Hi Kamara,
In general, SAA is a very frustrating disease to deal with....lots of "watch and wait" especially if your results are not clear cut. It is important to get the right diagnosis though. And pregnancy complicates everything. Pregnancy can be very hard a women's body and can take quite a while for it to recover...nutritionally and hormonally.
John's doctor told us that bone marrow cellularity was mostly used to rule out MDS and cancer. And that people with low cellularity can still produce normal blood counts. So peripheral blood counts are really more important than bone marrow cellularity once it's deemed the BM cells are normal. As a point of reference, in John's case his BM was 20% and his counts were much worse than yours.
