Plasmaspende
I try to give blood on 13.06.2019 but my hemoglobin was too low 11,6 I would like to know when can I go and try again and do I have to wait 2 months or not ? I would give plasma if I can.
Thanks

Hi Mirjana, i had the same problem, but if you drink red juices, for example red grapes juice, the hemoglobin will get better very soon. Some month ago (I drank a lot of grape-juice-water-mix) my hemoglobin was even 17,0 (too high for a female). In my opinion it's better than taking iron pills. When I was pregnant and had to take iron pills, my body refused and I felt not good. Best Elisabeth

In this case you do not necessarily need to wait 2 months. You can give blood as soon as you reach 12.5. If it was just a wrong measurement you could give blood the next day. Otherwise, it takes quite long to recover from 11.6 to the minimum of 12.5 and I am sure you cannot reach 12.5 within a few weeks. When supplementing iron, 2 months could be realistic.
