I got my results back, but haven't heard from the dr. I failed the 1 hr draw again (by about 20 pts) but was well under for the fasting and 2 and 3 hr draws. Hoping she'll say I passed and not make me retake it.
The gentleman who pulled my blood for the original 1 hr test was shocked by my bruise a week later. I pointed out I'm see thru pale which makes it easier to find the vein but shows all bruises. He didn't find it funny... I'm going to have an epic bruise from the 4 draws all in my left elbow in a few days. Almost worth it!
I just took my three hour and should know by wednesday if I passed or not. Holy hell I hope I never have to do that again! I'm going to nap off the sugar high headache and food coma I put myself in from eating all of the food!
I didn't know the drink was a migraine trigger; I get migraines and now with this headache I'm slightly worried!
They must have rushed my results because I got them and I passed! I passed all three hours. My biggest value was 117; my fasting sugar was 65 which showed my hypoglycemia well!
I passed the 1 hour! After reading what everyone was saying, I thought for sure my breakfast of egg whites was going to do me in, but I passed with a 119 and I needed a 135. I was seriously sweating it for a while there, since they were supposed to call on Friday and didn't. Good luck to everyone still waiting on results!
Passed the 1 hour and have low iron, just like last time. But I finally got to see the results of the poll! There should have been a SS option to show me the results sooner

FINALLY got a call back from the nurse today after I left a message. I took my 3 hour last Tuesday and I PASSED! I'm so glad they said everything was normal. I hope that I never ever have to drink that again. It was fruit punch so it tasted like Hawaiian Punch on crack.

Got the call I failed my 1 hour:( got a 168 and needed under 140. now I have the 3 hour scheduled for Friday but the EARLIEST they could get me in was 9:45...soooo basically the whole day will be a wash and I won't have eaten for like 900 hours-__-
But I have a question- the nurse drew my blood for the "one hour" after 35/40 minutes at most....wouldn't you think that would give off a false positive? My dr was NOT pleased when I told her about that but is still making me do the 3 hour:( I have all the sadz today.
mrsmonogrammed, I would definitely think that could give a false positive! The nurses at the lab I went to had basically kitchen timers set for an hour and didn't call you until it rang each time.

Right? And I thought it felt a little early but didn't say anything and now I'm kicking myself. You better believe that I'll be setting an alarm on my phone for every hour of the 3 hour one!! Ugh-__-
Apparently I passed the 3 hour but 2 of my values were close to the cutoff. The midwife has to call back with official agreement from the doctor but her plan is for me to do the diet consult and get in at least 20 minutes of brisk walking per day. No official diagnosis, no finger picks, no changes to my birth options.
