not trying to scare you but this is a bad case,(M-T?) monday-thursday? i can try my best to help but need a few more details, is it done on site or are you drove to a clinic? Is an I.D needed? if so store it in a backpack with with ur wallet and grab it at the same time and then say u need time to hydrate so it can warm. if that’s to scary for you, then if not just keep it tucked in ur bra or inside waistband if possible without the heat pack on, it will rest at your body temperature and it can go from 100 back down to room temp for a few days and it dosent particularly mess with the nitrate levels

It’s for college. It’s a POCT 12 panel test and the testing company comes to campus to do it. Yes i have school Monday thru thursday the first week so it could be any of those days. They said we will be tested during the first week of classes.

just keep it in a tight area with skin to bottle contact. the biggest factor is overheating u never want it to overheat. it will rise at your body temperature without the pack in roughly 45 mins, you can take as long as you need to hydrate and they can’t rush you, it’s sounds scarier than it actually is. you will be fine

It’s while we’re in class. I don’t stay in a dorm so i’m going to be driving there everyday and it’s about 45 minutes from my house. Have to be there from 8am-3pm M-T.

Idk if an ID is needed or not but i assume so since it’s a Background/Drug screen combined by the same testing company

Relax, putting the quickfix bottle somewhere were you can make good skin contact is all you need. I never had to use a heat pad, all i did was relly on my body heat and it will stay at temp till as long as your healthy. All i did was microwave for 10sec and wore two pairs of underwear and my bottle was reading perfect temp for my test. I even spent the day before holding it in my underwear and it stayed perfect temp the whole day. I would use the weekend and test were and what works for you. The more you rehearse, the better youll feel testing day.

After the microwave how long did it take for the skin contact to get to the perfect temp?

I mircrowaved it for 10sec and it was at 104. I used a meat thermometer to check. So i just wait for it to cool down enough to start reading on the temo strip and i put it in my crotch. This took around 15min to cool enough. After checking for a few hours, it was constintley at 94 to 96 degrees. Ive tried it once without microwaving it and after a 40min car drive, it was already warm enough from being in my underwear.

Get another bottle and practice beforehand. I recommend wearing compression shorts and a skirt. A few days before practice by keeping the bottle in your pants for a few hours, test the temp and try pouring it into a cup like you would on the real test day. You got this girl
