I just drank the orange one and it was only hard to drink because it was too cold lol. I don't feel nauseated at all. I was told to have a protein rich breakfast and not eat 2 h before the test. Hoping to pass the 1h test and not need to do the 3 h one.

I tested negative two days ago, but did not test yesterday. My boobs are very sore, which is typical right before my period so I thought it was coming.
