New Platelet number

My midwife took my blood again yesterday and I got the results today. They are now down to 78,000.  This is so weird. They dropped from 108,000 to 97,000 one week and now this last week, they dropped almost 20,000 to 78,000! What in the world is going on??

I have no choice but to go on steroids. The nurse said that we will start the steroids today and then check them again next week. If they are not up by next week, we will go to plan B.  I asked her what plan B was and she said it would probably be a consultation with a perinatologist or a hematologist.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind meeting with these people just to get to the bottom of this!
