You will be fine I had the orange. It tastes like an orange soda at first and then u start to feel nauseas. It tastes like sugary **** at the end but you have to force it down otherwise they won't do the test. The blood test wasn't that bad. And I'm normally a huge baby & faint when getting blood drawn. Haha. Anyways I went out to eat right after!!!!! I was so hungry.

I had mine done about 2 weeks ago. It's not that bad just really really sweet. I was all worried cuz of the things I had heard too but it's really not a big deal

I've tried both flavors. The fruit punch is way better and its not bad at all. Reminded me of a flat Capri sun. Just bring water with you and you will be fine.

I had the orange one and it tasted like orange hi-c it wasn't bad at all honestly the wait was the worst part cuz my phone had died and I was just there bored for an hour... It really isn't that bad I chugged my drink I don't even think it was cold lol I think that as pregnant ladies we tend to get a little dramatic at times lol :)

I had the orange flavor and it tasted like a flat orange soda. I got mine 3 weeks before my sugar test so what I did was put it in the refrigerator until the morning of my sugar test. As soon as you start drinking it don't stop until you have finished it at least that's what I did.

Oh yeah & the feeling after was horrible for me when I did the 3 hour, the 1 hour one wasnt bad I just felt a little dizzy but the 3 hour made me feel horrible But for me it was the 3 hour one that was bad.

I had the orange one it just tasted like a flat orange soda not nasty at all. I failed it so I had to take the 3 hour one & I had the fruit punch it tasted way more sugary & had more flavor but not nasty either. Its not bad at all. The only part I hated was the blood part since my blood is really hard to come out so both tests they left me really bruised due to the fact that my blood wouldn't come out but other than that it wasnt bad afterall.

I had mine last week the first couple of sips was ok just tasted like flat lemonade but halfway through it got really strong and I felt a bit sick. 10mins after finishing it I felt really dizzy and didn't know if I was going to be sick or not think it was a massive sugar high lol. It was boring having to wait 2hrs for it all to be over but mainly because I was so hungry from fasting. You will be fine :)
