When my son was recovering from Aplastic Anemia his bone marrow would spit out whatever it could, according to his Dr. - immature neutrophils, macrocytes, microcytes, ovalycytes, nucleated red blood cells. All of these sound like bad news when you google them individually but his doctor said it was fine. Polychromasia is a sign of immature blood cells but that means you are spiting out lots of baby red blood cells. You would expect to see macrocytic cells b/c the older red blood cells are smaller than the big, newer ones, and you are producing a larger proportion of newer ones. I agree that you shouldn't worry about these but I wish you'd gotten the explanation from your doctor.
