Blood Donation
Im getting married by the end of this year and someone advised me to stop donating blood as it can lead to irregular periods and problems in conceiving (this lady had similar problems and was advised by her gyn to stop blood donation). Is ths something which happens to a lot of women?
my doc said just don;t give if you are gonna conceive in the next 8 weeks - just to be on the safe side - but other than that there shouldn;t be any problems
I can't say that I have ever heard of this....I donate blood as it is such a worthy cause and really the least I can do. My dr always says that you could use my cycles as a calendar that they are so regular, and my infertility is due to tube blockage nothing else. If you are concerned, I would ask your dr.
