low platelets and endometrosis

Hi Ladies...

Wondering if anyone has had issues with these 2 things? Or even period problems while having low platelet count.

Is taking a contraception pill a good idea?

I have already lost an ovary due to endometriosis (end of last year) ... and recently have been experiencing the familiar pain and dark discharge in-between periods. But my count is much lower now (22) which is causing me a bit of concern.

How do I know that I'm not bleeding out inside?

However, it has settled down again this time. But I dread my next period. I am seeing my Hematologist on Friday, and have spoken to my GP already. Will see what my Hemo suggests.
