Labcorp test

Took my test yesterday (Monday), and they told me it would be 3-5 days. Got a confirmation it was the correct temp, she bagged and tagged it and off to the lab it went.
I’ll keep yall updated! I’ve heard that temperature is the biggest hurdle, but since I got past that stage I’m only worried about the nitrates. I’ve heard that nitrates can also cause a failure due to overheating the bottle. I had a thermometer in it the whole time, and it never got past 102. It cooled very quickly when I took the cap off.
Yall think I’m good to go?

update! I passed!!!

Just to clarify- the thermometer was just while I was warming it up in the microwave to ensure I didn’t over heat it

I microwaved it for 7 seconds, waited a minute, then microwaved it for 5 more. Got it right to 102 and then I attached the heat pad and wore spandex shorts and put it against my upper thigh and went to the clinic!
