Hi, all. I've been lurking here on and off for the past few weeks. The company where I've been working the last year and a half as a temp has decided to hire me full-time and I had to take a drug test today as a formality...BUT I think the LABCORP tech might have suspected me of diluting, so I'm freaking out.
I took an at home test that is supposed to be equivalent to the 50 ng/dl (or whatever it is) yesterday and my second line was pretty faint so I decided to use the method outlined in the dilution sticky. I followed what was outlined in the sticky but my urine was still clear when I had to go to my appointment. I dumped it out and told the tech that I had a shy bladder and asked to wait. She could tell by what little residue was left in the cup that the urine was clear and asked me how much water I had drank. I told her I always drink about 8 glasses of water a day. She kindly told me not to rush, wait about an hour, and sent me back to the waiting room. But then she and a co-worker were whispering and looking over at me.
After an hour, I went back in and produced urine that was pale yellow. She had me sign and sent me on my way. But I've been researching labcorp policies and tests. If she suspected me of diluting, could she skip the initial analysis and have a gh/mc test done? Cause I might have less than 50 ng/dl but there's no way I'll beat 15 ng/dl. So...does anyone know if a lap tech can recommend a higher test can be run even if I pass the initial screen???
About me: I'm 5'8'', female, 180ish pounds (curvy but not obese). I usually use edibles (maybe 2-3 times a month) and the last time I used was a little over two weeks ago.
