Ok, I don't know if this is a really dumb question or not, but I just started taking the pill, and I wanted to know if I can still donate blood without any problems. Does anyone know anything about this? Any response is MUCH appreciated.

Hi,
I've been on hormonal birth control for nearly twenty years, except a break to have my baby. I donated blood regularly during that time except when I was pregnant. I also coordinate blood drives for my company.
No problem at all, and good for you for donating!
