I thought they were only taking about 10-12, but SIXTEEN. Was not fun. I'm glad I went through it though, and I'm anxiously awaiting the results. DH came with me to hold my hand. Hopefully, everything comes back normal in about a week and a half.

I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
Wow, that's a lot of blood!
I hope you get good results
DH came with me and held my hand. I took the rest of the day off from work as I was pretty dizzy and tired afterwards.

Good grief... it's like you were donating a pint of blood. Did they give you juice and a cookie?
I hope the results are good and that they are helpful in your TTC journey.

Thanks blue, they told me to bring a snack in case I started to get dizzy, but I did get juice...DH took me for some much needed pizza after. It was a hard decision for me, bc half of me didn't want to go threw with it, but now that I have, I'm quite relieved. Until the results come back.
Thanks for all the warm wishes, all.
Sheesh! Don't they know you need that stuff!!!!!
anyway.. good luck on the results.. xxxx
i think I would've passed out, you are much stronger than me!
Good luck with the results, keep us posted!
I don't know why but that phrase makes me smile
Fatima - I hope you are feeling better and that the results come back all good!
It's okay, you can admit it, it is I that really makes you smile.
