I know this is completely O/T, but since you all have been so kind about my situation, I wanted to again thank you and tell you some good news. Not about the thyroid, too early yet, but about the pregnancy.
After I updated my OB with the info about my thyroid, they were able to get me in to have my first sonogram 9 days earlier than originally planned. I knew this was going to a nervewracking day for us b/c the last miscarriage was discovered at our first sonogram when they just couldn't find a heartbeat.
Well, we got a heartbeat! A REALLY strong heartbeat! Baby is measuring exactly on time, and he/she was even moving a little bit. Because of my position, I didn't see the flickering of the heart at first and my heart sunk. But DH saw it right away, and started crying before even I did! Which startled me because I didn't know why he was crying!
The only teeny-tiny weirdness is that the due date is 9/11. Oooph. I think I will be lying about that one when we tell people.
We aren't going to tell anyone until after we have all the testing done, which will be right as we enter the 2nd trimester. So for now, it's me, DH, one friend, and all you peeps on the DIS!
I thought this would scare me -- the idea of being pregnant and potentially having cancer. But, at least for today, I feel stronger. Like I have hope and more fight in me than before.
Thank you again for everything.
