Has anyone scheduled/done their glucose test yet?

KellyAnn911 · August 2011

At my monthly appt on friday I got a lab order for my glucose test. I knew this was coming but didn't quite realize that it was that time already. I have it scheduled for 9/7. I hope I pass.

If you have yours scheduled, when is it?

Qmommy · August 2011

I dont have to schedule it. I just go to the lab when I'm ready. My OB said to go around 26 weeks so that's what I'll do.

bellafirenze · August 2011

Yup. Mine is Wednesday!! *gulp*
I hope I pass, I will not handle the diet well LOL

mrsfowler1016 · August 2011

Is it weird that my Dr hasn't even mentioned this? I just went a couple of days ago for my monthly appointment and he didn't say anything.

Mye · August 2011

I did it already. So far so good.

Jessie888 · August 2011

yep...mine is schedule for 9/7 too!

DaisyKD · August 2011

I did mine last Monday, it wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting it to be. I haven't heard anything so I'm hoping that means I passed.

SBattert · August 2011

I had mine on Friday and it was no big deal. I'm 24 weeks along. I was in the office for a total of about 2.5 hours. I went in a little nauseous from the fasting. I'm not an easy needle stick so they were only able to draw when I arrived and they had to do finger pricks after one and two hours. My doctor did my regular 4 week exam while I was there. Since they did the finger pricks, I'm pretty sure I passed. After one hour I was up to 106, which is low for the test and then after 2 hours I was down to 89. I'll get the official results tomorrow, though. The glucola drink wasn't bad at all. I was able to drink it farily easily and it remedied my nausea. I read a whole book while in the office, so be sure to take something with you.

Good luck!!

mine is scheduled for my 28 week appt on 9/16

ETA: they're supposed to give me all the details at my appt this week.

Julia_JJ · August 2011

I have the drink for mine - I'll drink it an hour before my 28 week on September 15th, and then show up for an ultrasound and blood draw (the ultrasounds is because of hypertension).

PandaMom06 · August 2011

Yes had and failed the 1 hour.

stephers_7 · August 2011

I have my next checkup on the 30th, so I'm sure she'll mention when I need to schedule it.

melismarie · August 2011

I had to do one at my 12 week appointment. Diabetes run in both of our families so I had to do one then and another at my 24 week appointment. My results were 64 and I believe my cutoff was 150. I was told its low but its not anywhere near diabetes level so i'll take it!

alexvause · August 2011

I did my one hour at 20w and passed. I have to do another one hour at 28 w

LadyGolfer523 · August 2011

9/30 here.

NNGnome · August 2011

I had mine of Friday, it was OK, although the drink did make me feel sick, I drank it OK though, now I am just anxiously waiting for the results next week.. diabetes runs in my family so I am worried, but there's nothing to do but wait.

ZeusLBA · August 2011

I have my drink and it's scheduled for August 30th!

Muffin0 · August 2011

Mine is on the 8th of September I believe.

michelle142 · August 2011

Mine is scheduled for this Friday.

I'm hoping I pass the 1hour, but I know tons of women fail the 1hr and pass the 3hr without any problems, so I'm trying not to worry about it too much.

My doc mentioned the glucose test at the A/S but not since then. But at my last appt he was the only doc working (there are 3 of them at the hospital I go to) and had women in labor so I think he had a lot of other stuff on his mind I'm probably going to call my doc office this week and ask them.

katelynssweet · August 2011

Mine is scheduled for 9/2.

No it's not odd, seeing from your timeline you are only 22 weeks - they usually don't do it till about 27-30 weeks.

I have mine schedule for 9/2 and am praying that I pass!!

katyberry · August 2011

I'm supposed to go sometime between week 24 & 28... gotta pick up the order at the doctor's office and go sometime in the next 3 weeks. Yay!

TauntyCupcake · August 2011

Mine is Friday, September 9. I hope it's not as bad as everyone makes it seem. I'm a FTM and don't know what to expect. Tongue Tied

GoldenPeaches · August 2011

Mine is scheduled as part of my 28 week appointment on 9/14.

Bookwormyone · August 2011

I have to go in and get mine done the week of the 15th. Hopefully all will go well. Good luck with yours!

babyzep · August 2011

Mine is scheduled for next Monday the 29th. I'm not looking forward to it only because I don't want to sit there for two hours!!!

OurJellybean · August 2011

mine is scheduled for Sept. 1 and im paranoid lol

tessylynn6 · August 2011

mine is this coming friday!

getnmarried910 · August 2011

My doctor will give me my lab order at my 24 week appointment, which is September 6. I just have to get it done before my next appointment at the out-patient center at the hospital. I can go at my convenience, no appointment necessary.

UAbride31007 · August 2011

My OB gave me the drink at my appt on Wed. Mine's scheduled for 9/14.

robynlynn83 · August 2011

Mine was last Monday and I passed. So far two pregnancies with GD, two without

Maple Leaf Forever · August 2011

My dr. just said to go to the lab anytime during the first week of September to have it done. I also have to get an antibody level done as I am Rh- and have a Rhogam shot scheduled for Sept 15 but I have already had one due to spotting in week 13.

jhalula · August 2011

My dr. office scheduled mine at my last appointment. Going on 9/12 for the 3 hour test and have to be at the hospital by 6:45, hoping that they are on schedule because I have an appointment at my dr. at 10:45. They will also be testing my TSH levels as they were a little low (I was told this normal in pregnancy) but since I have a family history they want to test it as well. Am I the only one that thinks making a pregnant woman fast for at least 10 hours is ridiculous?!?

KMZ1983 · August 2011

My doctor tests all women and mine is actually 9/7 as well!

HL1626 · August 2011

Mine is schedule for my 26 week appt on Sept 9th. I actually need to call my drs office to see if I can go in an hr before my appt and do the test because DD2 has preschool in the afternoon and I don't want her to be late.

rubyjem00 · August 2011

My was last week - at my 24 week appointment. I passed which was a bit of a surprise. But my tests did reveal that I have an iron deficiency so now I have to take an iron supplement.

kyrastapp · August 2011

I recieved my lab order last week from my OB and she said go in and take it before my next visit. So sometime in the next few weeks I just drop by the hospital drink that crap and you know the rest lol!
