A few follow up questions: 1. What tests are needed? I have frequently had blood tests that indicate that my white blood cell count is below normal, not by far though. My gynecologist and the college clinic ordered them after I tried to donate blood and the Red Cross wouldn't let me. I had to get monthly blood tests for about 6 months.

2. Would a family physician would be ok?

3. What could be causing this? >
