Hi Loxy,

I could help but notice that you mentioned your WBC during pregnancy. Has your doctor suggested that the pregnancy may have caused your low blood counts? That is what happened to me, but I think my case was a bit more severe. My WBC when I was diagnosed during pregnancy was 6 and I was told that even though that was in the normal range, that it was really low for pregnancy, if anything your WBC should be high. My cellularity was about 35% and was told that was low for a 31 year old; however, my transplant doctors say that is normal. I think that it may be a case of what is "normal" for each patient and since there was no previous biopsy to compare it to, then there is no way to know what my "normal" was prior to pregnancy.

I don't know, I just thought I'd mention it. It sounds like you are doing well without any treatment, which is awesome and definitely something to celebrate! Just make sure you keep an eye out for signs of your condition worsening.
