  I've done a couple. It isn't bad, just a little inconvenient.

  This exactly.  It's really NBD.  Just pee in the cup (they gave me a large collection container), and pour it in the big jug.  Keep the jug in the fridge, and return it to the lab the next day.

  Did two during my last pregnancy. Not terrible, just annoying! And you need to have your big jug of pee in the fridge! My DH was grossed out!

  I have to do it too for baseline. I can pick any day next week so am choosing a day I don't have to leave the house.

  I've had to do it a couple of times. My only problem was that I filled up the jug and still had 8 hours to go! Had to steal another jug from my MILs office.

  I've done this 6 times. (previous pregnancy and now twice so far this one) it's no biggie. Just make sure you have a big enough jug!

  I had to do it twice- once for a baseline and once at the end of my pregnancy. The most annoying thing was that the jugs my office gave were too small- and they knew it because it came with instructions on what to do if (when) you ran out of room in the jug they gave you...so I had to make sure and have a clean vessel ready for the overflow...

  I've done it 3 times (once this pregnancy, twice last).  It's annoying but otherwise it's not a big deal.  You get a little pan to put on the toilet to pee in, then dump that into the jug.  Keep it refrigerated.  Easy peasy.

  As a Type 1, my OB had me to do this after a pre-conception checkup to get a baseline pre-pregnancy.
