High leukocytes early pregnancy
I am around 4 weeks and see that my leukocytes count is very high around 15300 last time also around 8 weeks it was 14000 and i had missed miscarriage at 14 weeks.
Why are the leukocytes increasing for me every time in pregnancy and is there any way to control it.
My ANA, APLA,Lupus etc tests are negative and i don't have any infection symptoms
