Test tomorrow..just need advice

[cdltrucker]

I've read a lot on this site today but just want to ask to see what you all think.

I haven't smoked for 73 days (May 28 was last time). I had smoked everyday for about 2.5 years. I took a First Check THC test this morning with 2nd void and I take my test tomorrow morning for a new job so I don't have time to do a 1st void test again. I figured I could sub if I have to but would rather use my own. I got a lighter pink line than the Control but it was a definite pink line. I am a woman, 5'5 and about 190lbs so definitely not thin but not obese and mostly sedentary as I am a nursing student and sit studying most of the time. I also take a prescription diuretic and drink water on a normal basis so I'm kinda worried about it being diluted anyway.
As much as I would LOVE to continue smoking, I won't anymore because of my line of work. The test will be done at Labcorp if that matters.

Any advice??

Also, apparently my ex had an account on here with my email address.... hence the screen name :)

Here is a pic without the flash on, it seemed a little lighter with it on

Any pink line at all, no matter how dark or light is passing. A light pink line in the "drug" window for THC is normal for a negative result and is no indication of how concentrated THC metabolites are in your system, only that it is below the cut off level indicated on the test.

Ok Thanks.
I'm just really stressing out over this as you can probably see. My husband thinks I am nuts. I bought one more test to be sure that it's negative with 1st void tomorrow morning. I do have the option of subbing with clean urine, but that makes me nervous as well. I just reallllly need this job. I've got one negative test and 75 days sober on my side. I'm probably ok, right? ;)

I'm in the same boat as you. My spouse also thinks I'm nuts. I think we're both going to be fine ;) Take the home test tomorrow like you said and then relax.

Okay, I tested at home this morning and had another faint line, so I went ahead and tested, drinking a red gatorade on the way. Could that by chance have changed the color of my urine? My actual UA sample was quite a bit darker than my 1st void that I tested with.
The test itself was pretty straightforward, she had me lock up my purse in a box in the restroom and gave me the cup. She was on the phone while I was in there. Signatures and initials and it was put in the bag in the same sample cup and sealed. She said it should be 3-5 days...I'm assuming business days. I was really hoping to start my job on the 20th, so I HOPE that it all comes out ok.
Just looking for a little reassurance so I don't stress out about it all weekend long!

I will update when I get the results.

You're going to be fine. Don't smoke anything in the off chance they lose the test or something stupid like that, you'll have to retake it. Just relax ;) I've got my u/a Monday. It should be all good.

your situation is eerily similar to mine. my guess is that if you passed a home test with your first void of the day, assuming you didn't drink anything before that void, you're good to go. based on what i've read here, a single gatorade probably isn't going to throw off the test. someone can feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.
