Any WHS girls taken the 3 hour GTT?

I went in on Wednesday for the 3 hour glucose test, and I haven't heard any results.  Mercy didn't tell me anything as I was taking the test and said the doctor's office would call.  It's been 2 days, and the office closed at 2 today.  Is no news good news or does it really take this long to get the results?

Thanks :o)

  • Mercy should have told you the results but their policy is no news is good news. (which is kid of annoying)

    I'll bet you're glad that's over with.  :)

  • Ugh, that stinks.  I took the 3 hour with my first pregnancy and HATED it!  I think the nurse who did my last blood draws and told me I could go, did tell me I passed that day.  Then the doctor's office called the next week and confirmed I passed.  I would just give them a call Monday when they are open and double check.  If you had failed, I'm sure someone would have told you right away.

  • The nurse at Mercy told me she couldn't tell me anything.  They just labeled my vials of blood and told me the doctor would call. 

    I really, really hope no news is good news!  (But that doesn't mean I won't have to go through the whole thing again in my 2nd trimester...I would just be glad to save my fingers from being poked 4x a day from now until then!)

  • I took (and failed-lol) the 3 hour and I got a phone call from WHS the next day to set up my appointment with the GD people.  The people at Mercy told me that they don't do anything but collect the specimen(s) and send them to the lab- they send results to WHS.  I would guess it's like a pap test- if you don't hear good for you!!!
