Blood Tests
Today Art and I went to get our blood drawn for some tests the infertility dr is running. Art had one vial he had to give. I had 3 papers with numerous tests. I handed my papers to the clerk and she said you want to get all these today? I told her I would like to since the dr said I needed to get them on certain day. She went to see a lab tech to determine which tests to put in the computer etc. 10 minutes later she comes back and the lab tech calls me in. I had seen the lab tech refilling the stations with empty vials. I saw down and didn't think anything of all the vials laying there. She starts taking my blood...all those vials laying there were for ME. SIXTEEN VIALS! OMG I thought I was going to die. lol When I came out Art asked why it took so long.....ummm 16 vials of blood takes a few minutes.
One step further to starting our family.
Re: Blood Tests
Just another reason men have it easier!
16 vials? I most likely would have passed out? does 1 person even have enough blood for 16 vials?!
do you have any left? yikes!
I hope you get some answers.
oh my! that is crazy!
when do you expect the test results?
yay for being one step closer to a family!
i actually don't mind having blood drawn or shots or IVs or anything like that.. the nurses loved me when i went in for surgery this weekend.
16 vials does feel like a lot though!!
There are 16 different tests he is running. I can't remember everything right now...I have it on a paper at home what the tests were all for. I know he is running tests to see why I have had multiple miscarriages. He will call or email me once everything is done.
holy guacamole! that's some serious blood.
definitely keep us posted on the results!
