No this won't be a problem if you are safe to give blood (which you obviously are because you wouldn't be giving blood if there was some thing wrong i,e iron deficiency) then there will be no health risks in the future you body replaces the blood that you have donated anyway so you will be fine.

There want be any problems. Blood donation is perfectly safe as long as the standards set buy the American red cross are followed when donating blood, and you can donate whole blood every 56 days; blood platelets every 48 hours, up to 24 times a year.

As long as you're not iron deficient it shouldn't cause any problems at all. If you're at risk of iron deficiency (heavy menstrual bleeds, vegetarian) but managing to *just* stay in the healthy range then it's probably not a good idea.
