1st Trimester

Anyone who has had thyroid cancer, question-TIA

So at my postpartum check up after my last birth, my OB found a large mass in my neck. I later found out that this was cancer. I had a total thyroidectomy and received RAI treatment last April. I have been cancer free since and I am about to have another test done this month. It's the new thyrogen shot and blood draw. Anyway, this drug is still newer and I was just wondering if anyone has been through something similar and was able to conceive after. I plan on speaking with my dr as well, I am just curious what other survivors were told about TTC. Any info would be helpful. Thank you!

  • my situation is somewhat different (I posted a thread on it a few days ago).

    I also had a total thyroidectomy after finding two masses (found out after the surgery that it was not cancer) but it's better to be safe than sorry, or so the doctors say because the chances that at least one of my masses would eventually turn cancerous was inevitable. I am now on synthroid (137mg) daily.

    I am now 10weeks2days, and conceived in our first month of trying. I just went for blood work today, this is my fourth blood test since finding out I was pregnant. My endo said I will likely have to go every 2-3 weeks to ensure my levels are where they should be.

    I don't know if this is at all helpful to you or not.
