Post the paper i cant find it, will look into it and see how it was written tho

https://www.uptodate.com/contents/covid-19-vaccine-induced-immune-thrombotic-thrombocytopenia-vitt/print#H82181942

Here one paper that does not advise testing for platelets or d dimers - I find this odd to advise not testing for these as opposed to just advising to not take results independently of other signs and symptoms.

Why would it be advised not to test for these?

I had a miscarriage on Tuesday, my first. I didn’t even know I was pregnant. The Dr. was just as baffled by the timing, but here I am. My head is trying to be practical, but my hormones are raging.
