Does birth control contribute to a high platelet count on a CBC test?

I recently got blood work done to check if I had early onset diabetes, but my results came back normal.  At least normal enough, except for my platelet count.  It was higher, and I am concerned and looking for answer with anyone who has experienced birth control messing with blood test results, and whether or not going off it would lower my platelet count?
