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....Health Question & Answer

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 teaspoonHealth Question & Answer

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.. :] Health Question & Answer
