Thyroid

Anyone ever have to get a biopsy on their thyroid after giving birth?

No, but I am hypothyroid. What was the reason they gave you for testing?

They found a mass on my thyroid

Good reason. Sorry I have no advice. I have an acquaintance that had hers removed about 6 months ago but I don't know the story behind it.

It could be a cyst and nothing to worry about.  Have you had an ultrasound or nuclear medicine thyroid scan?  I'm a nuclear medicine tech and I have Hashimoto's disease.

I've had to pre-pregnancy but never post pregnancy. I go twice a year for ultrasounds on it and will get biopsy's on it if something comes up 'suspicious.' Has only happened once, though. Like PP, I have Hashimoto's.

Well I got a biopsy on it today- now waiting for results-

Message me if it comes back needing treatment. Had mine removed august 2012- with a positive for cancer. Had a bilateral neck dissection done December 2012 with 44 positive lymph nodes (of 58 they removed). Obviously scared me a ton and I struggled for acceptance. However, 2 years out and I am 22 weeks preggo with twin boys, happier and healthier than I have been in ten years. I only have check ups every 6 months and everything is going well!
