I am very popular with blood banks, but have recurring low iron issues so I cannot donate as much as I'd like.
Boyfriend is A+, his brother is B+ (IIRC). Both are rarer in caucasian folks, from what I gather.
Also mosquitos love O type blood. Explains why I get eaten alive and Marshall is untouched.

I...have no idea. I should probably find out at some point. Is that just something you can ask to have done if you're having blood drawn for anything? Although come to think of it, I was probably typed before, as I've had surgery. I just don't know what I am.
Michael is AB+. He wanted to donate, but found out he couldn't due to all of the vaccines he was getting for his deployment. Kind of bummed him out.

I found out because I was at a local outdoor event years back and Canadian Blood Services had a booth where they could determine your blood type with a pinprick. Then they'd give you some documentation about donating as an informational gesture.
I believe you can request it of your doctor or by contacting your local blood services place.
A lot of things can inhibit the ability to give, which kind of sucks. I've donated several times but my iron levels are a bit of a gamble each time.

I have known since I was a kid because when I was born the cord snapped and I lost a lot of blood. They wanted to give me a transfusion but it was during the AIDs epidemic so they didn't and I ended up on supplements and soymilk for forever.
I also typed myself a couple years back in microbiology and it came back the same.

I donated blood once in high school, and got a card with my blood type on it. I have no idea where it went, and I can't remember my type. I think it was A something.
I donate plasma twice a week and you'd think that my blood type might have been mentioned/come up on all my paperwork, but it never has. haha.
