I think the limit is 6 months. I had a transfusion at one time and simply waited a year afterwards. No problem after that. I've given several times since. I haven't given lately because I constantly have kids to care for and rarely get away. Can't very well drag 2 and 3 toddlers to a blood drive. Also I've been so anemic and even still borderline anemic after regularly taking suppliments that my Dr prescribed. They wouldn't take my blood right now.
