It depens, obviously its not good to loose more blood, but with donation they check your safe to give the blood in the first place with some sort of haemoglobin level test. You should be ok, I mean like if you hurt yourself and loose a little bit of blood, but like any other case, loosing a larger amount of blood is bad for anyone. Does that make sense? :S xx

How much blood you can lose safely varies from person to person. All I know is that if you are n certain meds or anaemic it can reduce the amount of blood you can lose safely. Sorry I can't be more help. Try and stay strong sweetie. X

It is impossible to tell how much one person can lose in a day.
Peehaps for a couple of days you could maybe try some other techniques, such as holding ice.
If you do have to cut, make sure that you appy pressure to the wound as soon as possible in order to minmise blood loss.

Take care
