Ok I pee in a cup every time I go to the dr...obviously. this morning I get a call that says on the 13th my opiate level…

It’s likely poppy seeds.

It's definitely the poppy seeds from the bagel.

@shayybear that high tho?

@kerstie14 If you eat enough, yes.

I know someone who would buy a poppyseed bagel every day and keep the receipt so when they failed their urine test- they’d have that excuse. He was somehow able to pull that off for years.

Lord have mercy. So I havnt had one in almost a week bc we are moving and I've packed my toaster, should my levels be down or gone by now? I'm going in for a repeat today that I demanded.

@kerstie14 should be lower, don't know about gone though. Not too educated on drug tests.

@akita_mommy why did I not know this? Is it ok that I eat everything bagles while pregnant?

@incognit0 nobody here to drug me but my kids 😂 but literally I am freaking out.

@kerstie14, maybe since your opiate level is so high, just switch to a different bagel without poppy seeds.

@penelope127 I havnt ate any in a week....we are moving so my toaster is packed.i doubt that me eating those bagles 4 times a week of that caused this. I'm just t re ying to figure out what did

@incognit0 I did

@tinyhumansbitch omg! Lord I hope its went down by now and I'm just not going to eat those anymore if that's what's causing it 😂

@kerstie14, it will if you eat enough of them.

I mean it's not like I was eating a pack a day I literally had maybe 4 a week.

Weird! How come you have to pee in a cup every time? I only do that once or twice with each pregnancy.

I've had 5 babies n have always had to give a urine sample every visit it's how they check for uti and protein.

@sadie.w, That's so weird that some doctors do that and others don't.

I also had someone fail a breathalyzer I think it was because they were chewing a type of gum. Weird things!! Can you imagine going to jail for a “DUI” or under the influence but in all reality you just had a bagel or you were chewing gum!! That’s scary.

I’ve never had a moms opiate levels test that high for poppy seeds (and trust me I myself am obsessed with lemon poppy seed loaf) Id be more inclined to think something else has thrown your test off or human error.

@beakymcspence I just went and took another. Shes calling me with results bc I was freaking out.

👀 interesting

@kerstie14, As I’m sitting here eating lemon poppy seed loaf that my husband brought me lol

@beakymcspence I'm jealous

Ok ladies my test today came back completely negative. So I can breathe lol

Nurse said most likely human error.

I had this happen early in my pregnancy except they said I had alcohol in my system! I MOST CERTAINLY DID NOT consume any alcohol. That was embarrassing. They made me talk to a counselor my husband and I were livid. They believed it to be a false positive it had to have been there is no other possible explanation. I'm still mad about it.

I retested too and there was nothing but still. A few times at the beginning they had the wrong chart for me. I'm wondering if that had something to do with it.

@jessicawashburn16 I bet it was! My nurse said it happens more then we like to think. But I was also very ticked. The last who called me earlier was like your dr knows you and isn't worried about this but still....I couldn't imagine what some of those nurses were saying. So infuriating!

@kerstie14, I’ve never been so curious as to if someone’s pee was clean 😂😂 glad it worked out

@laniejay clean as a whistle as it should be ALWAYS. Swear to God I wanted to strangle those nurses. Lol
