Is there a time of year that catchment is most valuable?

Used to be 31 October in Hertfordshire. ie the address you have on 31 October the year prior to starting is the one that they use,

Can most females pee accurately enough to use a coke bottle for collection?

I couldn't.

Use a ShePee?! :eek:

If it were me, I'd write the time the collection started and finished on the bottle, just in case it was still useful.
Would serve them right if they had to send you two more though

I am guessing you might be narrowing it down in you mind what they are testing for? . The testing I got between the two times could be markedly different depending in when from what I remember. Also, bit of an odd week to test as some things that might impact aren't impacting. Because my weekend routine is so different I'd rather like the 24 hours to cover both as best as possible, if they are only going to do once but really, don't know if in humans they do what we used to do which is repeat this one three times.......because we thought of this as good practise because its such a variable. I checked with DH, he says he does n't remember this being done before, and certainly not repeatedly, so I think maybe practise in human medicine might be different.

Its on my list of questions anyway.

Funnel. On other occasions I have kept a measuring jug on the bathroom.

I am guessing that you are overestimating my intelligence!

I was thinking very simply that it would give them as much info as possible. And e.g. if they were looking to average something out over 24 hours, they might be able to divide by 18 hours instead
Even if you're peeing like the proverbial racehorse, I'd guess that 2.5 L would cover a fair proportion of 24 hours? Probably most important to 'catch' the start of the day, as that's when things are less dilute.

Lol, in this case ( presuming humans are not freakier than I know them to be) its important to catch mornings because levels produced are highest then. .

I pm'd you because I imagined you worrying while there is no need to.

No Leon here people...just a huge amount of piddle.

Thanks lir - very thoughtful of you.
I can keep my level of concern for you where it normally is

Does taking it easy count as a job?

This is nesting time. No time for resting. Time to dry clean the curtains, paint th entire house, bleach the skirting boards, polish the lightbulbs and steam clean all the spice jars ready for NDBaby!

Mid Stream Morning Urines are what they're most interested in as urine productions' suppressed while sleeping, meaning it's very conentrated. If they can't find what they're looking for in that, I doubt they ever will.
I used to work in a path lab, checking samples as unsavoury as the one NIkkster did, if not worse.:eek:

I guess I could sterilise a Kilner ( which autocorrect wants to call Kilmer) but tbh am reluctant to part with one.

Auto correct changed Brit to Be it and Brits to Brita earlier today. There are over 60 million of us and we're behind a water filter in the word popularity stakes.
