Brief Answer:
Elevated reticulocites count

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I see the photo you attached of your reticulocites count analysis and two first values were elevated. This means that your body is destroying erythrocytes ( red blood cells) fast and the bone marrow is trying to replace them by increasing reticulocites.
Haemolytic anemia may be possible.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
