Any thoughts on donating blood while TTC? I was planning to donate blood today, because I've been reading about all the cancelled blood drives due to Sandy and figured it was one little way I can help. But I just thought about it this morning, we are TTC, I'm O-ing any day now, so should I not?

I'm all about living my life as usual while TTC, but maybe taking a pint of blood out at the same time that I could possibly have some egg fertilization going on isn't good? Or am I being crazy? I actually did mention it to the midwife at my annual visit last week, but in terms of when I can donate with the flu shot, never occurred to think of it in terms of TTC and O.
