30, 60 and 100 days is normal for post BMT/SCT...

Doctors want to monitor the chimerism, and treat as early as possible... They can alter the medications you are currently on to balance the chimerism and minimize the effects of GVHD...

As with counts, as Dan said, the three blood lines go through cycles (WBC, RBC and PLT's) each has a different life span, and they can swing wildly sometimes as your body struggles to keep up with demand... Especially when you have active demands, such as infections, or when some medications suppress a certain line of blood...

All the Best, and may God Bless us ALL!!!
