Low White Blood Cells

My baby is 8 weeks old, and I had a blood draw before 8 days after she was born, and my white blood cell count was normal. Then, a month later, I had a low white blood cell count.

I have tried about 3 times and can only do about a minute as I find it too uncomfortable 😩 my baby is measuring big so I really want to try to keep going but I also read that if it causes you discomfort then to not continue?

Florence park phone

Beginning of something!?

Am I hallucinating…. I feel like I see the very beginning of something, or maybe an indent 😔 it was 5 mins after testing, but I didn’t have to pee much so maybe wasn’t the best sample. I’ll include more pics in comments - I’m 10 DPO and have been trying for 2 years 🤞
