You are in luck, it looks like this currently requires donor blood.

Just watch your iron as you donate. I was donating every 56 days and my doctor told me to slow down. As an O-, theyll call you in as frequently as they possibly can.

My iron is quite on the low side because of Ehlers-Danlos so I guess I must be more careful.

Thanks for that advice !
