fawn	I donated blood once when I was 17. It was in high school. I missed the one they had when I was 18 because I was 95lbs and when I was 19, I couldn't do it because I was pregnant. Now, I want to go back and do it and I hope that I meet the requirements. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

olympics junkie	Yes, I've donated in the past. Because my normal body temp is 99.9, they won't let me donate anymore, even w/a letter from my doctor stating that's as low as it goes, going back over 20 years.

Shaun the Sheep	I used to, but can't any longer due to being on regular medication. I would strongly urge people to do it though.

j.pee69	I got upto 11 donations and I now don't get free time to do it as the times don't tally with my shifts and I will not pay over a pound to park in a car park just to give blood wgen it does tie in nicely!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mrs. Kav	yes, i do regularly (i'm O-negative, and stocks are always required as they can give it to anybody; it's also used in fetal blood transfusions which is a cause very close to heart). Also my mum needed 5pts after she gave birth to me, so i wouldn't have had my mum if people hadn't been so generous in the early 80s. i'm now a mother of three and as soon as my daughter is 9months old i'll be donating again. I'm also a bone marrow donor volunteer. i believe you should help however you can. xxx Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mike S	Yes, and if you are able to you should. The screening process does check several physical and lifestyle risk factors and they will not accept your blood if you meet some of the risk factors.
