We’re both back at work from our early morning trip to the RE for my progesterone check. LOVE the nurse that took my blood, she was sweet, calm, efficient, and fast. She assured me that they only ever use a butterfly needle and it felt far less invasive. Also, for the first time ever I volunteered my right arm for the draw. See, I’m right handed but the inner elbow veins on my left arm are tiny and invisible. I’ve got a really visible one right near the surface in the center of my right inner elbow. Made a big difference, I think. I was a big girl, didn’t cry, didn’t hyperventilate, didn’t get light headed or woozy. I was in and out in 3 minutes.
This is HUGE, people. It makes me really hopeful for all the blood tests that are down the road, be they for TTC or pregnancy. And honestly, for me, that’s a bigger relief and accomplishment than any results from the actual test.
