When do they do it?
What's it like?
Are there any warning signs that you may have it already?

People hate the test they think it's nasty but I like it! The stuff they make you drink just tastes like super syrupy soda.. I don't know how you dr does it but they told me not to eat before I went and you just drink it wait an hour and get your blood drawn and they called me with my results within days..
