Mmm I just gave blood, I try to whenever I can since I have a reasonably rare blood type. I'm A negative.

Here's the rarities:
O Positive 38 %
A Positive 34 %
B Positive 9 %
O Negative 7 %
A Negative 6 %
AB Positive 3 %
B Negative 2 %
AB Negative 1 %

What blood type are you? Do you donate? If you don't know what type you are, ask your mum, if she doesn't know, then I guess you won't know until you get a blood test or give blood

If you're negative and a woman it poses some quite big issues when you're pregnant Only if your partner is positive (John is ) Luckily I shouldn't have to worry about that for a good few years yet.

Why does it make problems when pregnant?

Do you get money for giving blood?

[Hazard]

So at least that help women to pick who they marry *No not you your positive*

[Black Flame]

I'm O+, as is the rest of my family. I've never given blood, but only because I'm not old enough. I think you have to be 17 to donate here, and I'm only 16.

Hmm you have to be 16 here to do it.

My parents were a bit confused when I told them I was A- since both my parents are + but two positives can have a negative baby.

2 positive test results can lead to having a child that develops AIDs.

Donating you might get a free coffee mug.

[Hater_Boxden]

[Tyler.]

You can get money for giving Plasma. Gotta be 18, though (here). No clue what my BT is.

[Aethean]

Not yet, but I recently turned 17 so now I can.. eventually

[Crayon]

Been around needles since I was very young since my dad is diabetic so they really don't bother me at all.

[Mr. Hobo]

How long does the proccess take? I haven't donated, too young I think. I'm A+. Has anyone met AB-? Lucky bastards get blood from everyone

[Chew]

B+ here and I have been donating at least twice a year the last 10 or so years unless I have gotten a new tattoo then I have to wait I think its 6 months or so.

ah you too? my dad's a diabetic also, and has to have 4-5 shots if insulin a day... and sometimes i have to do it... so yeah... not really afraid of needles.. but my GF is absolutely terrefied of them...
i've given blood a # of times yet i don't remember my blood type.. i should of really payed more attention.

[Rikku]

aww i hope i don't get it.. it must be hell getting all of the shots and controlling your diet... i would kill mtyself if i knew that i had it.. i don't think i'd be able to put up with it for very long..
speaking of things on your arms.. i HATED my cast when i broke my wrist... OMG!!!! i took a hammer to it after the first month.. and then the doctor got really mad @ me

[Kimoflea]

People that give blood are awesome. Hehe. Everyone thinks it'll be scary with the needles and that, but it hurts less than having a jab.

I'm O+, woo for being common!

[Melchoire]

Props, good work I never gave blood before except to for the purpose of making it absolutely positive that my health was at it's peak and adequate for overseas travel. I prefer to have a common blood type so that if I ever need it'll be available

[Rikku]

i think that there are enough people donating now that it dosn't matter what type of blood you are.. there's probably always going to be some availeble... plus can't the rare blood types accept blood from any other group, or is that just AB -

[Frizzle]

I would never give blood unless it was to find out my blood type, I'm not scared of needles, but what's the point of going through it all, just to get nothing out of it.

the idea is for other people to get something out of it lol. You make it sound like it's a strenuous process when all you do is lie down....they take the blood....and you walk away xD
