I started my 24 hour urine test at 8:10 this morning. I'm not to the 1/2 way point yet, and the container is already 1/2 full. Can I buy another container at CVS? I'm assuming stopping once it is full isn't an option, lol.
Try to get another container. The lady in the lab said some people have even washed out 2 liter bottles and used those.... they will not count it if you do not use a full 24 hours.
I used a 1 gallon pitcher and brought it in and they poured it into another container- then threw it out! Definately collect all the urine for a full 24 hours.

WTH?! I started my 24 urine this morning as well and I have only peed a total of 12 oz so far...its far less than 1/4 full. . Is not the amount that matters though, right? Or should I be worried now..

I think I responded to you on 3rd tri I'm sure it's fine, the reason behind doing a 24 hour urine is to check for protein in your urine over long term... if your pee is more concentrated then it could give you a higher protein level. Since mine is so... diluted it could give a low protein level. The amount you pee doesn't matter!
Re: 24 hour urine... container not big enough!
