Is it ITP

Is it ITP was created by Megan15
Hello, a cbc a recently revealed low platelets. Platelet counts over multiple tests over 6 weeks were 84k 101k 81k and 103k. Three different manual reviews noted slightly different things: “giant platelets”, “platelets vary in size” and “large platelets present”. The one that noted giant platelets also showed an MPV of 15.3 (range 6.1 to 9.7). All other blood cells were normal. I met with a hematologist who thinks it’s chronic, stable ITP. Has anyone else had ITP present like this?

Yes, things like this are scary, for sure. A bone marrow biopsy may be helpful...

My MPV is between 10 and 12, which actually doesn't stand out  to me, since my lab considers range up to 12.5.

Not much else to say, except, good luck with your potential bone marrow biopsy! I hope it all works out. You're at a tough time, where things have not been figured out.
