I tried doing it too but it's a lot more involved. I don't have this anti-D thing though. Just normal blood.
You need to go through an interview, a medical check and various forms.
Once I went through all that they told me I can't give any :(. Multiple sex partners, regular tattoos etc. I did want to and was prepared to do it regularly. I can see how they are having difficulty getting enough. But anyway I tried.
I wish they were better at screening blood so I could help.
