@lacy2 I have to do urine samples at times and I go to the lab ahead of time, or get a container when I happen to be at the lab, and then use it at home. It's so much easier than having to get a specimen there. I always have one of their containers here, for when I might need to use it.

@contentandwell, I also have to do reg. urine tests and appreciate your tip of asking for the test sample vials ahead of time or at the time of the lab visit. So much more convenient and also easier to ensure that at home, the patient won't be concerned about enough output. I know it doesn't take much urine but feel a bit anxious about being able to carry out the test successfully sometimes in the lab and thus drink more water than usual leading up to the scheduled test.
