Anyone had high platelets?

I’m 10+1 and had my booking appointment last week where they took bloods. Had a call to go back next week to repeat bloods as it’s come back as having high platelets. I’m otherwise fit and well, saw baby and heard heartbeat on Monday when I went for a panorama test and all seems fine with him/her too.
Has anybody had this? I made the mistake of googling and there doesn’t seem to be a reason that isn’t sinister!

I had them at my booking in appointment. Midwife said it was probably as I had been ill recently. They retested me a couple of weeks later and they were back to normal.

Thanks @bk1981 . I haven’t been ill lately at all. I had an HSG in April, that’s as close as I’ve been to an illness or operation which is apparently a comment cause

Ah sorry I'm no help then! Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be along soon!
