Does Anybody Else Not Know Their Blood Group?

Not a clue!
:)

From repeated evidence-gathering multiple times a day from a variety of digits, though, I can confirm that it is red.
;)
 
Haven't got a clue! We used to have it on our dog tags in the Army but that was a long time ago can't remember :-0

Ashamed to say I don't, not the foggiest :(

Snap! Me too, I was told that we have a rare blood group, can't remember the percentage but it was under 5% of the population I think
My hubby is O rh negative, and he's always getting letters from Blood Donor Service to make sure he attends every six months to donate. I used to donate before t2

O rh negative. I found out after giving birth to my first child, I was given an injection of antibodies to protect any future pregnancies where the baby was 0 positive - apparently my antibodies would view O positive as an "intruder" and attack them. I only needed the jab after an O positive baby though - three of my five children were O positive.
 
A+. Gave blood before diagnosis and had trasfusions after giving birth. Fair exchange I suppose...
 
I've had 2 children but have never been told my blood type. Yesterday, I came back from holiday to find 3 messages asking me to phone the health centre. I was told I have an IGA deficiency and might have to carry a medical alert card, due to the possibility of having a bad reaction to any blood transfusions.:eek:

The good news is that my gluten free diet is working!:)

All I have to do now is stick to the diet and avoid any nasty accidents!:rolleyes:
 
BT O+. I follow the blood type diet loosely. I used to follow it strictly but I would say I am still 90%. It improved my health emensly but of course I do a low carb version. Happens that BT O should following ketogenic diet. Bingo!!

That's so true about mothers. Yvonne's is A Resus Negative, do quite rare and needed to know that when we had the children because of anti bodies I believe:)

Might think about getting a private test and putting it on my iphone's home screen with my T2 stuff ;)

I gave blood then was reminded my blood group at maturnity due to negative and positive dont mix i believe. An opposite rhesus can cause miscarriages in the following pregnancy. Its rejected as a foreign body.
