If i remember corectly i had a 58 RBC and donated twice at a 2 day interval and finally it came out at about 50
Under doctors care.
do they have a permanent donation office like Delta Blood?Quote:

that's what I'm thinking. Delta allows every 3 months. But if red cross has a perm center too, then I can go there and donate every three months, putting me on a 6 week donation cycle.Quote:

Donate Blood | Find a Local Blood Drive | American Red Cross
this is a zip code locator to find the nearest drive near you
Yea. I'm registered with them now. Every three months is ok the allowed amount
On Monday I get blood drawn again to see where my rbc is.that's what I was wondering.
How much will it lower per donation.
it wasn't a blood donation. It was a phlebotomy. And the reason why they could do it 2 days apart was because they also gave me the equivalent in glucose solution IV. Basically they diluted my blood. Otherwise i think 2 pints is too much 2 days apart.
I donated one time in Afghanistan. They took a litre and took another one two months later.........Quote:
