Can you donate blood while on your period?

if you feel fine then yes. By the end of your period you'll have lost around half a cup of liquid - which is a small amount.
The nurses who will be taking your donation will first give you a haemoglobin test to check your red blood count etc and to ensure that you are not anemic. As long as you pass this test you are able to donate blood. However, during and after your period these levels can decrease and so it is not recommended that you donate at this time. Feel free to go along because there is no way of telling whether or not your blood cell count would be lower than the donation level unless your are tested :D x


APPEAL TO INDIANS

Blood Donation is the biggest donation in the world. As we all know, tragedy occurs every other day and we hear about blood shortages. We cannot let people die short of blood. Our blood can give life to someone, someday. Hence, it is our duty as an Indian to stand up to the situation.
