to drink an hour before appt or do you have to go in, drink it then wait the hour? A couple of people that I have spoken to were given the drink to take before their appt. But my doc has us come in, drink, and wait.
My m/w scheduled it around my monthly check-in, so I went in to the lab and drank, went uptstairs for my check-in, and about 15 minutes after I was done, it was time to draw the sample to test, so then I just got to go home after they quickly did that.
I am getting it there. THankfully they are doing it the same day as my appointment so I drink it before the appointment and then have my appointment before the draw so I shouldn't have to sit in the lab too long.
Drink in office, wait, appointment then blood draw. I asked to take it with me and she said she would prefer me to drink it there. Seems like I am doing mine late, it will be at my 28 week appointment.
Re: Are you getting sugar drink beforehand
Dr gave mine to me at my last appt. with the instructions. I am to write down exactly what time I get done with the last of it.
I have heard them do it both ways though.
