You must be donating plasma then. Whole blood donations can only be done every 56 days.

First time I donated, there were too other people there... one had a bad reaction and had to be treated, and the other's arm just wouldn't clot, so he ended up bleeding everywhere. Was wondering WTF I got into. Turned out alright though. Gave for the third time about two weeks ago.
