I know I am being paranoid....

I am on day 77 post 10/10 unrelated BMT for aplastic anemia. My platelets had hit an all time high of 156 but currently have been dropping now at 92. Do I have anything to worry about? This isn't a sign of rejection is it?

I was CMV positive and on twice daily iv Ganciclovir, which did drop my white count and ANC as a side effect. Finally my CMV came back negative so they were going to start oral Valcyte to prevent the CMV from coming back but they held it to help my WBC/ANC rebound, which it has. But now my PLTs are dropping so this couldn't be from all this could it?!? It just doesn't seem to correlate with the timing. I have now restarted the Valcyte.

I guess I am just nervous as I feel I have had a pretty smooth sailing so far.
