Diagnosed during pregnancy, H.pylori treatment, need advice

Hello to everyone! I just popped in to say that I'm Ok. My last count in May was 251K. So I'm 18 months in remission!
I also have a qiestion: can a person get in spontaneous remission several times? Are there people who tend to get in remission? Or does ITP get worse after every relapse or never go away after relapse?
Best of luck to all of you! And lots of platelets!!!

Hard question Natasha. We need some way to ping Sandi when these sort of questions come up.
Still, 251 is a fantastic count. Maybe the whole ITP thing was more about pregnancy than anything else?

Cheers to no more ITP !

Thank you, Hal! I really believe that my ITP was triggered by hormone changes during pregnancy. I would forget the whole thing with pleasure if I didn't plan one more baby in the future.

I checked out changes in your ITP types. That's very interesting!

I would love to have Sandi's answer, but as far as I can see she is not as active on this forum as she used to be.

ITP in pregnancy is quite common and often goes away afterwards. I used to work in an antenatal clinic and saw it quite a lot. Usually it would come back in another pregnancy but was successfully managed.

Natasha, I like JJ's answer.
ITP and pregnancy is such a big wild card. One woman I read here ('Katsim') actually had her ITP go into remission while pregnant. Oddly as well, taking the pill would cause remission too. Anything can happen it seems when ITP is mixed with pregnancy.

I'm just hoping that 'CRISPR' technology will one day save us all from chronic ITP.
