Anemia/platelets

I have been back and forward to docs since my six week check postpartum. I was anemic during pregnancy which I never supplemented for got a test done at 9weeks pp to show I’m still anemic. I started taking supplements for a week but went for more bloods which showed my anemia had slightly improved but my platelets were raised (428 should be less than 400). So doctor has asked for a repeat blood test which I have done but won’t get results till my appointment on Friday. I’m also getting results for a stool sample then too. I’m going out my mind and just want all these tests to be over. I looked back on my notes from pregnancy and noticed my platelets ranged from 370,325,300. In my first pregnancy the were always in the 200’s! I’m really freaking out any advice or similar experiences would be appreciated.

Hey, can I ask what happened about this in the end? I've had high platelets for at least the last two years but I've recently Googled and now I've really scared myself since it all mentions hideous things like cancer etc.
