isn't wasn't bad at all, they drew blood from my arm and then then they did the external ultrasound like they do for pregnany moms on the belly and then the internal one almost felt like a pap smear but not as bad... it was more comfortable than pap smears actually!

that's good! I think I can handle that! Did they only draw blood once? Last time I had blood drawn they had to prick me three times before they got anything! They have some new thing now where they are suppose to be able to find veins better.
Do they only do the internal ultrasound if they don't find anything on the regular ultrasound, or did they do both anyway?

they prick your arm once and then fill up a couple different tubes but they don't have to keep pricking you each time they change tubes, they just change them over.

they did both ultasounds at the same time, one after another.... they told me that the internal would be done by determining on what the external one looked like.

they pricked me 3 times because they couldn't find a vein and when they did one time, they couldn't get any blood out of it.. so then went from my left arm.. to my right arm then back to my left arm.

Are most of them quick at changing the tube?

i would hate that too! maybe the person that did it wasn't that experienced. i used to give blood a lot and some people were pros while some just didn't have a clue....

when they change the tube, you don't feel a thing because the same needle is still in your arm. the only thing you ever feel is the inital prick when the needle first goes in and i don't even think that hurts. i just look away when they put it in. but the tubes fill up fast and you're done before you know it! the whole experience was better than i expected.

It might not be very dark, but its there!!!!!

YAY!!!

Congrats sis

Wow, Hooray! October is a good month! I pray November is just as full of TTC graduates I want you all in pregnancy!

TTC Humor..

You know you're TTC when...

- the Big 'O' no longer refers to [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse], but instead to ovulation
- you show everyone who will look at your bbt charts - every twinge is a potential sign: ovulation pain OR perhaps implantation
- it no longer strikes you as the least bit odd to check out at the pharmacy with both HPTs and tampons in your cart.
- you schedule your social events around your ovulation day
- if your OPK comes up +, you cancel all social engagements that night so you can BD & lie with your legs elevated and butt up in the air afterwards
- you talk using mysterious acronymns that only your ttc buddies understand: ttc, BD, ewcm, bbt, opk, 2ww
- your morning motto is: "Don't talk to me until I've taken my temperature"
- you take your temperature more than once a day (committed TTCer)
- you refuse to finish decorating that 3rd bedroom in your new house, because you can't stand the thought of getting it just the way you want it only to have to tear it apart next month in order to make room for the nursery you'll be needing.
- you put off buying any fall/winter clothes, because you hope they won't fit by the time the weather gets cooler.
- you clip coupons for OPKs and HPTs
- your doctor says, "Now take these home and inject this needle into your stomach every day" and you don't even flinch.
- you spend more on OPKs, HPTs, and fertility supplements than you do on clothes
- the thought of nausea makes your heart skip a beat!
- you make a mental note of what day of your cycle it is before you say "ok" to a drink
- you get sick but make sure you can take the medicine in case you are pregnant...and would rather stay sick if you can't take the medicine..
- you finally look forward to mornings! Another opportunity to take and record your temp!
- you refer (and think) of your husband, not as his real name, but as the letters "DH" in real life
- you suffer silently from Infertility Vision (IV) - defined as the ability to see pink lines that nobody else can see. It's a very common condition among POASers during the days leading up to the official test day. Research is still being done, but at present there is no cure for it!
