Will multiple sticks error INR?

[TrophyWife]

I finally got my machine and last night I stuck myself for the first time. (Must the moon, Bina!)
Since I didn't get enough blood the first poke, I had to poke again. Would that have caused the blood to change its chemistry enough to lower the INR? I had been at 2.3, 2.8 and so many 3s, but last night I registered 1.9!
I love home testing! YAY!!!!
Thanks y'all ~

2 weeks ago when I got my training at the pharmacy.....I poked 4 fingers without success..I was ready to cry. Then I realized I should crank up the lancer; finger number 5 just oozed blood. It was a beautiful sight
I am now poking on number 4 with ease.

See your email about your log in problems.

INR will change with each and every test however, it should vary much if any at all so long as your doing it back to back.
