Hope the end is in sight soon goodness! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blood-draws#post-307770 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 10:50:38 +0000 sslm 307770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also have tiny veins so I feel your pain!! When I miscarried I had a ton of bloodwork done, and since it was hard for them to hit the vein, I looked like a freaking heroin junkie for a while!!</p> <p>Every 6 hours sounds like torture though :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blood-draws#post-307764 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 10:49:06 +0000 Mrs. Train 307764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have horrible veins too. I was hospitalized several times before my twins were born and every time I cried when I saw the phlebotomist coming. Afraid of childbirth? Nope no problem. Someone coming at me do an IV or blood draw? Nightmare. </p> <p>I'm so sorry the have to do It so often that's awful. It's why no one can be any rest when they are in the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blood-draws#post-307753 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 10:43:37 +0000 mediagirl 307753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh!! I guess they can't just leave a catheter in there to pull blood when they need it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blood-draws#post-307659 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 10:02:35 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 307659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even though I have terrible veins (their little and they like to roll around when trying to be pricked), I thought IVF made me somewhat of a pro in the blood draw dept. Heck, they drew my blood once 3 out 5 days.</p> <p>But now I'm getting my blood drawn every 6 hours and they can only use one arm! So mean!</p> <p>Although it's hurt more some times than others, the only double stick of course was last night at 3 am. Of course they have to turn on the brightest lights. It took at least a half an hour to try to find the first and then stick me, then decide it wasn't working, then find the other. Whatever.</p> <p>That is all. (Just a vent.) :) </p>
