Nervous

I have to go for blood work today at SIRM and I am nervous because they are going to take for about a zillion tests....
APA (antiphospholipid antibodies), ATA (antithyroid antibodies), NKa (Natural killer cell activation) and RIP (Reproductive immunophenotype), a serum Prolactin level and a TSH.

Anyway my veins are tiny, my blood comes out slowwwwwwwly and I think they need a million vials so I am just feeling nervous about this. Ah well....this too shall pass...

Wish me luck gals!

Re: Nervous

Sending you LOTS of good vibes that everything goes nice and smooth today (and quick!). I just hate needles and having my blood taken. Close your eyes, maybe bring a CD walkman to focus on something else.


And lots of luck!! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Aww Kara, it sounds more overwhelming than what it is. Don't count the vials lol. They are so friendly and talkative at SIRM, that I am sure you will be distracted. My blood moves slowly as well, but it was over fairly quickly.

Kara,

Sorry I am only just seeing this now. I hope everything went smoothly. I never thought I'd get used to them taking blood from me but I'm about to enter month 7 and some days are better than others.

It may seem like an overwhelming amount of tests but just remember... the more tests the more likely they will find and answer/solution and you will be PG.

Re: Nervous

Thanks all -- the phlebotomist (sp?) did a great job - said it helped that I drank watar so thanks Lisa for that tidbit, no one ever told me that before.

They only took 4 vials, and 4 cheek swabs. Then I met with the Dr., for whom I had no questions - and he had nothing to tell me (except to LOSE WEIGHT)-- so it was kind of funny. Until they get the tests back there is nothing really to do.

Oh except he asked if DH has seen the urologist yet...um NO...DH called and "left a message" so he is WAITING for the Dr.'s office to call him back Chat Icon Chat Icon

It has been 2 weeks now that I have been asking him NICELY to call the f_*ing Dr. and can he just DO IT??? I don't get it...now I am ****** at him all over again...Chat Icon

Re: Nervous

It took a while for my dh to go the urologist, i made the appt. for him, that is the only way it was done. they have no clue sometimes, we go through so many exams and that is all they have to do in most cases. Oh yea, and use the dixie cup now and then.

We wait for all the test results -- 10-12 days. I am already in for the May IVF cycle. I think I need to pay a $1,000 refundable deposit.
