Truly the blood test is nothing to worry about Nicole. I don't have veins and it took them 7 times to find a vein. i know that sounds really awful. But it is such a state of mind thing. I am able to put myself in a meditative state and not even feel anything. The nurses didnt believe it. They were like girl you are so calm you don't even flinch. I just said well i know that you have to get the blood out ,so i just sit here till you get it. This is while one nurse was jabbing an arm each! I am so hoping that i can get pregnant as i'm dying to learn about hypnobirthing. They were apologising so much,and i couldnt apologise enough for being such a difficult patient. So just get your self in that really calm headspace. Close your eyes and take deep slow breaths and imagine a place or color that soothes you. You'll get through it no problem. Says me who is still packing about IUI,hehehehe-I'm funny. good luck with it.
