I want autologous blood and my dr's offiice does not like to do this. They indicate that I would not be able to donate enough before my surgery, that I could not start until 30 days beore and no closer than 10 days, and that I would only be able to donate 1 unit and will require at least 4, probably 6 or more. For those of you who have given blood for your own use, please, let me know what you did. What were the time frames?
It is important to me because I have been a Commit for Life donor since my kids were born because they required so many transfusion just to stay alive. If I have donated blood from another person, I won't be able to donate again for an extended period of time. This is just very important to me because it allows me to give back.
Please, give me as much feedback as you can. Thanks.
