Hi there,

I was also diagnosed SAA, and treated with ATG. It took a good eight months for my platelets to reach the teens, and more than a year before they hit the twenties. Two years post-treatment, they are finally in the high 40s.

I've been told several times that the platelets are the last (cell type) to come back, and it certainly has held true for me. Don't be discouraged, they will improve. Try not to worry, there's not much you can do, and stress is never good for a healing body.

Relax about it, rest, and think positively!
