Giving Blood?

Hey everyone

Does anyone know if we're ok to give blood if we're TTC? I'm not taking any supplements to help with TTC, only folic acid (when I remember!!!).

Thanks, Julie

Thanks debbiemc!

How are you??? Have you started your 2ww again yet?

I think I'm starting today - not sure, but I think I ovulated yesterday, I had EWCM on Monday, none yesterday, but a little bit this morning!!!

i've decided not to hun cos i'm worried it may upset the "balance" if you know what i mean. This is only my opinion, not based on any medical facts.
But i always feels good after doing it so maybe i should... max xxx

I'm on CD15 now - you're cycles are a tad longer than mine aren't they (I remember now!). Good luck, let me know how the digi sticks go - we're trying those next month if we've not done it this month!

Thanks maxi - I might book an appointment but nip down first thing and see what they say. Its a mobile unit at our office so I might be able to catch them before they get started!!!

I gave blood about three weeks ago. Don't think it has done any harm. If anything I think it will do my body good to produce a bit of fresh blood. When you get PG surely the quality of your blood maybe better. Or am I just living in a fantasy world.

Anyway it wasn't a problem for me and I think vitamin tablets don't make a difference.

aaaw thanks debbiemc! You deserve yours too after saying such a nice thing to me! LOL

Thanks vixs - I'd love to be able too as its been months since I last donated (was on honeymoon the last time the van was here!)
