When I was at my parents' house, my mom took me to a nearby lab for the oral glucose tolerance test. You have to drink a very sweet glucose drink and they take your blood after a few hours.
I know all these tests can feel stressful after an IVF journey, but this is a very routine test. The sugar drink is a bit hard to gulp down, but you can do it easily.
Please make sure not to skip this test as gestational diabetes needs to be caught early. It is very safe and important for your baby's health, so schedule it as advised by your doctor.
Your gynac will prescribe a glucose challenge test around 24-28 weeks. Make sure to get it done on time along with your regular thyroid follow-up blood tests.
Lab wale test karenge beta, khali pet jaana hota hai sometimes. Just follow whatever instructions the laboratory gives you and don't eat heavy sweets the night before.
