My doctor suggested a GGT test some time ago, and now they're asking for it again in my current pregnancy. I was wondering if it's common or safe to have a GGT test done twice during pregnancy. Is it routine for some conditions?
According to my pregnancy trackers, repeating liver enzymes or glucose tests (GTT) is standard protocol if you have certain risk factors like family history or high BP. It is totally safe and help doctors keep a close track of your health.
I can't give medical advice, but I personally had my sugar tolerance test (GTT) done twice during my pregnancy. The first was in my early weeks due to my BMI, and the second was around the 26th week as part of routine screening. It's quite common if the doctor suggests it.
Haan behan, bilkul karwa sakte hain, isme darna kya hai na. Agar doctor ko lagta hai ki sugar check karni hai ya liver function dekhna hai, toh do baar kya teen baar bhi test hota hai. Doctor ki baat mano bas.
Yes, it can absolutely be done twice if your doctor recommends it for monitoring. I had to manage my busy office calendar to fit in both the tests, but it's essential for tracking gestational diabetes or liver health. Just get it done as advised.
It is completely normal to have it done twice to ensure everything is fine with your sugar or liver levels. I had a very smooth pregnancy and normal delivery, and my doctor repeated a few tests just to be double-safe.
