18oz) and about 10oz of gatorade. this was over the course of approx 6 hours. a total of 28oz of fluid over 6 hrs prior to the test.
i wasn't so much concerned about my fluid intake considering i tested negative on the home test. however, my urine was turning clear having expelled the energy drink with 4-5 trips to the bathroom prior to testing. i realized i was starting to urinate clear and took a multivitamin with B12 1.5 hrs prior to taking the real test.
my question is: since i did not drink the extreme amounts of fluid as with the dilution method, yet my urine was still turning clear, am i still at risk of returning a diluted result? btw, the b12 kicked in and i submitted a neon yellow colored sample. i will be sure to post my results. but in the meantime, any thoughts?
