Im really confused about my dads D-dimer levels after his COVID recovery. His first test showed 1800, but we didnt find out until five days later. He wasnt showing any clotting symptoms, so we checked with a doctor who recommended blood thinners. We decided to get another test done at a more reliable lab two days later and it came back at 160. He had been taking dabigatran 150 BD during those two days. We re-tested after 15 days, and the D-dimer was 180. Im trying to figure out if the blood thinner could have caused such a big drop from 1800 to 160, or if its safe to just disregard the first test as incorrect and stop the meds. Could you help me understand whats going on?

View allI've been really concerned because for the past year, my platelet count has been stuck between 70 and 100, and my MPV is over 14. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on with my body and how I can get my platelet levels back to normal. Any thoughts on what might be causing this?

I've just gone through my general health check-up, and while everything seems normal, my lymphocytes are at 48, and the absolute lymphocyte count is 3312. Should I be worried about these high lymphocyte levels, or is this considered normal?
A negative HPT (Home Pregnancy Test) 4 days after IUI doesn't necessarily mean you're not pregnant. Possible reasons for a false negative: 1. _Too early_: HCG levels might not be high enough to detect. 2. _Insufficient HCG sensitivity_: HPT sensitivity varies; some tests might not detect low HCG levels. 3. _Diluted urine_: If you drank excessive water before testing, your urine might be too diluted. Wait a few more days (around 7-10 days post-IUI) and try testing again. If you're still unsure, consult your fertility specialist for guidance.

My platelet count has been stuck at 70,000 for 15 days and isn't going up, which is delaying my fracture surgery. I've tried caripil carica leaf extract, papaya fruit and leaf juice, kiwi, and giloy soup and tablets but nothing's working. What else can I do to boost my platelets quickly?
