Faint line but freaking. My plan.

Thanks for the great site friends.

I got my offer letter today. It's good for 10 days so towards the end of that timeframe I'll sign it and send it. Right after that I get a package from HR with some stuff to fill out and have 3 days to take a test at Labcorp. All this means is I can potenially squeeze another 12-14 days from today.

Been smoking for a long time, daily but small amounts, at the most 3.5 grams per week. I'm active, have low body fat and a good metabolism. Eat well, lots of coffee and water and zero alchohol.

I'm on day 28 of abstinance and after failed tests on days 14 and 21 I got a definite faint line 6 hours ago. That being said, I'm still not comfortable. I cannot screw this up, I'm all in. So here is my plan.

Cutting to the chase I think the best plan is to substitute with real urine (wifes) and practice. I agree all the below is probably not necessary but this is just the way my mind works.

I'll home test first void tomorrow morning. Come Friday I'll take a real test at a local lab. Would it be wrong If I went to a lab corp? Can I do it anonymously?

I believe a lab test will give me an actual set of numbers so I can see my levels, correct assumption?


If those two pass, and the numbers look good, I might use my own. I have 5 more tests and 5 cups with temperature strips coming in the mail. I'll use that stuff to test my samples and practice substituting.

Random: Not planning on using a heating pad. Planning on showing up in suit and tie on "the day." Will have my wife drive me so I can sit cross legged en route but she is not coming in. Want to find a labcorp that isn't busy so I'm in and out.

Anything else?

missed first void but just tested again, line might be a little bolder on one side but doesn't consistently go all the way across like it did last night.
its strong on the right hand side and fades towards the left. it almost breaks apart and dissappears but not quite, if that makes sense.

ok final update. took a test at "any test" 11 panel preemployment screen using labcorp labled kit. i passed! this is day 30 for me. phew, no need to sub.

i am not feeling out of the woods.

first void today had the faintest shadow of a line in the history of the world. if i look hard enough, it might not even be there. it's weird, i can see it easier from a distance and at an angle. right on top of it, damnit it looks like a fail.

i tested again 30 minutes later and there is clearly a line. can any conclusions be drawn from this? i can stretch to this friday which would put me at 41 days. keep in mind i've passed several home tests and an 11 panel at an any lab 10 days ago. my family gets here today so if i change my mind and sub i have to do it before 3 o'clock.
