Just when you pass the Materni T21 test they tell you ok now we are going to do another blood test for Neural Tube Defects.  Cant I just relax and enjoy this pregnancy!

Yep - I feel like a pin cushion!  I was telling someone else today that because I went to an RE to get pregnant, I had blood work for all of the following: 

Day 3 fertility tests, blood tests for betas (4x), 1st OB/GYN appt blood work, NT scan blood work, MaterniT21 test, Neural Tube Defects, and every 6 weeks I have to get blood work done for my hypothyroidism.  It used to be easy for them to find a vein in my arm but I think all of my veins are in hiding.  

Hope the wait goes fast for you.

sounds like my life, I also went to RE.  I thought life would be easy once we found out we were pregnant guess not.  I have no veins either   1 in particular is so scared up

I hope none of you have to do the 3-hour glucose tolerance test!  I had mine yesterday and it was 4 pricks in 3 hours!  My arms are both bruised this morning.
