It's surprising how many people generally don't know their blood types. The only reason I knew when my obgyn asked me last week was because I remember being told by mom that I can take anyone's blood if I ever needed it!
I'm AB+ the universal receiver. What are you?

@mrsjyw: @chopsuey119: Not universal blood donor, but if you wanted to be an organ donor, then you're universal.

A+, I gave blood about 5 years ago and the American Red across sent me a card with my blood type on it!

all I know is that I have a negative Rh factor since I had to have the rhogan shot after my MC's. Pretty good chance I'm O- since that's what my dad and bro are. I'll have to ask my OB next time I go.

I am O+, I think I have always known, my parents found out when we were babies and we were always generally aware of it (maybe because 4 out of 5 of us in our family are the same blood type).

DH and I are A+. It drives me nuts that I haven't been able to find out what LO is, but I would assume he's the same as us.

I'm A+, I used to donate blood, even though my type is very common. DH's is also A+, but he's not exactly sure.

O-, universal donor! Just got treated to a Rhogam shot earlier this week as a result of that negative sign.

I'm an O something, and I only know because I had my blood drawn during my yearly woman exam since the hubby and I thought we were going to TTC earlier.
