Another Dr. B testing question!

we have our immune/thrombo testing tomorrow morning......are we supposed to fast after midnight or was that only for the pcos bloodwork?

TIA

Re: Another Dr. B testing question!

i didnt fast. actually they take a lot so you should eat so that you dont get lightheaded. are you having both thrombo and immune done at the same time?? i had to do thrombo with bioreference and then half of immune at dr. B's and the rest at quest..

thanks i believe we are doing both at the same time at the office tomorrow. he had us wait until after 1/1 since our insurance changed and he said now it's better as far as the bloodwork goes. he said it will probably be about 15 vials each (me and DH).

from what i remember thrombo at bioreference was about 20 vials (they say it can be 40 if they use the smaller vials, but i told them to do it the quickest way possible so they used the larger ones and it was nearly 20).
the immune panel at Dr. Bs that went to reprosource was about 6 vials.
the one at quest was HLA matching for both DH and I. i think that was only like 3 vials.
good luck!
