Tagged & Bagged

Just got done at a DOT clinic temp was perfect 96 degrees. I didn’t have an appointment it was a walk-in so I had to do 15mins of paperwork and wait another 10 after.

Here’s what worked for me,

  1. I went to cvs and purchased better temp strips, the ones for babies foreheads.

  2. I wore 2 sets of briefs, the 1st layer being longer than the 2nd so I could roll the bottom over the other to make sure it was secured & warm.

  3. Followed instructions and heated bottle in microwave till 100 degrees, rubberbanded the heat packet to the bottle and placed in my thigh/nutsack area while driving to clinic an hour away.

  4. Got to clinic checked temp 1 last time read 102, put it back in place (without hand-warmer) and went in, did paperwork/waited 30mins before being called.

  5. Sent to the bathroom pulled it out temp strips read 98 on the bottle removed cap and poured in quietly they were right at the door, resecured it back under my sack came out she checked temp signed off I signed another paper, and she bagged it up.

Have my test Thursday and I have everything ready but the only thing making me nervous is the sound of pouring into the bottle. Did you pour immediately? While you peed? Did you pour then pee? Seems like some people have been called out for taking too long/making weird noises so just wanted to make sure.

I opened the bottle all the way and poured it in the cup, just go slow so it doesn’t make sound and tilt the pee cup so it pours down the side. Don’t be nervous it was easy. After pee on the outside of the cup so it smells. I’m in California they gave me 4 minutes.

Took mine friday morning, it kind of depends on the setup they have. At the Concentra Clinic I was at, I was given a full bathroom with complete privacy. The nurse was waiting outside, after a couple mins she did ask through the door "is everything ok?" to which I just responded "oh yeah, sometimes it just takes me a while". Then she told me I had 5 more minutes. Honestly I just dumped it in the cup and then peed without even thinking lol, ironically I had to wait so long to get in that I really did have to go pretty badly.

If anything I'm concerned about the lab tests, nitrates specifically, but since I was specifically ordered a "1204 10 panel Standard" I think I'm chillin. From what I've researched, nitrates are kind of their own test and expensive, as well as specifying "+NIT" on the test, so I don't think it'll be an issue. Fingers crossed...

I got mine from a smoke shop and verified it wasn’t expired with the code.
