When you have blood taken, how many tries does it take them to either find a vein or get blood from it?

I had five needles before they were able to get blood out of me today

I'm a fucking hard stick. It's taken multiple sticks and calls for reinforcements.

When I had my last baby I had a post partum hemorrhage and they couldn't find a vein. It was tense few minutes.

@chuck7882 I started feeling cold and distant. And was pale and weak for weeks after.
