Since I’m underweight, I’m not eligible to donate blood. I will order a Blood Typing Test Kit (http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=m38.l1313&_nkw=eldoncard&_sacat=See-All-Categories) to learn my blood type instead.

CelestiHel is gearing up for NaNo!
How I did it: I gave blood. It's free to find out this information if you give blood even once If you try to find out any other way, it costs money. There is no way to find out your blood type without getting stuck with a needle. This is no problem for people who are not afraid of needles. Read how I did it…

And i f’ing forgot to bloody ask to check my type woo! My arm is covered in a massive bruise too + i cried blah blah.. like the bruise runs along my vein and yeah it is massive there on my arm bastards! and everyone asks me what happened with a raised eyebrow so what do u think they are thinking when they ask me eh? this chick have a big weekend on the intravenous drugs?
blood today. We were chatting about it before she went. I’ve never done it for a couple reasons. One is that I have always been borderline anemic and the other is that I have really small veins and whenever I have blood taken to have tests done, it’s always a hassle.
I think that I am O- but I am not sure about it. I called my doctor’s office today and for some reason they have never tested my blood type.
I will be going with my friend when she goes to donate again and will see about donating with her. At that time I will find out what my actual type is.
My school had a blood drive on monday this week and I donated, so in november when I can donate again I’ll be in the database and finally learn what my blood type is!
Woot!

My last blood work was done a few months ago and I didn’t think to ask. Looked into donating blood, but if you’ve traveled to a place where there is malaria within the last 12 months, they won’t let you donate (because they don’t screen for it and they just have to trust you.) So since I was hiking in the Amazon 8 months ago, this one will have to wait.
Kara G is tired, busy with school/work
everyone in the family seems to be a o+
but i never got to check mine.
isn’t o+ rare?
HallieBaby needs to spend less time setting goals and more time achieving them
This has been on my list for about 2 years. In that 2 years, I had to have a blood test, and I nearly passed out, and then the other day there was the option of having another blood test, and I just couldn’t bring myself to let them take my blood out of me! It’s not that it’s gross, it’s just that the needle is in there for SO LONG. with injections it’s like super quick and then it’s done, but they put this massive needle in you and leave it in for ages!! I cannot deal with that. I hope one day I do pull myself together around needles, because I’d love to give blood!
