Tanwen Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I always thought my blood type was AB-something, and I was kinda bummed, 'cause it's not that rare. Dx But it turns out that my mum has B+ and my dad has B-. Now I wish I has AB-something blood! But that's impossible...Wonder what I do have though. xD I think you'll be Group B, but you've a 50/50 chance of either neg or pos. Now had your mum been the neg and your dad the pos you'd have known because she would have been monitored through the pregnancy for antibodies (produced if the baby is pos and the mum is neg) Link to post Share on other sites
Preskom Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I gave blood months ago, mainly because I don't mind and I wanted to know my blood type.. They said they would tell me by mail when they send the card... The letter never mentionned my blood type. "Thanks for your blood, you are a good person, give us some more please?"

skenasis Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I always thought my blood type was AB-something, and I was kinda bummed, 'cause it's not that rare.

But that's impossible...Wonder what I do have though. xD I think you'll be Group B, but you've a 50/50 chance of either neg or pos. Now had your mum been the neg and your dad the pos you'd have known because she would have been monitored through the pregnancy for antibodies (produced if the baby is pos and the mum is neg) Actually, there's five possibilities! Based purely on probability, the most likely is B+. The next most likely is B-, followed by O+, O-, and finally the ever-elusive Bombay. Where did I get the Os from? Simple - the dominant/recessive system I mentioned in a previous post. And Bombay is always an option (albeit extremely rare) because the allele that causes Bombay type is in a completely different gene. However, the O types are only possible if both parents are BO rather than BB. One or both parents being BB limits the options to either B+, B- or Bombay. You are right about the Rhesus factor on both counts, though.Sorry to make things complicated >.< Link to post Share on other sites

Astryda Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I'm O- and always wished I was AB-/+ because it would have made me rarer, and therefore "weirder" [a plus, in my mind...] lol :lol: 0- is probably the rarest in my country so You are welcome here :lol: (my mother has 0- too I guess).

Valentyne Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 O- ...so I can give to anybody and everybody, but only get blood from another O-, a type of blood which is fairly rare and that they give to everybody else...memo to self, do not suffer from massive blood loss.
