 I seriously did not even THINK about it until after the fact....
see, I told you girls I was not going to stress out or overanalyze....I did so much that I forgot I was even in the 2ww...

No, don't worry about it. They screen all the blood so it's totally fine

Hmm...I don't think she is worried about her blood being contaminated; I think it is more about the fact than when you are pregnant you need more blood in your system to sustain the pregnancy.
Stephanie-if you are pregnant it is so early that I doubt it would matter!

yes, this was exactly what I was worried about. I looked online and it said not to worry if you gave blood prior to knowing that you were pregnant. That the doctor would test for anemia if I did indeed get pregnant this month

Re: Did I screw up????
I think it should be fine...normally they ask if you are pregnant or think you are pregnant if it will be a problem/factor to consider.
When I went for my flu shot at work I was in one of the 2wws and they asked if I was...I told them I was hoping to be and the nurse said she could not give me the shot because of the mercury.
So...I do think that you are fine! Just mention it to your doctor when you get that BFP!
