Oh and lastly, is it bad to heat it up in the microwave numerous times? I am practicing and I have put it in there twice, one time for 10 seconds and it came out at 100. the second time for 10 seconds and it came out at 94 so I put it back in for 4 seconds and it went to 98. Is it faulty?
The QF can be microwaved over and over without posing any harm.Quote:

You need to look for the color to be dark green (as opposed to an "olive green") at the 98 - 100F mark.Quote:
It says Read Green Line. There were multiple colors, I am looking for the green line to be at 100 or 98?
What happens if it gets below 96 while in the waiting room and i go back to pee? I am being pessimistic, i know... :\ Would you use the heating pad that came with QF or buy a different one? Would you strap it to your thigh or under the family jewels? Anyways, off the lab tomorrow. Any last tips before d-day?Quote:

It went smoothly. Only 1 employee was working and there were 2 others in the waiting room, 30 minutes before closing. She was in a hurry and I kept talking to her to distract her and it worked!! She only put it in one tube? I have read that peoples are put into 2 tubes. Is one tube normal? By the way, the temp was 96 degrees.
NICE
welcome to the sub club
If its a non DOT test one tube is fine. Of course it makes it more difficult for you if there happens to be a false negative. Temp was in range so you will be good to go.Quote:
