I've been given that advice as well to do a light dilute (drink 20oz of gatorade or something to that effect. The sodium is supposed to raise your specific gravity, I think so at least).

I understand the stressing out part. Especially when you have a pregnant wife (and given it's your first one you'll be stressing even more) and changing jobs. A lot to think about there, and not being able "medicate" sometimes sucks. This I know.

I'm testing negative right now (6 days removed) on a home test with a very faint line, so I was thinking about diluting on test day just to be sure. However, if I'm pretty much clean, I Rating: 5
