So I didn't get the biopsy today but I will be getting it done late October.  The dr. said that if he finds cancer, which he doesn't think it is, he can't treat me while being pg.  So there's no hurry there unless I absolutely have to know right now, which I don't.  I do have a slightly enlarged gland and bilateral nodules with a dominant nodule on the left side measuring 1.5cm X 1cm which is complex in tissue characteristics.  It has cystic as well as solid components.  All my blood tests came back normal so he has no idea what is causing my symptoms.  He said it could be 3 things- depression, drugs, or female hormone abnormality.  My progesterone at cycle day 8 was .44 which he said is kind of on the low side for that time.  I'm not hypo or hyperthyroid so I don't need any medications.  He can't really investigate further because the pg hormones would get in the way of results and not be accurate.  So basically I still no nothing!  He's not sure if this pregnancy will make it or not so the only thing I can do now is see my OB and let her know what's going on.  He also said that if I do have another m/c that I should see a fertiliy specialist which I was planning on doing anyways if I, god forbid had a 3rd m/c.  If you're going to get a cancer, he said that this is the one you want to get because it usually stays contained to the thyroid and doesn't spread to other parts of the body.  I'm baffled!  All I can do now is just pray for this pregnancy to go all the way. 


Thanks for all the prayers, they helped!

Hi Melissa,


You have a lot to think about after that appointment.
