Took a home test after drinking 40 oz of water combined with a bunch of b-complex. Got a faint line but it's there nonetheless. My screen is tomorrow at 9am. I will wake up a 5am and start the program.
Was it dilution or natural? Who knows but I'm playing it safe. I will drink gatorade instead of water staring in the morning after my first void.
I will update the thread after my screen.
Peace.
Have you been creatine-loading the past few days?
No,
Keep in mind that creatinine is tested as well as specific gravity in determining an overdiluted sample. Therefore when utilizing any dilution techniques, you want to load up on creatine 2-3 days before the scheduled U/A in order to keep the creatinine levels at a satisfactory reading. Creatine-loading will not do any good on the day of the U/A because it takes 2 days for the body to convert creatine into creatinine. Read up on the Dilution sticky thread.
Isn't that for lab purposes? It's a dot screen and I read that if you pass the screen, they stop it there and you're good.
I did eat some meatballs the other day, though.
Not necessarily. Instant-type kits that feature additional panels for creatinine and SG are available and increasing in use.Quote:

So, I guess I'm screwed.
yep. Or you could substitute it?Quote:

Other than the water and B2 for color, itâ??s really all you need.
Well, I took the test and I'm waiting until Monday for the results. If it's diluted and I have to re-test, will it be supervised? I just went out of state for some QF. The only reason I didn't do it before is because I never had the chance.
I'll tell ya, though....that urine sample was almost neon.
