Failed my drug test (UA) but trying to understand the results...Need help!
Here is my brief story with a couple of questions to follow: I was daily smoker and I understand how the levels of nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml) build up on one's body. So I stopped smoking on April 29th with my last hit the previous night around 9pm. I started taking the at home drug test from Walgreens about 3 weeks later. I failed the first one which I thought I would but assumed I was getting close to the cutoff level. I passed my first at home test on May 21st around 11am with no dilution as I had a cup of coffee and 1 bottled water. So I keep testing myself at home which I pass every attempt (2 more of the test from Walgreens & a few strips purchased from another store).
So my test for the job was coming up on May 28th at a Concentra facility which sends out the UA to Advanced Toxicology Network. At this point I have passed 3 at home drug test (Walgreens) and three strips since May 21st so I believe that I am in the clear. One test even used the first void of the day which also showed as negative. I failed my drug test for the job on the 28th and thought that the job must have had a lower cutoff level such as 20ng/ml or even 15ng/ml. Needless to say I have been bummed out since.
The MRO called and told me THC showed up on the drug test and I was so shocked I was speechless at the time. The at home test gave me a false sense of security. So I call the MRO back the next day and one of the assistants tells me that the positive result showed 62ng/ml of THC in my urine.
Here's my question: if the at home test has a cutoff of 50ng/ml and I pass 3 of them with the first passed result a week before the real UA, how was my level of THC at 62ng/ml?
When I called the MRO back I assumed I would have been told the THC level was below 50ng/ml then I would have known the job was testing at a lower level. I do not understand why my results showed the 62ng/ml even though I was passing the at home tests that cutoff at 50ng/ml. Can someone please help me understand the results.
Because at this moment I do not have any faith in the at home test and people saying if you pass those you should be all good. Thanks in advance for any responses.bigfoot25 Reviewed by bigfoot25 on .
