View Full Version : Did I accidentally dilute too much

In the end I am not worried about passing my test...my at home tests on various voids came back negative, but on test day I was nervous and wanted to slightly dilute to be careful even though it had been 101 days since I last had anything.

The day of my test I had 32 oz of Gatorade and maybe 8 oz of cranberry between 10am-12pm and had breakfast at about 10:30am. I had perhaps 12-16 oz of Gatorade, 8oz fiber drink, and 4 oz of OJ between 12pm and 4pm (test was at 4pm). So 64-68oz total in 6 hours and only 24-28oz in the last 4, instead of loading like crazy toward the end.

I think this is just about an average intake of fluids for me but became concerned I was over doing it b/c N2's method has 64 total oz in 4 hours.

My only real concern is if I diluted myself to trigger a negative-dilute.

At about 1:30-2pm I had two voids that were clear and just about stopped drinking until my test at 4pm out of fear of over doing it.

Tested myself negative on a void where color had returned (about 2:45pm) and took my real test at 4pm where there was natural color (non-vitamin).

...I was not going every 20 minutes and I was not asked to sign/initial any specimen bottles when my test occurred.

Since you did no creatine loading the odds of you coming back negative/dilute have gone up dramatically. No one with any modicum of certainty can guess as to whether YOU triggered that result or not. Too many variables. Good luck.

If what youre saying is true, then this would be considered a serious breach in Chain of Custody (aka "fatal flaw") which would result in a "cancelled test" (null & void) and enforcement action taken against the collector. Without any type of identification on the specimen bottle(s), there would be no way for the lab (or the MRO) to link that specimen to you.
