Frustrated!

Ok...

So I had my GD test on Thursday afternoon (3/29). Big deal for me as I am terrified of needles (pass out, panic attack, need Valium).  Doctor said if you don't hear from us, assume everything is fine.

Fast forward to today. I get a voicemail at 5:10 from my doctors office requesting I call back and ask for one of the PA's. Call the office back and the message states the office closes at 5. Tried calling the business office as well without luck.  There is a number for the on call physician but the voicemail didn't sound super urgent so I'm not going to call the on call doc.

Now, I'm freaking out. Did I fail my GD test? Is something else wrong? My next appointment isn't until next week. Why would they call me knowing I can't call back and get through to someone.  Grrr... 

Sorry about the vent...

    SAME thing happened to me exactly one week ago! It completely ruined my night. So, when I called next morning (assuming the worst) I found out I was just slightly anemic and should take an iron supplement. My numbers for the gtt were fine. The point is, it could be nothing so don't let it ruin your night like I did!

    Yes they do usually test your iron with the blood sample from the GD test so that is probably it. Have you been feeling more tired than usual lately??? I know we're pregnant and tired anyway, but they will probably give you a supplement b/c the prenatal does not have enough iron if your lacking it... I would assume they would call you right away if you failed the test b/c they would want you in to take the 3 hr then... and even if you did fail it doesn't mean you will fail the 3 hr one, that happened to me with my 2nd baby!!! good luck :)

    Same thing happened to me last night.  It sounds like they left me a better message though saying it wasn't an emergency and it had to do with my iron.  I have yet to call back, but if something else is wrong try and stay relaxed (easier said than done I know).  You will find out the answer in the morning :)

    Update...

    Called the office first thing this am. Asked to speak with a PA. Was told no one was available and they will call me when they have time (ie could be this morning or could be tonight). I politely asked if my doctors nurse was available. Nope. I couldn't talk to anyone. They all are with patients.  I explained my frustration with the receptionist and she just kept saying there was nothing she could do.

     At this point, I'm beyond frustrated! They get another half hour before I call again and ask to speak with someone. I get that there are other patients to be seen, but I'm a patient too and have now been stressing about this for 12 plus hours.

    I feel bad for whoever has to deal with me now...a hormonal, stressed, frustrated pregnant chick...
