I am posting this here just to reassure other women so that they don't have a sleepless night like me.
I started my collection at 11AM yesterday morning and as of this morning my jug was completely full!!! I laid in bed all last night fretting that something must be wrong with me because I was going to fill the jug before 24 hrs was up. I figured that there was no way they would give me a vessel that I could possibly fill. I called my lab when I got up this morning and asked them what I should do. The woman assured me that I was not the first one to do that and that there is a wide range of amts that they see. She said that some people come in with hardly any and some come in with 2 jugs. So, she suggested I come down and get another jug which I did. She said that many people know they have a high output and will ask for 2 jugs at the beginning (I will be doing this if I am ever given the privilege again
).
Right now, I don't know for sure that nothing is wrong with me, but I do know that filling the jug plus some more is not abnormal in and of itself. I know this is a pretty mundane topic, but I hope that it keeps someone else who is a worrywart like me from losing sleep.
