  1.  @elspethwilliams7947  I was in the same situation, and Rhogam saved the day for us, too.

  2. I've donated 5 gallons of O neg over the years in hope that someone would be able to pay it forward.

  3.  @May-ul6eq  I have o-neg, but so did both of my parents. My heart goes out to you. It's bad enough to be o-negative and have the Red Cross come pleading for frequent donations. I have given 5 gallons, but probably won't be getting my six-gallon pin, at the rate I've been going, lately.

  4.  @raxtoma5309  As long as hemoglobin is passable, it is okay to donate during a menstrual period; I have, many times. The only odd thing is that the flow may slow or stop for a few days, then pick back up.

  5.  @marybaghikian7026  I have heard that having type O is protective from coronavirus, but I daresay it's not rare for us to get it. I worked as an RN throughout the various outbreaks and only now did I test positive for coronavirus. O-neg, here. My mother, son, sister, and husband are all type O and came down with it, too.

  6.  @teuwaiseu_jjang5160  The blood donation needle is big, but honestly doesn't hurt very much. Sort of feels like having a fingernail nick your inner elbow, then just the warmth of the blood in the tube lying on your arm.
