Not online: unfortunately you won't get an answer for a bit complicated case as yours on this limited platform and not online anyways. You need to be approached by a team comprising an OB/gyn and a hematologist or an internist experienced in blood diseases, in addition to rigorous follow up with labs monitoring your blood status. Start with your PCP who can manage / coordinate your care, good luck
