There should be a record of your blood type in medical records. they usually type you at birth. I was told my kids blood types at birth due to testing required in certain states. I even found my blood type in my records given to my mother with the birth certificate. However if you have ever had your blood drawn they should be able to tell you. Again it should be in your records but you could just as easily donate blood which is really needed and they will tell you and you could help others out in the process. that is if you are of legal age! what type are your parents ? it would have to be one or the other or a combination of the two but the rh factor usually comes from the father (+ or -) but it is best to be 100% sure so donate blood and it cost you nothing and helps others plus you will know your blood type. i am a+ spouse o- kids are a+,a- and o- i hope this helps you understand how it works and you findout your blood type!

You could donate blood and then call a few days later and they can tell you your blood type.
My sister got a test on line that you mail a sample of your blood in and they send you results, I think it was only $10.
But you should donate blood anyway, so I would do that.

Go to the Red Cross and donate blood. They will determine your blood type before you donate.

You can also donate to a plasma center, they actually give back your red blood cells and keep only the plasma (the watery part) They have to do a physical before you donate by a trained nurse, and they pay you 20.00 bucks for doing it. Plasma is used in alot of medicines that save lives.

Depending on your age, you can donate blood at Red Cross. They will determine your blood type and send a response (donar card) in the mail.

You can't!! Even a free clinic has doctors on staff. You might try one of these "Any Test Performed For $20.00" places. They could possibly do it for you.

If both your parents are type O, then so are you. If they are anything else, you have to have a test done to determine what you have.
