Hi Sarah,
Are you on Sandimmune or modified cyclosporine?
What are your absolute neutrophil count and hemoglobin levels?
Did you have a bone marrow biopsy done?
While on cyclosporine, the doctor should be checking your cyclosporine trough levels, at least initially, to get the right dosage while avoiding toxicity. I wouldn't wait 3 weeks to check this. They should also be monitoring your kidney and liver functionality.
