Do blood tests hurt worse than the school virus needles?!


Question: Do blood tests hurt worse than the school virus needles!?
Well I'm planning on getting a blood test to see if I'm pregnant but clearly they're different from the school needles because the school ones are just a 1 second jab but yeah since blood tests stick a needle in and take blood out, how long do they leave the needle in and does it hurt!? lol im scared of needles!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I'm a phlebotomist (drawing blood is my job) and if they are only drawing a pregnancy test, the needle should only be in about 10-15 seconds, but all phlebs have their own little techniques!.!.!. that's about average though!. It doesn't hurt that bad, unless you get a crappy phlebotomist!.

and for that test it's a very small amount of blood, equivalent to about a teaspoonWww@Answer-Health@Com

They don't hurt, but the after effects are what suck!.
Everyone is different though, I got really dizzy and felt like I was going to puke for like 10min!. They will let you sit there until you're ready though!.
This is also depending on how much blood they have to take for a prego test!.
I was getting tested for anything I just wanted to make sure my blood was clean and I didn't have anything!.!.!. so they took about six vials full!.
I would talk to your doctor as they do it to have them explain into detail, but like I said it really didn't hurt, it just left a bruise and me feeling sick and dizzy for a few min afterwards!. :] Www@Answer-Health@Com

blood tests don't hurt, seriously it actually doesn't at all!. Its a very thin needle and only lasts a few seconds, just don't look at it!.
The most painful is the cervical cancer injection , compared to that its nothing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Blood tests just feel funny!. You can get a pregancy test taken!. Or you can go see the doctor!. They can tell you!. Blood tests' needles stay in your skin a little longer!. They take some blood out so the feeling is weird!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Blood tests don't actually hurt as much as the anti-virus needles!. They leave the needle in for 10 seconds max!. It only hurts afterwards if they let the blood flow back in!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
