A member asked:
Recent lab work showed a hgb of 9.7 and platelets of 411. i have heavy prolonged periods. should i be concerned about my platelets being elevated?

No, but ...: Your platelets do not seem to be a big concern, but a hemoglobinof 9.7 indicates a fairly significant anemia. It would be important to see your doctor to address that issue, by assuring that there are no other sources of bleeding, and seeing what is possible to cut back your heavy periods and/or increase your production of blood. Good luck.
