Extreme bruising after blood draw

2017-04-16 09:24:23
I got a blood draw 4 days ago from both sides and I immediately started bruising on both sides. It has been very painful and tender, and everyday it's getting worse. Earlier this evening I had huge black bruises, it even outlined my vein around them that went up my shoulder and down my arm, around the circle bruise..and now tonight my bruises turned dark brown. I have NEVER had this happen before. I am also 7 weeks pregnant.
