I havent read any of this thread at all but I just want to say that I have a LOT of respect for the people that give blood as imo it is one of the best things you can do. I need to give blood more.

I'm AB+

I'd definitely recommend donating blood if you can and are able to as it helps so many people and one day you may need it or someone you know may need to be given blood for whatever reason. Takes like 10mins altogether for the donation and even if you don't like needles you'll be fine as long as you don't watch it going into your arm

Oh and if you donate regularly you'll get the different coloured cards (depending on how many times you've donated etc) and badges and stuff

I think I've got the bronze coloured one atm as I've had a couple of breaks due to tattoos/piercings etc, which they won't let you donate for a certain amount of time if they're new.

I presumed you being 2 donations short meant you had done it twice

Thats a good thing in a way. Every time we donate blood, it can save the lives of up to 8 babies.

O Negative is a universal blood type, so its used in emergencies and for premature babies.
