Quest Diagnistics In Southern California and Quick Fix 5.7 With Uric Acid

Thank you for all the info you provided. Sounds like we are fine. I'll update how it goes.

Apologies for bumping this but rather then start a new thread I figured I would continue here. I picked up some thc test strips that test for 50ng. My gf just used one this afternoon and it showed a clear negative. She doesnt use that much marijuana. The last time she really used was two weeks ago in the form of tincture. This was a few sprays each day for about 5 days ending about 1.5 weeks ago. Since then she hsingle ad one vape hit and a single Oreo cookie out of a pack of 3. The cookie/vape was last Saturday. Prior to two weeks ago any use was very non frequent. Now five days later the test strip shows negative with a solid (not faint) line.

If this isn't a fluke she would prefer not to substitute at all but I'm wary if this means anything other then she would have passed right now. We have more strips and plan on checking a few times but not sure if we should not substitute. So fat we have done two and both are negative.

How valid are these tests compared to the real deal and what are the chances of this just being a one off fluke? If they all come back negative up until tomorrow morning would she pass a test later in the morning.

The home tests and the assays used by the labs (for the initial screening) function on the same principle. Therefore, neither are more reliable than the other.

When testing yourself, always use the first urination of the day when THCA concentrations would be at their highest. By doing it this way, youre testing yourself under a "worst-case scenario". If youre routinely testing negative under that "worst-case scenario", youre good to go. :thumbsup:

Good know. The test has to be done by the first so we really only have tomorrow morning to do a worst case scenario test. If the test is clear first thing in the morning would that mean she would be good to go for the remainder of the day?

Yep, as long as she doesnt resume cannabis use between then and the scheduled U/A.

Last question, can an individual go to a testing place and just pay for a test in their own? Like could we go to one of the quest locations and take a private test not connected to the employer?

I dont see any reason why they wouldnt. Labs are in to making a profit, like any other business.

I have done this many times throughout the years. Labs are more than happy to do how ever many panels you want as long as you are willing to pay for it :)

For instance when I was trying to get into medical school I had to pee to be accepted into the program. Back then I was clueless as to how easy substitution was so I tried to clean out naturally. After 50 days and still peeing hot on home tests I was able to go and pay for my own test and get quantification as to exactly where I stood with my first piss of the day. I then decided to attempt dilution without creatine loading 5 days later at a different lab (the one the school would ultimately be sending me to) and came up negative/dilute and was able to see that my creatinine level had failed me. Then 3 days later after creatine loading I returned and diluted the same amount of fluids and this time I was negative and my creatinine was over 100 and passed. So I new without a doubt I was golden following that same exact regiment with the simple addition of 5 heaping Tbsp of creatine monohydrate spaced out throughout the day x 3 days. I think I only paid between $25 and $40 each for the tests. Good luck.

I used Online Medical Lab Tests, to get a lab test done at Labcorp. I was under the impression you couldn't just walk in to Labcorp and get a test done. I thought you needed a physician to order a lab test for you. I could be wrong.

Well after multiple negative home tests(First Check and strips from Amazon) using the the first void of the day around 2 in the afternoon my gf went in and just did it natural with no subbing. The home tests showed different intensities in the color of the negative line but no matter what time of day it was negative.

Even with the reassurance here I'm still stressing it. With the last time she consumed any cannabis being 9 days ago I don't feel 100% confident.

Do I legitimately have anything to worry about or should I just be chilling?
