    Have they let you do this before your 56 day window is up? That would be great for my husband who has high hemoglobin issues. They send him notices about other drives on our area but we were under the impressio he coudn't give until the appropriate amount of time had passed.

    i checked with them and each blood drive center keep their records/data private, in other words they don't share your information with other blood drives centers, so you can go to totally different (not affiliated) blood drive center and donate. i know this because two major blood drive centers declined me due to high hemoglobin, they labeled me with a disease called polycythemia, of course i don't have that disease, its high becasue i am on TRT, but thats how they labeled it. anyway, if they share this information with other blood drive centers it would have shown in the date base and every center would have declined me, but i donate regularly with another BD center with no problems!
