[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, I'd rather self-administer.  I don't need to deal with a stranger in a hotel room.  I think that's what most diabetics do too.

Anyway, I've traveled a lot over the first ten weeks of my pregnancy, so I've had a lot of experience with this.  If you're worried about permanent marker, your RE should have surgical markers.  I had the nurse mark the spot then touched it up every few days with the surgical marker they gave me (while looking in a mirror).  It wasn't the neatest job but it did it fine.

Most hotels have full-length mirrors, so that's easy.  I've been staying at Airbnbs, which annoyingly don't.  At the first, I propped my phone on the bathroom counter and used that to see the circle.  At the second, which had counters the wrong height, I just did it over the lump from yesterday.

You adapt, in other words. [/quote]

I think what I am most worried about is aspirating the needle. The angle seems so weird for that and if blood appeared I think I’d freak out. Any tips for aspirating or can I skip it just once and hope I haven’t hit a blood vessel?
