I got my kit last week and they said LapCorp doesn’t do it and to go to quest. I finally had the time to go to Quest to get that done but they said they don’t do the test. I’m just so confused on where I’m supposed to go and my doctor’s office is no help.

I took my 1 hour test at 27w4d and failed by 2 points. Due to work, unable to get off the following week to go in for the 3 hour test.
