What happens in a person's body if they receive a blood transfusion but don't already have blood loss? How much extra blood can a body handle? What happens if a person has too much blood?
What do you think blood doping is?
Look up TACO (transfusion associated circulatory overload)
Also for interest look up chelation needs for people that have frequent transfusions... Iron builds up over time.

If you're going to do that, use fetal blood. It has different haemoglobin, which will earn you bonus style points.

Isn't it more about increasing the red blood cell count to get oxygen to muscles more efficiently.

If you're going to do that, use erethropoitin to stimulate your own production.

If I use that, how much more often would I be able to donate blood? Could I go from 8 weeks to 6 weeks?

Depends what country you're in and what the donor acceptance criteria include.
Unless you're talking about just sending a bottle of blood to someone by FedEx or something...
