Blood groups

[Mr Whippy]

O+
Donated nearly 40 times. Attempted plasma last year but they reckoned my veins were too narrow and wouldn’t take the pressure . Nee good when I’m older and my cholesterol rises!

 

[becs]

O negative. They loved me at the blood donors but I'm not allowed to go now

 

[OldNewtown]

O negative. They loved me at the blood donors but I'm not allowed to go now

B+
They love it when I donate but make it so difficult for me to actually donate aaaaahhhh
Still up to 48 donations though

I didn't know my blood group until in my 50's when I had a blood test. I'm AB, no big deal, but I just read the chances of parents both with type O of having a child that is AB is highly unlikely, but I have no idea if highly unlikely is millions to one or whatever. I'm sure there are a few on here that could add there pennyworth.

There is Zero chance that 2 people with blood type O can have an AB child I'm afraid!

I used to donate in the UK but Canada dont want my English blood as they are worried I will give everyone mad cow disease

 

[Goat Eyes]

O+ and 68 pints donated.

Nee idea on my parents or my children.

B neg.
Rare, 2% of the western population.
One of the reasons I spent 9 years on the Transplant Register before my phone rang.

Surely one of your parents must be AB , or one and A and the other a B

O+ - the most common group - 75 Pints and just got my Platinum certificate and badge - started years ago when they used to come to place of work and just kept going. Think you have to pack in at 70 so might just reach 80. Last donation went to the Wirral according to text you now get!
No clue want parents were

I’m only 43 years old so hopefully plenty more pints and a 100 hall of fame for me.

 

[Harry Gates]

The blue eyed parents can only produce blue eyed bairns fallacy was another common argument starter.

Nice one GE - 100th donation and you get Ceremony invitation, ruby donor card, commemorative medal, badge and certificate - as well as knowing you’ve potentially saved many lives

Going to wear my medal all the time.

I gave over 75 pints of my O-Positive until diabetes struck and I was cast off like an old boot without a thank you or kiss my arse!

Are you me? I'm O+ and I'm going for my 40th donation next week.

I asked about platelets and they told me that they don't usually take platelets from O+ donors, as they need our whole blood sample more (and you can't donate both).

I got asked years ago to donate platelets but the amount of time they need, frequency of donation and location didn’t work for me.

 

[Musicman]

B neg , lost count of donations cos I haven’t done it for a while

 

[Big Toe]

A positive. My blood donations are used for babies as I'm CMV-negative.

I did before but I’ve switched to platelets. In truth it’s a bit of a hassle getting there, time to donate and frequency but I like to do it.
