In contrast to some other blood tests, you don’t have to come fasting in the morning for beta-HCG but can do it any time during the day.

An essential requirement for these tests is that the blood draw is done fasting in the morning; drinking coffee or smoking before the test is not allowed. If you are taking any thyroid medication, you should wait for your morning pill until after the blood sample has been collected.

• The test takes about two hours.
• On the test day, you should come to the lab no later than 9:30 in the morning, fasting. 9:30 is the latest hour the test can begin.
• The test begins with a fasting blood draw to measure the blood glucose levels. After that, you will be given 75 g of glucose powder, which the lab technician will add to 300 ml of water in front of you. You have to drink the glucose solution in small portions over the next 10 minutes, not all at once.
• One hour after taking the glucose, you will have the second blood draw at the lab to measure 60-min glucose levels.
• After one hour more, on the 120^th minute, the third blood draw is done.
• During the two hours of the test, you should NOT take any food or drink, smoke, or engage in intensive physical activities.

After getting up in the morning, the patient voids and disposes of the first urine for the dayа. From that moment onwards, the 24-hour collection period begins, i.e., if you start at 08:00, you should collect all urine till 08:00 on the next day. A clean container with at least 2 l capacity should be used to collect the WHOLE amount of urine for the next 24 hours. In the time between urine portions, the container should be stored in a refrigerator at 2-8°C. On the next morning, the first voided urine is added to the collection. Urine is measured,  the quantity is recorded, and about 10 ml is brought to the lab. On the day of 24-hour urine collection, the patient should stick to their regular diet and drink and not try to take more water and liquids than usual. They should be careful not to miss adding a urine void to the container.
