Been to the blood bank yesterday to donate blood. Quick test showed I could not donate this time. Iron was at 134 but must be 135 or above to donate. It’s probably due to surgery I had last month, and now i’ve been advised to wait 6 months. Somehow It makes me feel a bit sad and guilty.
And it’s good that you can’t donate with low iron. Some people need blood transfusions due to having extremely low iron themselves–sure don’t want them getting a unit with low iron!
