I had my GTT today and couldnt believe how nice the drink was!! So much better than the green one I remember - this one I had today tasted just like lemonade. I was so thirsty after having fasted since the night before I could have drank 3 ottles of the stuff :D
Anyone not like the drink or have a bad reaction?
I loved taste of it LOL
So many people had said ohh its yuck and u will want to be sick bit i thought it was great!!
in a way looking forward to test this preg!!
fingers grosses GCT is normal
ubba, im like you. i LOVED the drink! and yes it tasted exactly like lemonade :)
Unfortunately for me i ended up having GD - but still i enjoyed the drink and loved it again when i had to do my repeat test after DD was 6 weeks :D - i am a very sweet tooth person tho!
Nup! I thought it was disgusting! I'm not a huge fan of sugar myself, & to me it was pretty much just a straight sugar syrup. I had to force it in & hold it in...wasn't fun!
I didnt mind it but have to say I had a bad reaction afterwards, when I got home I was dizzie and feeling sick! havent had that b4 but I dont have GD so that is good
I was like krissie! I loved the taste of it, but i looove my sweet stuff!:p but yeah, i got dizzy and felt quite ill afterwards.....no gd though! good luck! x
Yep I loved it! I was expecting a terrible gross drink, and it was lovely to me hehe
Did get the sugar rush, dizziness and a bit sick, afterwards though. No gd here either :)
I liked it. I thought it tasted like lemonade too
I think the drink has gotten better. When I had it the first time it was so so feral and disgusting. Then when I had it the next time it actually was okay, yeah a bit like flat lemonade for me.
GL with the results. Fingers crossed for no GD!!
I thought i was the only one that loved it!! Good to hear Im not alone!
Looks like I'm the only one that hated it!! lol
i thought it was disgusting too and it was a huge effort to drink it! yuk! lol
first time i spewed and had to go again for the first test i think it was because it was cold next time i done it it was room temp not so bad still tasted yuck but sweet things didnt agree with me the whole time i was pg
I liked the taste of it, but hated the strong after taste!
i didnt mind the drink either :redface:
I wouldn't say I loved it, but I didn't hate it either. It was fairly pleasant to drink really, although I did start feeling a bit nauseus not long after thanks to not having any other food in my tummy and not being able to eat or drink anything for an hour until the blood test. No GD for me either, thankfully.
I did mine today too :D
I didn't mind the after taste but my one was green and tasted like straight Lime Cordial with bubbles. I reckon I have a pretty good sweet tooth but that was too much for me. I felt so sick. PLus it gave me nasty heart brun.
My little Beanie on the other hand absolutely LOVED IT you should have seen my tummy jumping around :lol:
Nae x
it was ok at first but towards the end of the bottle I had to force it down! i think it was mostly from trying to drink so much in such a short timeframe. By the time I got my bloods taken though I was feeling quite sick and dizzy...was fine after they took the blood though!
I thought it was fine but I did get a horrid headache and sugar crash afterwards - had a sleep for a few hours and drank heaps of water trying to get rid of the headache! The kiddo loved the sugar rush I think - jumped and pushed and wiggled like mad not long after I drank it! No GD for me which is great.
I LOVED it! lol I actually asked for another one :redface: *I was thirsty! lol*
Every told me it was horrible ...guess we got the good stuff ;)
I loved the drink and ended up craving it for the rest of my pregnancy. Lemonaid just wouldn't cure the craving.
Well, that drink that I so loved has given me a glucose reading of 7.9 grrrr. Normal range being 4-8.
Bugger :( Do you have to do the 2 hr GCT now?:
The midwife didnt say I needed to, just that I cant have any sugar or refined foods - and I was really looking forward to going to the pancake parlour for my birthday on Saturday night....
Ahh ok - well thats a good thing! (sort of!) as for the pancake parlour - again, Bugger :doh::
:
I did too but i had just brushed my teeth prior to arriving at pathology place. BAD IDEA! :rolleyes:
i didnt think it was too bad, but halfway through it started to get a bit sweet and coz she made me drink it so fast it made me feel a little icky (plus i hadnt eaten :redface:) i dont know if i had a bad reaction to it but that night had a bit of a belly ache and the runs:redface: but other than that everything was ok and my test came back normal :)
