oh bum bum bum going for blood test this morn and i forgot to fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eleanorsmum]

Am on day 5 of cycle and have to have blood test today to see if i'm ovulating. I just got the sheet out and read that they will check my glucose level and i was supposed to be fasting! I've just finished a bowl of museli! what should i do? will it affect any of the other factors they are testing for? oh feel so stupid have waited for this testing for so long (TTC no2 for 2years!) advice please...............

It'll only affect the glucose test, the others will all be fine - don't worry. They could just do a random glucose instead and a fasting one some other time if it's really necessary. HTH

should i tell them?

yes as it'll affect the glucose rsult but don't let them put off all the tests as the glucose result is the least important. I never even had a glucose level done when I was going through all these tests.

You must tell them you've eaten so they don't do the glucose test.

As liath correctly states the other blood tests won't be affected. In this regard if they are testing levels of LH and FSH ensure that these two levels are compared and not just looked at as separate items.

ok thanks! am about to leave, session opens at 8.30 and it's stay and wait! taking lots to do for dd age 3!
