Okay, so this a "couple day compilation." But it explains the rest of the crap with the GTT test up until now...
My midwife called me today (June 23rd)... she wants me to redo the test. Only to tell them that I will only fast 8 hours. She wants the hard numbers. And I suggested that I would be more than willing to check my sugars with a meter for a few days, and she just kept telling me I should do the jelly bean test at the hospital. Still terrified, I called the OB's office, to tell them this and to schedule it, and they told me there is no way. The only way they will do the test is with at least 12 hours of fasting. So now what?
Okay, so I called my midwife this morning (June 24th), crying my eyes out because I'm so afraid of going through all that again. She calmed me down and told me to call the hospital and ask them for the results on the three draws they DID get before I t...hrew up. She said that in order to actually fail the test, you have to fail 2 of 4 of the draws. She said that if my numbers on the first three were okay, she won't push me to retest. SOOO I called the OB's office. They were more than happy to give me the numbers, but they fought me on scheduling a retest. They agreed to allow me to fast for only 8 hours, and to use the jelly beans, but they HAVE to discard the results from the first one and I HAVE to retest ASAP. Even with me telling them I'm not doing it, they still scheduled me for an appointment monday morning. The stupidest thing is that my numbers for the first 3 draws were beyond passing. SO I don't see why they can't just accept that and not make me redo the whole stressful, terrifying ordeal.... :/ I called my midwife with the results, and she told me that I should talk to my OB and let her know that I don't want to do it. So I guess that's what I have to do...
