Try not to fret yet. You will probably pass the 3 hour. Easier said than done, I know. I am waiting on results from the 1 hour as well and am kinda assuming that I will pass since I did with my first. Your post is making me more nervous now.
Found out Monday, I failed the one hour by a few points. Doing the three hour tomorrow morning... My friend advised no carbs or sugar the day before and eat lots if protein. I will let you know if it worked for me!
I know it's an important medical test and all, but this stupid test seems like some kind of sick lottery. "Hunger Games, The GD Edition." Except instead of fighting to the death you have to eat healthy shit for the next 3 months.
I just found out today that I more than likely failed the 3-hour. The results came in but my doctor hadn't looked yet. My nurse said in her opinion, I failed. Hoping I'll hear for sure tomorrow. I didnt have GD with DD.
I had my 3 hour on Monday and haven't heard anything yet. I'm flying to New Orleans for 6 days tomorrow and there is NO WAY I'm not indulging on their cuisine.
I may deny all incoming phone calls from my doctor so ignorance is bliss while I'm in NOLA.

I didn't pass the 1hour and was really upset about it too. But fortunately passed the 3 hour. I didn't eat any sweets for a few days leading up to the 3 hour. I can't say for sure if it contributed to the results but I think it's worth a try for anyone going back for the 3 hour. Best of luck everyone!
I failed my 1 hr. I totally freaked. I went the route of limited carbs and sugars the day before my 3 hr. My base draw was low. I did spike high on my first 1 hr reading but my numbers dropped crazy over the next couple hours of draws. Guess I process sugars slow. Good Luck ladies!!!
I failed my 1 hr test this morning as well as found out my iron was low. Since my 3 hr test wasn't scheduled for 2 weeks, I'm assuming they aren't exptremelly worried about it. Here's hoping I'm just a little slow at processing the sugars and everything turns out fine.
I just got off the phone and I failed mine as well. Monday will be my 3 hour. Have I mentioned how much I hate needles? Ugh. I knew I had a chance I could fail but I didn't think I would be this upset about it. I went to the er Fri with crazy cramps & bleeding. My Dr said after ruling out preterm labor that some women with GD complain of this and she wanted to see my test results asap. Ugh. FML! Bleeding has stopped, they don't think it was related to the cramping I had. I was told in a very nice way that maybe it is time to slow it down in the bedroom.
...But she said just in her opinion I passed because otherwise they'd basically send a SWAT team to contact me for a 3 hour if I failed.
This. I got a voicemail yesterday saying my bloodwork showed positive for anemia, but she never mentioned anything about GD. I have a tendency to be a little annal, so I'd really like to hear someone say the word 'negative'. I'll be asking at my appointment this Thursday and just tippy toeing around naughty foods until then (mostly because I am too lazy to call and the office doesn't do extremely well with over the phone info). Good luck ladies!
Not that it's a good thing people have failed this test, but it definitely makes me feel a little better that I am not the only one. I also have extremely low white blood count and red blood count. Going in on Monday for 3 hr and starting new meds to help my blood with iron. Yuck
I failed mine and also need to get on an iron supplement. 3 hour is tomorrow. My doctor was shocked I failed my one hour and have not had GD with my other 3 so I am hoping it was a fluke:)
Re: Failed the 1hour
I haven't heard anything so I asked my doctor yesterday if I failed or passed. She said it wasn't written in my chart & she'd have someone call me.
But she said just in her opinion I passed because otherwise they'd basically send a SWAT team to contact me for a 3 hour if I failed.
Welcome to the July board @birdymamma
ETA: Maybe all negative words such as "Don't" should be omitted from vocabulary.
Just cause someone said not to say it which frustrates me more than saying it...failed, failed, failed... :P
