Doctor's Follow Up
I went back to the doctor’s office today. The results from my blood tests came back negative (which is good). Although my platelet count did rise from 116 to 125, it is still quite low. I also have slightly elevated levels of protein in my urine, which isn’t good either. However, because the blood tests came back negative- my body isn’t attacking itself- and I don’t have high blood pressure, they have no idea what is causing it. So they decided to do nothing for now- as long as I don’t get any of the other symptoms- high blood pressure, uncontrollable headache, large spots in my vision, or severe pain in my upper right abdomen. I got my blood drawn again to continue to monitor my platelet count and I got an appointment scheduled in two weeks. For right now we just wait and see. As my doctor said “Everything (in my pregnancy) is perfect, besides this.”
