Hi doctor, I am a 30 year old woman. I have recently lost a pregnancy at 19 weeks due to membrane rupture. I had induced abortion with Misoprostol two weeks back and there is no complication since. I have had a CBC done almost every week from the starting of my pregnancy and they were all absolutely normal. A month back I had normal complete blood count with WBC 7.5 and neutrophils 5.2. After abortion, I had some trouble with being quite tired and sleepy, hence I have repeated the CBC yesterday. Everything came out the same except for the WBC which is now 4.7 and the neutrophils are 2.28. I have been very stressed out with the abortion experience and I am very much disturbed, depressed, tired and sleepy both during and after the procedure. The OB/GYN did not seem concerned, but I was surprised by the drop. I am worried that this drop in neutrophils might be something more worrisome like leukemia. I do not have any fever, flu or cold for many months. I took Propylthiouracil for a few months recently but stopped right before the abortion. I had a urine culture yesterday which is also clear. I have no other symptoms but some pain in the lower abdomen which the doctor said was normal after the abortion. I had a similar neutrophil count three years ago. At that time it was 2.15, so it is not unheard for me. But I am more concerned about the quick drop. Is it something I should be worried about? I feel so tired and overwhelmed by all that happened with the pregnancy. Kindly help me.
Hi. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows: No treatment necessary. Continue with regular schedule. Relaxation. For further information consult a hematologist online.--->
