bruising leukemia symptoms?


bruising leukemia symptoms?
hi, I have been noticing that i am bruising easily, on my shins and knees. When I say it out loud, or type it i should say, I know it sounds strange for me to be thinking leukemia. I don't have any other symptoms really, I am an active college student who tries to exercise regularly. Just normal headache I get with menstruation and a heavy period, I was tested for anemia last year but the finger prick was normal.

I have been reading about petechiae and i notice i have three on my breast, but I am sure I have had them for years now, and have had routine checkups with doctors and they have never noticed it.

I am going to my OB next month, thinking about getting a CBC just to settle my over reactive nerves.

So i guess my question is, if someone had leukemia, there would probably be more symptoms, right?
