Hiya....I know it's so hard not to worry like mad when it comes to medical things but the best thing to do is chat to your GP, they know your history and indeed what could be contributing factors. Everyone is so different and I know I'm a terrible one for googling things and then nearly being sick with my self diagnosis!!

Don't spend the next 4 weeks in a worry, get down to your doctors and ask them to advise and support.

You'll be absolutely fine lovely xxx

Ah you can get stuff like this if you've had virus or cold and flu or being bit run down. I know people who have had similar issues and been fine. Try not to worry too much as am sure if doc was worried they wouldn't be leaving you 4 weeks. Like the other Geek says thou if you are very worried make a doc apt, take any questions you may have and they can hopefully reassure you xx

My younger sister has hereditary spherocytosis which is severe anaemia , she gets really ill if she's run down she's had loads of hospital visits from the age of three she's twelve now , don't worry I know it's not easy to not think about it but try not to panic , we all tend to think the worst with medical issues Xx

If there is one thing I have learned to my cost it is that Google is not your friend medically. One Google of loss of appetite 3 years ago has led me to to health anxiety that's ruling my life. I would go back to your doctor and talk to him as the chances are he will put your mind at rest. It's routine to check again with unusual blood results and I'd hazard a guess if he had any concerns of anything more serious he probably wouldn't have decided to wait a month on another test. That's just my thoughts of course. Xxx

I've had a low white cell count before and found out it was some medication I was on was causing it so once my dose was altered it was all fine. Could also be that you've had a virus or something.

I had a very low white blood cell count when I was pregnant with twins, it sorted itself out within a couple of weeks

Don't worry. There are different types of white blood cells and if your doctor is happy to repeat bloods in 4 weeks it's unlikely that he/she considers it serious. I have consistently low white blood cell count for 14 years since having glandular fever as a teenager. Take an immune supplement (Vitabiotics are good) and you'll be grand, no worries
