OK all, let me know what you think ...

31 yo female
5'6, 135 lbs.
Smoked almost daily for four years until about a year ago (when my connection went out of business ), now down to 4x/month or less
Will have been clean 12 days at test time

I have taken two home tests and passed both (both those First Check tests for parents to give their kids) -- line not as dark as the "control" line but clearly visible.

I teach group exercise and therefore work out on a regular basis ... I went hard last week but have slowed down this week. (I lost five lbs. in the last two weeks.) Unfortunately, I have to teach the night before my test. I'm trim but put on about 15 lbs. since summer, so I've got more fat than I used to. (Though, like I said, I lost five of 'em.)

I drink a lot of water just out of habit, so I've been keeping that up -- about 3/4 gallon a day. I've also had 32 oz. cranberry juice the last three days.

I have the B12 and aspirin pills waiting. I had a burger for dinner last night, eating sushi tonight and salmon or steak tomorrow. I want to take the home test one more time ... hopefully a different brand if I can find it.

So given my course of action, my decrease in intake, and the fact I've passed two home tests ... should I worry? I don't know how accurate the home tests are vs. lab tests. (I'm taking a urinalysis, btw.) I'm going to start popping aspirin tonight, and take four over two hours before my test ... plus a B12 (500 mcg) to add color. My urine is pretty light/clear most of the time due to my usual water consumption.

any advice much appreciated!

I should add that I think my metabolism is slightly higher than average, given all the exercise ... though I don't work out as much as I once did (used to teach 8x/week, now down to 3-5x/week), and the reason for the weight gain was that, plus eating like a P-I-G pig!!

How are you doing?
This is a great sign but yesterday>today passed his home tests but failed. I have to say his case is rare so this is a good sign if you used the first void of the day.

Exercise is great but you hit it on the head, you should stop a few days before the test but you can't.

Water on the days before the test day is pretty useless. Cranberry juice doesn't help much either.

Different test brand, good idea. The B12 is horrible. Color doesn't matter much but if you want color it is B-2 not B-12! I am not sure how much creatine fish has. It should be beef. Go eat cow.

Thanks JB. B-2, huh? I'll take a multi instead because I notice that does add color. FYI, I bought the tests on two different occasions at two different stores (different chains, even). But I would like to try a different brand. I can delay until late next week and might do so just to be safe ... that would put me at 18 days clean.
