So, I took a UA today. I've been testing myself for the last 3 days, and since my 1st void of the day kept coming up with a ghost hair faint line, I decided I would do a little light dilution (the other tests I took throughout the day came up noticably darker).

I woke up this morning and 4 hrs before the test I took 4 aspirin. Then I drank a 32 oz Gatorade 2 - 3 hrs before the test. 3 hrs before I ate 2 Rolaids. 2 hrs before I ate 3 more. I wasn't taking any creatine the week before, but I had a nice medium rare 12 oz steak Fri night and a huge burger yesterday for lunch. Since I wasn't doing a full blown dilution, I didn't take any B2 vitamins. About 30 - 40 mins before the test I drank half a 20 oz of Mountain Dew and drank about 4 - 6 oz of water.

So, I took the test at 2:00 today and the first thing the lady said when she saw it was, "That looks a little dilute". It definitely wasn't clear, but it wasn't as yellow as my Quick Fix. Yes, my dumbass had some QF, but since I was testing negative at home without diluting, I figured, why risk it. To be honest, it pretty much looked like my normal urine throughout the day.

I played dumb and asked what "dilute" meant, and she said I may have to come back and do another test, but that she would send it off to the lab to see. Am I screwed??? Since I followed the other dilution guidelines with actually less fluid than called for, is there a chance my sample comes up negative dilute?

Also, I heard that if they send it to the lab, they test for a cutoff waaaaaay below the 50 ng/mL that my home tests are....something like 15 ng/mL if I remember correctly.

Here's the best part. Not only did she not make me even empty my pockets, but this lady actually checked the "Yes" box on the temperature BEFORE I even took the test. Unbelievable and I'm kicking myself.

Anyone else have a similar experience that can make me feel a little better????
