low plts after transplant

I am frustrated by a lack of response on what would happen after the "watch and wait period".

It has been five weeks of receiving plts every four days. I have only required one unit of blood but hgb is dropping. While I totally understand and respect watch and wait to see if it will recover and this is all from the stress of the influenza, etc....but at what point does watching and waiting not become enough? And then what? I can't seem to get a straight answer....my bone marrow is 10-20% cellular and making no plts. My fear would be a second transplant as it seems I have AA again but with my donor cells and not my cells.....
