My fiancee and I did cocaine Wednesday night/Thursday morning. We are suppose to take a physical today (Tuesday) for life-insurance. If we are positive they won't insure us. How long does it take to get out of your system? Should we rescuedule? (We know drugs are bad)

It depends on what kind of test they give your really. Cocaine can show up in a urine test for about 1-5 days (these numbers vary depending on where you get your research info..probably best to go with the largest just for certaintly). If they take a hair follicle test it can test positive up to 90 days later. Blood tests are the other way, but they are generally only done when a crime is involved.
I hope this has been a wake-up call for you. It's not just insurance companies that are doing this. The fact is that it is difficult to have any kind of decent job these days that does not include random drug testing, the percentage of companies that require it is getting high indeed..and with good reason. So, think carefully before you do this again! Hope this helped.

I agree that smoking or drinking while pregnant is wrong, but no, we can't enforce laws to prevent pregnant women from doing those things. First of all, in many countries women are even advised by their OBs to have a glass of wine a night. I personally wouldn't take that chance, but the reality is these countries don't show a higher incidence of FAS than the U.S. where it's completely discouraged. During the 70's pregnant women smoked freely with little knowledge of the possible negative effects on their babies. Some babies were born small and with respiratory conditions and that's why it's not good, but when you consider that millions of women did this (and it's still more common in other countries), the number of babies effected is relatively small. As a mother I say a woman should do everything to try to guarantee the health of her baby. As an American citizen, I know it's not my right to tell another woman what to do with her own body. If cigarettes and alcohol are legal for everyone, we don't get to limit certain groups of people. That's not the way the Constitution works.

Reschedule, definitely. Tell them something else came up. That's good that you know drugs are bad so don't do them again. It would show up for at least a month.

IF you used it once...then that would count as light usage. Standard detection results are 48-72 hours. Generally it lasts in your system for 3 days, habitual users have traces in thier system for longer.

Tsk, tsk, I believe it takes about 48 - 72 hours to get all out of your system. I think you should reschedule.

If you know drugs are bad, why do you do them?
