Hi Arieschris,
I am 46 and I have also been diagnosed with early MDS in 2010 and like you I was told to watch and wait. You defiantly need answers if you want to get pregnant!! I have low wbc (lymphopenia with absolute neutropenia) and rbc (anemia). I have had two BMB one here in my hometown and it came back stating MDS could not be ruled out and the 2nd one was a done in Indianapolis, In. at a center of Excellence. I was disappointed with this particular one, I didn't even see a doctor. They did the BMB and sent me home. They then just called me and said that the BMB was normal. I emailed the doctor and he said there was no evidence of MDS at this time and that my dr. may be correct about the possible early MDS but not to worry because it may not manifest for another decade or so. I asked for copies of both BMB reports. Both pathology report stated there was evidence of dysmegakaryopoiesis, megaloblastic erythropoiesis, and increase in polyclonia plasma cells that may be a correlation with possible immunodeficiency, nutrition deficiency, toxins or drugs. My original dr. sent me to a disease specialist who ruled all of them put. From what I could I tell when I google some of the words, they populated MDS in them. So confused and very tired!!! I actually have an appointment tomorrow. I want him to go over both my BMB in more detail. Hope you find something out soon!
