O+ (I assume its + since I've been pregnant twice and never received Rho-gam. Both my kids are O+

I have tried several time to donate but I'm turned away for being "under" the required weight requirement and when I was a bit heavier, I was also anemic so I wasn't allowed to donate then. so, nope never was able to donate but wish I could.

[ ] Do you donate?_____yes_______ How frequently

I've donated whole blood a total of 8 times, but I've been deferred at least as many times, always for anemia. I don't consider myself "anemic", but my iron isn't usually high enough for Red Cross standards. I tried donating plasma a couple of times a few years ago, but my body didn't cope well with it.

I used to donate quite a bit but since I've traveled to England on extensive stays, I can no longer donate due to Mad Cow.

Don't know my blood type... and I worked in a blood donor center for five years prior to becoming a nurse.

I'm ineligible to give due to medical history and I guess I haven't had reason to find out about the type.

AB- I was told this was on the rare side, but also told I cannot donate because I have epstein-barr? Any truth to this? Also received Rhogam prior to a miscarriage.
