We decided in February that we were ready to start a family so in April we really started trying. My cycles were messed up but I just assumed it was because I had just gotten off of birth control a few months before. I went in May to see my new Gynecologist and we informed him that we were TTC but I hadn’t gotten a period since March. Lost story short, he diagnosed me with PCOS and I had my hormones tested. They came back for high Thyroid Antibodies so they said it was Hashimoto’s but wanted to send me to an Endocrinologist just to get checked. I was supposed to go in July but had to push it back to September (that place is hard to get into). My first visit he immediately said my Thyroid was enlarged so he wanted an ultrasound and bloodwork done. During the ultrasound they found a “nodule” and he informed me that it was a little suspicious and I would need a biopsy done. So, I had my FNA biopsy done on October 3rd. Well 2 days before my biopsy my husband and I decided we would finally try Clomid because we really wanted things to happen this month. On Monday October 6th I went to get an ultrasound and she found a large follicle on the right ovary so we though things were looking up, but then I got the call the next day... my heart sank when she said “I’m sorry but your results came back malignant.” I’m 24 years old and celebrating my 1 year wedding anniversary In 6 days.

I just wanted to get pregnant, but I got cancer instead.

On a positive note, my first future child will have saved my life and made me a cancer survivor. If we never had the desire to start a family I would have never known I had Thyroid Cancer.

I’m having total thyroidectomy in two weeks and I truly can’t wait.

Next up, my miracle baby...
