2 hours ago for me. I have to get blood drawn once every 2 weeks to check my progesterone levels while pregnant. I had to when I was pregnant with E too. I have like a permanent scar on my arm. I joke that drawing my blood must be really easy at this point- I have an X marks the spot! I used to be really nervous about getting it done but now it just feels routine.
When was the last time you had blood drawn?

Last week. I had Graves disease a couple years ago and now that I'm pregnant I have to get my thyroid levels checked every 4 weeks to monitor function. Luckily, my levels are normal this time but I did test positive for thyroid antibodies so I'm slightly worried about that.

On Monday to get hcg and progesterone checked. I've been getting blood drawn every week for the last 3 weeks! Hoping this last one was the last!

Two weeks ago, in conjunction with the NT scan. They took 7 vials, I thought I was going to run dry...

About a month and a half ago. I had to go for a 3 hour glucose test (that got screwed up and I have to do again!).

I don't remember if they took blood at the hospital..
But the last I remember is sometime early in my pregnancy with DS (1st-2nd trimester)

I have to go every 6 weeks to monitor liver function due to several nasty medications I have to take. I passed out the first time I ever had blood drawn as an adult. Now I still don't like it but I don't faint anymore. Just thrust my arm at the lab tech and look away.
