How much to give?

[snags]

Got a Health Check appointment with a new GP this afternoon. When I made the appointment they provided me with a plastic bottle for a urine sample. How much do they want? A pipette full or should I be more generous and fill it right up? I don't want them to think I didn't really try ;-p

[rowanwitch]

half fill it... so they can put the dipstick in without bending it

Have you got a jerry can handy?

[Baldric]

Depends, is it a 2ltr bottle????

[Canary42]

Go on, fill it up - you know you want to.

[ummmm]

3/4 full and try not to pee all over your hands.

[rowanwitch]

probably a good idea to take poo and semen samples as well saves wasting tim e when you get there

a pint

and have you time to eat a lot of beetroot?

Find a pregnant person and ask them to pee in the bottle for you, that should freak your doctor out.

Or a dog....that would be fun..

The bottle is approx. an inch in diameter and 3 inches high. I've taken the middle ground and gone for 50% full.

Chuck, sadly I couldn't catch the cat.

Thanks for your answers.

Thats the right amount ... honest....really.... now have they given you a blue lidded pot with a little spoon inside

true story ..................... a woman went to her gp with a urine sample in a irn bru bottle ( half full ) said she didnt have anything else suitable in the house !!!!!!!!

Had samples arrive in whisky 1/4s tizer bottles, jam jars not even properly washed out, and a tumbler with some cling film on top
