BW, I think it depends upon what you consider a "dive" in numbers. They are rarely static. My HB can vary by as much as 0.8 per week, HCT by 3%, platelets as much as 30K. I consider that normal, and apparently so does the physician. Maybe you can give us some numbers and the trends. The only thing I've ever noticed is the HCT and HB can go down a bit if overhydrated and up if I'm a bit dehydrated.
