Increaed fluid intake immediately before and after a double red cell donation will help prevent most post-donation vaso-vagal reactions. A simple one-a-day vitamin with iron will help restore hemoglobin/hematocrit to acceptable levels within 3-4 weeks, and prevent iron deficiency following frequent red cell donations.

What is the normal recovery time for a blood donation from a woman who is 61?

T. Pottgiesser published in 2008 a study of recovery of hemoglobin in young men. The average to full recovery was 36 days. Range was 20 to 60 days. There is no evidence to point to faster, same or slower for a woman who 61 years old. Blood donation guidelines of the American Red Cross indicate that a waiting period of 8 weeks is required between standard (whole blood) donations is required. However, this is not the time it takes you to recover, but rather the estimated time to create enough new red blood cells to be able to safely donate again. This is measured as a hematocrit of 38% or higher. Recovery from the standpoint of the donor's health is likely to be much sooner. A person is only considered anemic if their hematocrit falls to 25% or lower. Recovery speed is based in large part on diet, especially the amount of iron and Vitamin C.
