Paper thin shell, lost in her face

[venta]

This lunchtime, Sysadmin #1, ach and I went to Blood Donors'.

They wouldn't let ach give blood, he'd just come back from America (which you'd have thought would be safe).

They wouldn't let me give blood, apparently all my Haemo Goblins have gone away. I failed the approximate Hb-level test, then failed the more accurate one. Now I just have to wait for the blood sample I gave to get sent off to their labs for even-more-accurate testing, to see if it's a serious problem or a minor glitch :(

(Oh, and kate_r, I bit the bullet and filled out the Bone Marrow Donor form - only they wouldn't take it because I failed their tests :( Maybe next time...)

Ah well. Sysadmin #1 gave blood. Me and ach did the only sensible thing, and went to the pub to wait for him. No, we didn't miss the irony of gaining a pint instead of losing one.

Ph no your asking me to reacall info from a couple of weeks ago

I think it's 35 which seems a little young to me. I've also heard that it's extremely painfull but it seemed a reasonable way round the 'I've just hit 60 and now regret not having kids' scenario without the actual requirement of having them. Then again from what I can tell there's a fair few donated eggs that never go on to be sproglet and are diverted to 'scientific research' use.

35 is the age at which the odds of "interesting" things happening to a woman's beebies begins to increase sharply.

I'm guessing that's something people don't look for in their donated eggs.
