I completely understand your frustration. My counts are slowly dropping and I think that the only reason why I'm being taken seriously is because I've had AA before. Had I not, I believe that I would be in the same boat as you. I will tell you that I sort of pushed for a BMB to see if we could see if anything was going on. Now that I've had it, though, I can see why they prefer to wait on the BMB because now we have a BMB that didn't really show much. The drs. have said that a BMB taken too early may not show a thing which is exactly what happened to me. The drs. believe that it's too early to see what's going on yet. That may be the case with you. I would definitely push for regular cbc checks, though. There's no harm in checking your counts every 3-4 months and staying on top of it.
