LAB RESULT TIME FRAME QUESTION?

[Four204eva]

I am on probation right now and for the past year my probation officer has not given me a UA at all.... last week tho i went in to report and it was gonna be my last report, they were cutting me loose 2 years early and he popped a UA on me... It had been 10 days since i last smoked and i drank about a gallon and a half of water before i went in because i always do just incase... i know that normally they use the little 10 pannel strip test.... although this time they didnt... i peed in a vial and they put the chain of custody stickers on it and im geussing they sent it to a lab? after i left i went and got a home test and tested clean (2 very dark lines)... the pee was still a lil yellow but im certain that it would come back diluted from a Lab... my question is if anyone knows how long it takes normally for the results to come back from a lab?... its been over a week and i havnt heard anything ....

If you dont hear any news by Monday, then consider yourself home free. :jointsmile:

that long huh? i figured that this day and age things would move a bit quicker.... i wish i woulda got the name of the lab it was sent to im almost positive it wasnt labcorp, med tox or quest.... shits got me worried tho... ive passed many of the on-site tests but these lab test give me the creeps

I took a test on the 22nd and have not heard back one way or another on my results (for employer). They sent mine to Quest in California and Im paranoid too, even though I was passing home tests on my first void of the morning.

My company tests the first round of people on the 5th and did not notify them of pass/fail until the 15th, so Im saying 7-10 days max and then if you dont hear back, youre in the clear.

damn if youre passing home test first void you shouldnt even b paranoid! lol thanks for the info, i took the test wed so i guess burnt toast is right about monday being the non worry day till then im effin trippin! im not worried about it being positive im worried about it being diluted! i took a test 10 min after and passed it, but i had drank hella water

well i pas paranoid because i drank alot of water without doing the supplements and thought I would be too dilute and have to either retst or just be screwed in general.

Pretty sure they got our results back today, heard the bosses saying only one person had tested positive and they was from a different department from mine. I tested on the same day as that person and am hoping im home free! Going to wait one more day, and if im not fired tomorrow, celebrate lol

Good luck to you!

being too dillute can automatically result in a the lab marking the specifim as a 'positive result, but at least if you get a dillute positive, you have to given a chance to retest I believe. Can Just blame it on a shy bladder, and just always drinking plenty of waterso you can be sure to not have to wait around for hours to be able to go, and not knowing anything about drug tests, especially that it wasnt allowed to drink plenty of fluids.

Well this will b day 8 and still no word.... Now im wondering if they will even contact me if it was dirty or just issue a warrant?

SUCKS,not like you can call and ask, they will ask "so what were you doing that makes you worry you wont test positive"

got my fingers crossed for you bro
