[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all the good advice. I will probably switch clinics to one with nurses who are better at drawing blood because that is a huge part of the problem.

To respond to the comment above, my insurance covers IUI but not IVF, so it is worth trying at least a few times. One issue though is we’re using donor sperm and that stuff is expensive! (~$1000 a vial, not counting the expensive shipping, storage, thawing, and prepping!). I will have to price it out and compare. [/quote]

For the price of a cycle I would definitely just put up with all the blood draws. It just increases the likelihood of success in my non medical opinion.

If it’s helpful info, Columbia Fertility only has one tech to draw blood M-F during early lab hours, it’s a different person Saturday. I’m not a hard draw, but I thought she was really good![/quote]

Seconding this, the phlebotomist at CFA is top notch. She is honestly my favorite person who works there.[/quote]
