I'm so jealous of all of you who have passed. I was diagnosed with GD at 13 weeks . I'm not going to lie, I still plan to indulge a couple times over the holiday season. As long as I stick to the diet, I can have a couple cheat days here and there.
I just took mine - fx this will be the first 1 hour I've ever passed!
And to the flavors above, I've never been offered anything other than the Orange glucocrush (and this is my 6th one!) The red one sounds better than orange.

Mine is tomorrow. I'm avoiding sweets today and tomorrow and I'm going to eat an eggy breakfast. Been having some unpredictable nausea, so Dr. recommended a proteiny breakfast to help me keep the gluco drink down.
I should hear back by the end of the week if I passed....they also drew blood for my thyroid...gave me a flu shot....and my tdap...and my rhogam shot.....it was a needley pokey visit!
I’ll get results back tomorrow they said. I had the fruit punch one, I didn’t think it was that bad really. I put it in the freezer for about 20 minutes before I drank it to make it extra cold.
Ugggh my test results are usually posted early the morning after my appointment but of course the one time I really want to know, they're not. I don't know why I'm so anxious about it but I woke up at 3:40 this morning and couldn't go back to sleep until I checked
@garykayla seriously though! Usually results are up no later than 7:30am so I just figured I'd have to wait until tomorrow but I just got the email that they're up.
I also passed mine with a 107. She sent a message that my hemoglobin is a tad low so I'm going to take a little iron every other day. I felt fine when I took my test yesterday and the lemon lime wasn't bad. It just gave a bit of heartburn sensation right after I drank it. I still kind of need to watch what I eat though since I have gained a bit more than I should have this time. Oops. I blame the relentless nausea from 5-16 weeks.
I passed as well yay! The Dr also told me im slightly anemic so I’ll be adding a supplement. I’ve been anemic in the past and I don’t eat meat so it’s not that surprising. Weirdly I had my first bought of nausea this morning since around 14 weeks. I really hope this isn’t starting up again!
I'm currently sitting in the waiting room at the lab for my reading in 30 mins. Last pregnancy I failed the 1 hour but passed the 3 hour so I'm hoping that's not the case this time.
@trudytudy@bkbaby18 my b/w came back with slight anemia as well. Just be forewarned that iron will make you constipated, so if you're suffering from that or hemis, proceed cautiously! We talked about it and decided it wasn't worth it just yet to take the iron due to suffering from both Ill just try to up my iron rich foods even more than I already am for now.
But I passed my 1 hour! First time to ever pass it!

I passed my 1 hour yesterday! I was sure I was failing it because the glucose drink made me feel pretty weird, tired and headachy. My hemoglobin was a touch low too, but my doctor said it was expected at this stage of pregnancy and she doesn't want to do anything about it unless it gets worse.
I'll be honest, I feel like I'm ACING pregnancy at this point. I feel like a superhero.
@Eags the last thing I need right now is constipation! I'm taking slow release Fe. I've had good luck with it in the past and I'm taking every other day. Hopefully that is a good balance!
I have my 1 hour tomorrow early afternoon! I'm a little nerovous but also thinking that at this stage there's not much i can do to change the result that much either way. Avoid lots of carbs and sugar today, and tomorrow going to have some eggs and bacon, and 1/2 a whole wheat english muffin with some PB. My appointment isn't until 1 or 1:45 so i'll need to make sure i eat enough that i don't get lightheaded or anything from lack of food right before the blood draw!
and congrats to everyone who has passed since i last checked on this thread!
I failed my 1 hour test and since I had GD with my daughter the doc sent me straight to diabetic counseling! No 3 hour test for me, straight to finger pricks!
So I got my glucometer, and I learn how to use it Tuesday. Of course, I'm playing with it already, and my numbers have all been fine (I do great, if I don't consume a big sugary thing), so I'm hoping I can control this with diet.
Bleah.
Me- 39 (turning 40 in April), TTC for the first time ever (since Jan 2015), low ovarian reserve
Married 3/14/14 to my wonderful wife, but her sperm count is rather low
TTC with frozen donor sperm and science
7 IUIs, 7 BFNs. 2 IVF attempts, both cancelled and converted to IUI, both BFNs. Decided that my tired old ovaries are ready to retire. Next step- reciprocal IVF, using my wife's eggs, my uterus! fresh 5 day transfer (2 embryos) 4/17/17- BFP! Identical twins "due" 1/2/17 (but anticipated arrival sometime December)
Had my glucose test this morning and picked fruit punch--no issues during! I would have logged on while waiting but TB mobile app is being crazy for me now and won't let me post! Anyways, should have results around Sunday!
@auntieraindrop When I looked it up on Patient Portal, the "normal" threshold was 130 for my 27-week test with DS and 135 for my 18-week test this time. Sounds like you are well below cause for concern.
My doctor hasnt called yet but I viewed my results on labcorp's website and failed it ( 163) it also showed that I might be anemic but that's just me interpreting my results so I'll wait for the doctor to call Monday. I failed with DD2 by one point, and passed 3 hour. This time I am nervous failing with such a high number

All done with my three hour. Should hear back on Thursday if I passed. It wasn’t too bad. Just read and browsed facebooks in between sticks.
I passed!!
