This was a lifesaver. We’d been following the instructions that came with the kit and used 2 lancets to get barely to the 200 line in over 10 minutes. This got us to 600 in about 20 more seconds
Needles and blood freak me the eff out. I used up two lancets and couldn’t get a single drop out. I was about to give up but then followed the tips in this video and it made all the difference. I was able to get to just a little below the 600 line, which is hopefully going to be enough. Thanks for making this video!
This was soo helpful! Thank you. First try I got about 3 tiny drops. I was so stressed. I ran my hand under water and held a cup of tea. I did it where she said and wow 😂 I couldn’t stop it. It was done within a minute.
How are you having these enormous drops of blood flowing like raindrops?! My blood coagulates almost immediately after leaving the hand, and the wound seals within 30 seconds. The blood won't even drip off, but it would take about 200 drops to fill a tube, not 16. And they do not flow like this.
@@fucheree I have Raynaud's syndrome, so the blood supply to my extremities isn't great. I eventually got enough by going to the gym first and coming home pumped and sweaty with my heart beating.
to @@minty777and original poster, if your blood coagulates almost immediately it could be a sign of a health issue even if you have Raynaud's syndrome. Please consider speaking to your doctor about it! Keep safe everyone :)!!
Everlywell and Let's Get Tested (similar at-home testing companies in the US) should just delete their info videos and link to this one instead. SOOO much more helpful.
Why are the fingers the chosen spot for these blood test sample things ? Why not somewhere that it will be so much less painful,like the abdomen or the forearm ?!,front or back,especially the back of the forearm for me. My forearms are mega veiny in the back,so they would be a great spot for these blood tests. My fingers are ultra sensitive. I've accidentely poked myself in the fingers various times at work,and even at home doing stuff. I always yelp out like a wild animal in distress,so the idea of getting a finger-poke blood test is totally a "no-can-do" for someone like myself. I used to see those commercials where they'd show an innovative diabetic blood testing kit where you poke the forearm instead of ones highly-sensitive fingers with they're very ultra sensitive nerve endings. The forearms dont have those types of ultra sensitive nerve endings. Even the abdominals dont have that type of ultra sensitivity. How come i dont see those types of commercials anymore ? Is finger-pricking En Vogue ?

Are you hydrated enough?

They should provide with a suck

Wipe away the first drop? Are you bloody crazy! Each drop of my flow is precious as I barely managed to get 3 drops!!!!
Reason being is the first drop of blood is diluted with the alcohol pad they usually tell you to wipe with hope this helps
I used all my lancets and I just got 1 drop of bloob😣😐
I tried this with UK NHS test kit but couldn't get blood to flow without clotting in just a couple of minutes. Do other people not face this problem?
Tie a rubber band at the joint before the fingertip
Have a hot shower before!

I thought it would be a needle, this looks much easier than I expected
I could never get enough blood out this method but I’m gona try this thank you! Saves me a long trip to the clinic!!
Is getting up to 400 enough? That’s as far as I got it to
I managed to get almost to the 600line. Cant mix it up tho. it's all solid.
I did one of these today but because it took me so long to get the blood to the 600 line the blood clotted. Can they still test with that sample?

if your life is on the line you wouldn't even think about getting hurt smh
Prick your Willy
I imagine it is easier to direct drops of blood from your finger than your abdomen.
This thing goes into your skin a long way, hit a vein and you'd need medical attention ASAP
Facts!!
You'll feel a little prick, no need to be rude.
Fuck sake i used them all and couldnt get enough
Ur so funny
I love the ascent
I fucking hate it 😥😩😩😩
