I have tried to donate loads of times but no clots available in the vicinity
Then , about 6 months ago - a slot was there and I booked it
when along but apparently my 'blood levels' were too low
had to go to GP and get a blood test - which resulted in taking some tables for a few months
then nothing - no idea if the tablets have worked or not
will have to ring the GP and see if it is worth trying again
You don’t want clots if giving blood
Just go along, they’ll test you there, levels can vary day to day. I believe the NHSBT threshold for donation is higher than what is considered the bottom of ‘normal’
presumably you took iron tablets?
