I just took the OGTT yesterday (a day earlier than what we originally planned). The procedure was available in Medical City's branch in Walter Mart, which is convenient. It costs 1190php which is the same price (more or less) as the last time I took it in 2012. They open at 8:00 am and you have to use the entrance at the side of their covered parking area.
I got there a little over 8:00 am and I was 4th in line in the laboratory section.

They will get your blood 3 times, first is before you drink the beverage. The next 2 is an hour and two hours after you drank it. Thumbs up to the nurse/med tech (?) who took my blood. I did not bruise for the first time, yay! The result was supposed to be ready by 6:00 pm but we have to go out and pick up Amah (grandma) in Quezon City. By the time we got to Walter Mart, they're already closed (8:00 pm).
Anyway, I was able to get the results today.

Yay! I passed! Barely on the first hour but still. I'm still determined to go on diet so I won't get as big (or at least the baby) as my previous pregnancy. So, the only thing left on my list of to do before my next check up is the following:
- Urinalysis
- Ultrasound (week 31)
- Check up with a Hematologist
Hopefully, I can get all these accomplished before end of next week.
Another update is that I've uploaded my first ever youtube video. Yay! Nay? I dunno. LoL. Let me know what you think :) (sorry, the video is in Tag-lish).
