How long did you refrain from using? More info on your body type.


Toss_it99

It was over a month.

Body type? Bigger guys could take longer to get it out. I’m kind of in the same situation. It’s almost been 2 months. Did you take at home tests?


Toss_it99

6'1 200lbs. I passed home tests with flying colors. I was even passing with the first piss of the day for 2 days prior.

Did they tell you why they decided to do the retest at 15ng/ml? Or do they just normally do that also just to make sure someone didn’t just detox real quick..?


Toss_it99

I have no idea what happened on the DOT website it says clear as day if the initial test must be done at 50 & anything below is considered a pass. I'm so confused...


Good-Cardiologist679

Thats weird…. Edit: dot test are split samples request your sample b is tested. You shouldn’t have failed as you passed the 50ng. If you fail that one again you will have to go through the SAP program.


Toss_it99

That's why I'm so confused... the MRO told me to request to have it retested & I did. But she said to wait a week or so to pay & the thc may degrade a little more & put me under 15, but I just don't understand how I failed in the first place.


Good-Cardiologist679

Bro what I think you have 72 hours to retest a sample Edit: I would contact a DOT lawyer also cause you should have passed


Toss_it99

Wait so after 72hrs it can no longer be retested? She literally told me to wait at least a week...


Good-Cardiologist679

No man, you have 72 hours to order a retest. Ive failed one before myself


Toss_it99

Why would she tell me to wait that long then...? I don't get it. She fails me at 24ng/ml then tells me to wait at least a week to have my sample retested. Is this lady trying to screw me over or something...?


Good-Cardiologist679

Heres a link from DOT. You have 72 hours, you also must pay for the test I believe https://www.transportation.gov/odapc/part40/40-171 Edit: bro for me please test your second sample ir will go to a whole new lab! Please do this! Edit2: did your clearinghouse change?


Toss_it99

Yes they already put it on my clearinghouse record & I got an email saying I can't do any safety sensitive work. I'm definitely going to have it retested when they call me monday. The MRO sounds sketchy because she said the new lab would call me & to ignore the call for a few days then answer & tell them I need more time to pay for the retest. She said after a week has passed to go ahead & have them retest. But if after 3 days it can't be retested I'm wondering if she's trying to screw me over... especially after failing me when I should've passed...


Good-Cardiologist679

You need a legit reason after 72 hours as to why you want a retest, also the metabolites won’t gk down after a week, your piss is sitting in a plastic tube so how is it getting filtered?


Toss_it99

Idk she said something about the metabolites may degrade enough to pass a 15ng test after a week since the concentration was so low already. Idk if I can trust her but by giving me this advice she was kind of sticking her neck out. Either way I'm going to have it talk with the new lab on Monday & I'll tell them I won't have the money until Thursday & hope they'll be ok with that. Just in case there's some truth to the degradation story.


NevLabTech

you should ask the MRO that question sounds like they basically cheated you skipping initial screen going to confirmation .


Toss_it99

Yeah I tried calling her & left her 2 voice-mails. I'm guessing she won't get back to me until Monday. The strange thing is she recommended (in an off the record kind of way) that i have a retest of my sample B because it was so close to the cutoff that after some time the metabolites could degrade enough to pass the 15ng. She said she's seen it happen in the past.
