Oh no! Had that with my last pregnancy. Ended up passing the 3 hour, hoping you have the same! Take a good book with!

They usually won't post the results online until you have talked to the doctor or nurse, so you don't look before they see it and start freaking out before they have a chance to review it.

Glucose you know.
The antibody screen I imagine they are retesting the RH factor or possibly making sure that you do not have further antibodies if you were to get a transfusion, it has to match correctly. Or it could be something totally different like a chicken pox antibody or hep b. That is a really vague test description.

The CBC is where there is probably too much information to be helpful. What you really need to know are RBC Red blood cell count, WBC white blood cell count (too many can indicate an infection), and Hemoglobin which is the red blood cell level if you need a transfusion this is the number that they would be looking at, and I suppose hematocrit which is cell pack volume. The rest are other types of cells and would flag if they were to high or too low.

Also Poo for not passing the test! I hope your three hour goes better.

And to add to everyone else's comments, the glucose being off is better than the rest of that being off...especially the antibody 185 is high, but not so high they send you right to jail, no passing go, no collecting $200. LOL I hear a lot of people pass the 3 hour after failing the 1 hour so I hope that is you. If not, you can keep me company! I have a great support group on facebook if you need it. Good Luck!

Thanks, all! I'm feeling good about the appt tomorrow! I had some fish tonight so a good, healthy.. low sugar, low carb meal. Bring on the test!

GL today, Adri! What time is your appt?

Have to be there at 8am. I'm already STARVING! LOL!!! I'm sure I'll be lurking all over PO while I have the couple hour wait. hehe

I would be starving too.. some days I wake up hungry and some I don't lol But if I couldn't eat breakfast I'd be so hungry. So you can't eat until after those 3 hours?

Woohoo! They have wifi so I'm connected through my computer and not having to fight my phone.

No food after midnight.. so yeah, I'm starving! I usually have a muffin with cheese (or two ) but nothing since dinner last night.. My tummy is already growling. lol.. Nothing till after the test!

I am not looking forward to my glucose test 8:30 to 10:30 I guess.

So have you already drank the drink?

I drank it from 808 - 810. OMG it was SUPER icky sweet and disgusting!!!!!!!

They put me in a cool little room and I have my own chairs and can sprawl out. hehe.. Not too bad!
