So I drank the lovely orange drink, went to dr office and a nurse was about to draw blood apologizes bc they might have to re-do in a couple of days bc I am 23 wks 6 days. My dr threw a fit yesterday bc they had drawn someone at that timeframe and it is suppose to be after 24 weeks she said and was hoping he wouldn't do the same for me. They still did the draw and his pa thinks it will be fine but damn I don't want to do that again if possible!!!

That is so annoying. I'm glad they went ahead with the draw and I hope your doctor accepts it.

are you allowed to drink water (like a chaser) after the drink? i don't know why i am focusing on this stupid point. but it would make me feel better. i go in at 3.

My doctor was very open about the drink, eating & drinking prior which they allowed etc. I had a glass of water knowing that I had pee in a cup when I got there too. It wasn't horrible tasting, just so sugary and knowing that I might have to do it again (and pay for it?!?) irks me to no end.

oh hell no!! if it was their screw up, you should not pay for it again. my doc office messed up some labwork and there was no way i was paying to have it redrawn. i would fight that.

DH is was very pissed. He will definitely be making some phone calls if this is the case (and if I can't get it done for free the second time) and let his "upper management" tone work LOL.

GOOD LUCK ALZI
