Giving blood

[napamermaid]

Just wondering if anyone would have any views on the fact that i gave a pint of blood night before ovulation. Do you think it coyld have affected conception

I tried to give blood at 9dpo in January and ended up getting rejected mid donation as my blood was running too slowly and was clotting. I was pregnant so wonder if that was connected? I had an early miscarriage that month just before 5 weeks so won't be giving blood again during the TWW even though theres likely to be no connection at all.
Before ovulation you'll likely be just fine.

No I don't think so. We're you stressed about it?

 

[napamermaid]

Yes totally.

 

[dogmommy]

I know stress can affect it. Did AF show? You could have ovulated later.

 

[napamermaid]

Yes it did showed bang on the 28 day timeframe
I wasnt charting so amnt sure of ovulation

It's unlikely to affect ovulation at that point, but if you do get pregnant you might want to ensure you get your iron levels checked. Often women don't have huge stores to begin with and you'll drain them building blood for the baby.
