It was always a running joke anytime I did anything wierd, my dad would say I was the milkman's baby.

I just found out my blood type: O+.

My parents are both A+.

If you didn't know how blood types are determined, this would definitely look suspicious.

You're probably stronger now. Even when I'm under the 110 pounds weight limit to donate and nothing bad happens. They will let you know if you don't have enough iron before you donate at all. Just drink a few glasses of water beforehand ... otherwise it goes really slowly.

My body size hasn't changed at all since high school (which was just five years ago). Heck, it hasn't changed since I was about 13, with the exception of my boobs growing three sizes a few years ago due to hormonal birth control (which I don't take anymore).

The reason I don't think my iron levels are up to par is that I'm vegetarian, and I've read about many perfectly healthy vegetarians (I could do to have a healthier diet, but I'm working on it) being turned down for low iron levels, so...

That's odd, I'm mostly vegetarian and it has never been a problem. All you need to do is eat enough legumes and tofu really.

True enough, but some people in the medical profession can have a tendency to be "OMG! How can you be healthy if you're a vegetarian?!?!!" and completely overreact and not consider what the specific details of the matter are. But regardless of my iron levels, I wouldn't donate right now anyways, due to the objections mentioned above.
