I have my test next Tuesday (22)nd. They never told me I couldn't eat. I also have to get blood work and a shot because I'm a negative blood type n my fiance us positive n my test is at 922. Am
So I had my test done yesterday. Monday I last ate at 6pm n I didnt get to the doctors til 1230 the next day. Got my first blood drawn at 1250 then 150 then 250. Thought I was gona die omg. I was so hungry
So im sat here in outpatients had the drink which was horrible! Only an hour an twenty mins till next blood test! Hopin they can find a vein as it took them 15mins the first time
I had mine at 28 weeks. They sent me home with the little orange bottle. And the bottle specifically said : Do not eat 12 hours before. Fast for the full 12 hours. But my doctor stuck a sticker on it that said : Eat your normal diet. Drink the liquid within five minutes. Show up to the lab 45 minutes after drinking the liquid. So I showed up, and she literally was done drawing my blood in 15 seconds.. But my friend got hers done, she didn't get to eat at all the day before, and she had to drink the liquid there, draw her blood once she got there, half hour after, and an hour after, and two hours after.
I had mine like 2wks ago. The drink really isn't as bad as u think. But it does have a tendency to make u feel nauseous and vomiting is another side effect. I couldn't eat or drink anything for 12hrs before my appt and it totally sucked. I felt like I was going to pass out when they took my blood sample. My advice is definitely take some snacks with u to eat after the test.
yeah i had mine today! was told to fast for 12 hours before so i did! another woman went there and said she had drunk a cup of tea like 9 hours earlier so they sent her home and said she had to go back another day! the drink i thought was horrible and made me feel really sick! i took with me a banana to eat as soon as i had finished
