just booked my 21 day progesterone test for next tuesday as Im pretty sure I ovulated on tuesday and im not pregnant from last cycle. Just wating for FF to catch up lol

Im soooo scared, im a proper needle phobic and I only have to catch a glimpse of the needle and/or my blood and I'll faint or throw up

why not practice some meditation tecniques? DH is terrified of needles and he uses meditation in those cirmumstances

good luck honey, focus on LO in your arms

good luck i cant stand needles. Last blood test i had i had DH holding my hand. I dont think saying "oh my god look at the blood sqirting into the tube" was going to make me feel more comfortable

I do a lot of meditation anyway, its my lifestyle, but yeah I hadnt thought of using it for that, good idea

I'll have my OH and my teenager with me so they can hold a hand each

 

[Fingers crossed]

I'm sure you'll be fine GGG, take an MP3 or something to keep your mind off it. I love having them myself, I like seeing the needle disappear into my arm and all the blood spurt up into the tube

One word....EMLA!

After passing out at my 12 week bloods, I insisted on this every time.

Bizaarely, I'm not conciously scared of needles but seem to pass out whenever I have an injection

EMLA is a white numbing cream. You put a dollop on your arm about half an hour before and you can't feel a thing! It's normally for kids but i sweet talked the midwife into giving me a prescription!
