I did one after my initial appointment because of my history of high blood pressure.
I did it on a Sunday when I didn't have to leave the house. I used a stryofoam cooler with ice instead of putting it in the fridge because that grossed me out.

I have to do them all the time (24 hr urine cortisol), due to my (remission) Cushings Disease...if they suspect anything endocrinological may be an issue they will order the test - i.e. G.D., etc. I would not get to worrying just yet and don't go and google anything (I should take my own advise)....the use the 24 hr urine for a lot of things.
I had to do it in my last pregnancy when the doctor started to suspect pre-eclampsia. It confirmed my kidneys were shutting down (from the lack of urine I put out) and they immediately put me in the hospital to deliver my son.
3 IUI's and 2 IVF's later- Brady arrived. Born at 36 weeks after PUPPS and pre-e/HELLP.
IUI- BFN IVF #1 -BFP! Allie is our 2nd IVF baby. Born at 36 1/2 weeks after pre-e again
I had to do one because I have high blood pressure. My doc said it was to create a baseline to go off of in the future. I also was just put on BP meds to help. Hopefully the meds will keep everything in check and I wont have to do anymore testing. If not, I am sure I will have to do it again in the future.

Is your BP higher than normal?
