How to find out what my blood type is
It made me
content.
 "Blood type is a great thing to know, and knowing mine, I feel more assured about my health and what would happen to me in an emergency."
How I did it: I get blood drawn every once in a while at the doctor's office. However, I always forget to ask if they will also determine my blood type. I finally remembered about a year ago, but for whatever reason, it wasn't/couldn't be done. Then, about a month ago, I was getting my blood drawn and asked if it could be typed. It could, and I'm O+. Which is normal, considering that I have relatives that are AB-. ;-) Lessons & tips: Ask whenever you get blood drawn! Also, if you are eligible to give blood (I'm not, but I wish I was), do it! Not only will you help save a life, but they will tell you your blood type. Good luck! |

I opened it up and was pleasantly surprised to find a donor card tucked inside, with my name and AB+ blood type printed on the bright red plastic.

I’ve always wanted to know what my blood type is. It’s not like I need to know it or anything, but I would be interesting anyway. I guess I will give blood, once I overcome my fear of needles… ^^
