I enjoyed the polycose test.
The drink was yummy and I was sitting next to a really sweet elderly man in the waiting room. He was telling me all about his grandkids and his "young buck" of a neighbour who plays his "rock and roll" music at 3am!!
But it's a really simple test. Just takes a little time.
Make sure you take a snack to eat for right after the test. I was really light headed and woozy by the end of it and I had a 10 minute walk home to do. I was quite giddy and had black spots in front of my eyes by the time I made it home.
Its not always done as routine but is a good idea to do it. My midwife with kobe did not do it, we talked about it and she made it sound like it wasnt really necessary so we decided not to then the minute i walked into the hospital in prem labour the doctor new I was way to big and tested me for GD. There had been no other symptoms at all, he measured normal at scans, no odd POAS tests nothing but he was 7lb 4oz 6 weeks prem so had obviously done some major growing since the last scan.
With Addison i had to have the test earlier which came back positive and so i had to do the long test which also confirmed gd and then the fun began.
