Your blood type never changes.
Certain medications can change your blood count sometimes, but never the type. Please ask your Doc for clarification.
Improved answer: Although blood type never changes, there are substances in the blood that can sometimes provide false readings, depending on the technique used for blood typing. In the British medical journal, The Lancet (vol 368, p. 1022; 9/16/2006), there was a report of a woman with lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus). Following a flare-up in her disease, tests were run and her blood type came back as AB. She said that her type had been A. After treatment, her blood type came back as A. The authors concluded that during the flare up, there had been a substance produced ("agglutinins that crossreacted to anti-B antibodies") that tested as though she had B antigens. But she didn't. This confounding substance just made it look that way. As mentioned above: your blood type doesn't change.
