Generally speaking, yes, you can donate while on your period. As long as your HCT levels are within the range they consider a passing score. Most plasma centers require a 38% score in order to pass, and generally during your period you may have a low HCT level.

Ultimately, the ability to donate plasma is based on your overall and current health status, any conditions you may or may not have (or are unaware of), as well as your weight (many will not take super obese persons).

As long as you feel fine, drink plenty of water, and eat a balanced meal you should be fine donating on your period.

The only thing about donating on your period, is that the filter may clot a lot. You may wind up have more than one donation site.
