I failed my 1 hour & a question
So I failed my 1 hour  Dr said the "marker" is 140 I came in at 150, so I am off for my 3 hour on Thursday - ho hum, I really hope I pass.
Dr also told me I am anaemic (sp) he was more concerned about that than the GD test. I am taking the Iron supplements in addition to my Citracal and he told me to take Colcace, which I am. The Iron tablet made me feel very nauseous, it doesn't say anything on the bottle, but when is best time to take it? If anyone else takes it when do you, am or pm and with a meal or just a snack?
Any advice welcome!

Re: I failed my 1 hour & a question
I couldnt help but to read your post. I am a RN and I give iron to my patients daily. Our pharmacisit always suguest taking it with meals so in the hospital we give it at 0800 1200 and 1700 (5 pm). Colace is imporatant and not be nervous if your stool changes color. May appear more black looking. Good luck with thursday's test.

Re: I failed my 1 hour & a question
the same thing happened to me...I failed and was had low iron
I took the iron on a full stomach...and honestly I did not take it everyday. The baby was born fine, the iron is more for you especially after having the baby when you lose blood.
I ended up passing the 3 hour.
Good LUck

Did you try the Brand SlowFE? It is time released and gentler on your belly!

Cathie,
This is the one I take. I only had mild constipation for about a week, but after that, I was fine. Sorry for the TMI.
