      Well, i was bored and I saw this post on my Facebook regarding blood groups. There was a thread on blood groups almost 8 years back. Bumping that old thread is out of the question + it has that "I Don't know" option which is annoying since i am looking of accurate figures.

      Also, do we have any members with negative Rhesus factor?

            I have no idea and it's something I've wanted to know for ages but whenever I ask mum she's like 'you don't need to know' .____.

              Go donate blood? If you do, they can send you a donator card with it on it.

                  I've donated blood multiple times and I'm hemaphobic.

                  And it scares me shitless every single time.

                    Doesn't help that I regularly have to go to the doctors/hospital ever so often…

                    Even better. You can just ask them next time you go.

                      I donate blood whenever I remember my 6 months are up. Is it true you get paid when you donate in the USA? o3o We do it for free in Cyprus since it's.. donation and all xD

                          I've never heard of getting paid for donating blood, but you can get money for donating your plasma.

                            Get your inferior blood out of my face!

                            I actually don't remember my blood type. It's one of those things that I forget and then go look up, and then forget again the next day. I'll have to check…

                              Plasma donation I see is better done from AB blood type. And from what I remember it's quite rare to have AB, isn't it?

                              After I move in the USA, I'll look up other types of donation I can do apart from blood donation.

                                  What's this about getting paid? I wish I got paid for my blood. I do know that sometimes you get certain things like rewards or prizes or raffles for some blood drives, though.

                                    Thing is when I go there's nothing about blood so if I asked they'd be like 'That's irrelevant'

                                      You can only sell your plasma, but you used to be able to sell your blood too.

                                          You know, i wasn't hemaphobic before. Then one day, my friend, who is hemaphobic, described his experiences and how he felt when see saw blood. That same night, while i was trying to sleep, i was thinking about his experiences and fears. Since that night, i started to get scared the moment i thought about blood donations/blood tests. Some months later, i was diagnosed with Malaria. Obviously i had undergone several blood tests. It was dreadful. The sight of injection pen oozing blood from my arm terrified the shit out of me. To make things worse, it was not a normal blood test. The nurse took HUGE amount of blood compared to usual volume. From that moment, i wanted to be cured of Malaria just because of the fears of blood tests. God damn it was awful. The funny thing is, i am not scared when i see blood coming out of body wounds.

                                            takes out wallet Eh, my card says…...O+.

                                            I've donated blood twice at this point....once as a part of a high school blood drive, and the second time was at a local college. And thankfully, I've never passed out or felt sick in either situation.

                                              I tend to just shake uncontrollably. And no amount of rational thinking ever makes me feel better.

                                              Although, I've probably donated 10+ times.

                                                takes out wallet Eh, my card says…...O+.

                                                I've donated blood twice at this point....once as a part of a high school blood drive, and the second time was at a local college. And thankfully, I've never passed out or felt sick in either situation.

                                                Passed out on my first time xD; Didn't happen again tho.

                                                        A+ for me

                                                        I donated blood once. Even though I had a good breakfast and ate a good lunch about an hour and a half before donating, I got the most overwhelming nausea. I screamed for them to bring me a trashcan and I had the biggest panic attack (I don't do vomiting). I scared the poor girl taking my blood, this was her first day!

                                                        I should try it again, but that nausea was horrible. And anything relating to getting sick is enough to send me into a panic >_< I feel bad about that, though. I wanted to see if I could sell/donate plasma, but they told me I was ineligible. I'm wondering if having periods of being a little anemic just means I don't have enough blood for that. I'm pretty sure that was before I started taking iron regularly (since then I don't have a problem, maybe I could try donating blood again XD)

                                                          So many people here are A+.

                                                          That or they're the only ones that crammed into memory their blood type.

                                                                Well if Wikipedia is to be believed, the distribution is actually leaning more towards O+ although A+ competes with it largely as well. AB- appears to be the rarest, due to Rh antigen production being muted instead of being combined into a different phenotype like AB.

We don't get paid for donating blood in my country, but whenever someone donates blood that person gets treated to breakfast and/or some snacks, (depending on the time of the day) plus some cool freebies (stickers, pens and stuff like that) ha ha. And whenever someone has to be hospitalized for surgery or some procedure where they might need a blood transfusion they are asked to get two relatives/friends to donate as well.

I'm A+, but I thought when I was younger I thought I was told B+ after I got hospitalized when I was 8. But I could have just mis-remembered. I had to go to the emergency room because I woke up in the middle of the night and I was bleeding out my mouth. And I still had these weird circular bruises up my arms and my hip didn't work right. All this happened in one week lmao. They thought I had tuberculosis so all that blood testing…Blah.
