I've had the same problem with the kit sent out in the North here. I used all 3 and squeezed out as much blood as I could but they had to send out another kit as my blood had clotted in the sample I had sent and couldn't be analysed.

So what ye're saying is that ye're so tight ye can't even squeeze a bit of blood out!?

I've had to do this for a PSA test recently. Felt like they were looking for about 5 pints in the test tube. It is a pain but you just habe to keep the blood flowing.

If the blood was there it would of come out , there sending me out new lacelets. I'll approach it differently have a hot shower and tape up fingers with sports tape

Whereabouts on the finger do they tell you to use the lancet?
In Rapid testing, first we use the top quarter of the side of the tip, next the soft part of the tip.
I have bigger lancets for people who work with their hands and have thicker skin.

Just followed the instructions.

It said a few places, didn't do the tip but probably should of

I had to do 2 fingers as not enough came from the tip. Managed to work better on the index finger. Maybe didn’t warm up enough. Eventually got there

That would explain it Billie. The skin on my fingers must be thick - like myself !
