i want my red blood cells back...

donated blood at a clinic last tue and then i thought about the 3 months interval before the next blood donation. does having to wait 3 months means that our red blood cells count need 3 months to go back to the normal level? i went to research and im right......

'Since it takes 120 days (4 months!!!) to fully replenish the red blood cell volume, the minimum time for build up of a new red cell supply has been set at 90 days (3 months!!!)'

'Red blood cells are replaced by bone marrow into the circulatory system at a slower rate, on average 36 days in healthy adult males. In one study, the range was 20 to 59 days for recovery.'

im so sad....... i realise the interval between my blood donation and marathon is 12 days only... ive only got 12 days to replenish my red blood cells.....

now my red blood cells carry lesser oxygen, means i pant more easily and faster :(
