I do not understand why doctor's offices let you see test results before you can meet with your doctor to interpret them for you. Or, why don't they interpret them on the test result?!
I got my urine test results back via my doctor's online interface system. I'm not entirely sure what they mean, but using the (not-so-helpful) test result interpreter tool, I think I have a UTI. I'm sure this isn't a huge deal - from what I have read, this is fairly common in pregnancy and they give you a 10 day supply of antibiotics to clear it up. I've never had a UTI before and from what I know about them, they are painful. I am not in any pain. I do not have any of the symptoms. And i'm not sure I'm interpreting the test right. UGH!
I guess I have to wait a week until my doctor appt to find out. Until then, I will be chugging the cranberry juice.
10 MINUTES LATER UPDATE
Ok, so I called the doctor office to speak with a nurse. Turns out I totally don't know how to read a urine test result. Everything is fine! She did say that if I did ever get a UTI, they usually will order treatment for them right away so with the test result, I would have gotten a phone call and a prescription. Good to know!
Now I feel like a spaz.

I'm cracking up! I LOVE that I get my test results online super fast, too, but more than once have spazzed over the results unnecessarily!
ReplyDeleteI had two with my pregnancy. One they found with the routine test and I never had any symptoms. The second one I was dying in pain waiting for them to confirm so I could have medicine.
ReplyDeleteMy doctor didn't have test results online - I didn't even know that was an option. How cool.
