The only thing you should restrain from donating in my opinion, is if you are taking isotretinoin (accutane) cause it will for sure cause fetus deformation if blood is given to a pregnant woman.

The some of the questions you have to lie, like taken any injectables etc, if you hesitate or try to tell the truth you will be refused on the spot. Really hate the sex questions, basically they can refuse you if you dont have the same sex partner last 6 months, think most ppl lie in this questions. Maybe in the UK is different, dont know for sure.
thanks for all that info mate
all i can do is go in and see whats what

im not taking accutane or anything, had the same partner for 3 years.
i hear you get real dizzy after donating blood, hope it doesnt trigger my anxiety which ive kept under control really well for the last 8 months
