| Oh that sounds pretty painful, Dash. I just looked it up |
Morning Drizzle, but Clearing later| The Old Gods |
| Yeah. Had to get blood work every 3 months there for awhile. I started knowing the nurses by name lol. It just turns into a bit of a pain when they have to go fishing for a vein. Evidently, my left arm has smaller ones than my right. So...Good to know I guess |
| Dimmed |
| Oh yeah my arms look fine. The vein though is really hard to get to now, so I have to use my other arm most times which sucks |
| Gaelic Gladiacres |
| me when I had so many blood tests done for Lyme disease testing...and then military stuff...and fertility stuff... I've got the same little scarring lol although I'm pretty lucky I think and they're not super visible |
| Lunar Wilds |
| I am hoping that if my husband and I decide not to have a second after this that he’ll get the good ole snip snip. My only real option for contraception is the pill and it still sucks. |
| Dash Warmbloods |
| It’s an injection most people in the DoD get at least once. Usually before boot. |
| Dimmed |
| I used to be fine with needles for IV and blood draws, but IVF left me with slight anxiety over it. They drew my blood in the same arm so often it's like it got scar tissue and started bruising badly. I looked like an addict 😅 now when I get blood drawn it makes me anxious |
| Jericho Stables |
| It's kind of moot point. It was two shots that did not bother me *at all*. The last one was seven years ago. And I have ZERO intention of ever being pregnant again. I have an IUD. There is the whole matter of a brain tumor that messes with my hormones and I had to take medication to get pregnant the last time. PLUS my husband has had the ole snip snip |
| Dash Warmbloods |
| Only needle that’s ever made me feel horrible was after the peanut butter shot 🤣 |
| Dimmed |
| You can buy blood type kits on Amazon lol I'm pretty sure that's where I got mine |
| Dimmed |
| I've been nervous about this pregnancy a bit. There's higher chance of issues with a second RH+ baby. I guess the risk is pretty low because I had RhoGAM for the first, but still nervous |
| Jericho Stables |
| Yeah, he's a wimp lmfao. He gets queazy when he sees the kids get a shot, lead test, etc |
| Lunar Wilds |
| They can also use the opportunity for potential carrier testing if the patient is willing |
| SilverOctober |
| It’s basically a single uterus that got split into two while I was in the womb, so they’re two small ones |
| Lunar Wilds |
| Blood tests done through most labs, especially when OB ordered are typically a full blood pull |
| The Old Gods |
| I don't know about for RH typing, but blood typing doesn't need a blood draw. I straight up did mine in biology lab one year lol |
