Found this online:First, wait for any lab testing until you are healthy. Even if you have a cold, it can affect results. Fasting tests require nothing by mouth except small amounts of water for 8 to 16 hours (call your Doctor's office to find out the number of hours he/she wants you tested at specifically). This means:NO SMOKINGNO GUM (not even sugarless!)NO TUMSNO BREATH MINTSNO TOOTHPASTENO COFFEE (not even black!) Also, do not EXERCISE during the fasting period. Violating these rules will affect the reliability of test results. (You can eat normally in the days before the fast.)
Basically, women can't do fasting in Ramadhan month where they are in monthly period (menstruation) OR after maternity period. We know Al Qur'an said that women monthly blood are dirty thing which burden women worship. When the blood REALLY come out (means that you can see the red stripe on the 1st day) then you have to stop praying and can't do fasting for 10 days long until the blood stop. But, if the blood doesn't stop for more than 10 days then you have to start praying and fasting as you have to check your condition to the right doctor to avoid any health problem inside your body. Same with women in maternity period. If the blood still come out then you don't have to pray and fasting the whole month until the blood really stop. The conclusion is, keep fasting as long as no blood come out from your sex. Even if you pregnant and you think u might able to fasting without burden your baby's nutrient, keep fasting because it's good for your health. Hope this might help.
