Thanks for thinking of me Annie.
I would really not like more children. I love the two I have, I love that they're becoming older and getting to be able to do more things. The thought of having a baby again freaks me out.
If I can manage not to get pregnant between now and January I'm good.

Good work on upping your iron levels, April! I can never get mine up, so I'm really impressed!
I always want to give blood, but even if the MS didn't disqualify me, I'm sure my low iron levels would.
About pregnancy vibes, I'm in a so-so place about that right now. I mean, I absolutely do NOT want to get pregnant now, but maybe in a year or so ... lately, though, I've been re-thinking that. Three might be enough for me.

Eek! If it only drops a little, or drops and then rises again, they're supposed to centrifuge it to make sure your hematocrit is high enough. That's what they have to do for me 99% of the time. Mine always falls an inch or so and then comes right back up. Yesterday it just kept falling all the way until the bottom, though.Rachael wrote:Yay on your iron!!! I only gave blood once and it landed me on the couch for the rest of the day/evening. I was exhausted. My little blood drop from the finger drip only sank a little bit, but they said it was enough for me to donate.
You must have been low, and that's why you fainted. (well unless you're like Blush and Crystal and faint regardless) I think they're totally to blame for that one!
And thanks for the IUD vibes. I want one soooo badly!
