GD test

Do you not get paid time for appointments? It’s 2.5hours so I was out of work about 3.5hrs with travel time.

I’ve got full day off as they’ve organised appointments for 9.45, 11.45 and then 2.15 😅

@Amy I do yes, it goes down as Medical, but I let my employers know roughly how long I'll be OOO for, so I wanted to gauge the right kind of time.

@Naomi ohh! I have just the one time. Ahh well, we'll see what happens

I would also see how you feel afterwards because I felt really sick after my test and just wanted to go to bed so didn't go back to work afterwards x

I think for mine I was at the hospital for a total of 3 hours so depending on travel etc I’d say 3.5/4hrs

I've been told to be in just before 9 for the fasting blood test, then it's 2 hours after having the drink, then another blood test. So I'm expecting around 3 hours, start to finish.

@Elizabeth That's true actually, I'll see how the rest of the day goes. Thanks for that, I didn't consider how I may feel after

Thanks ladies, my appointment is at 8am so I'll just take the entire morning off. I may even get to squeeze in a little nap before starting back 🤞🏾

Hiya! Mine was at 9am and I was out of hospital by 12:30 felt fine after good luck! I found it was much better than I thought it would be, the drink wasn’t too bad just like a thick sugary water x
