I have been taking levothyroxin(50 mcg) for almost 2 years (from aug,2006-jan,08) as my first pcp said that I have slight hypothyroidism(after doing my blood work).Then I stopped taking the meds since Jan,08 and discontinued it till Oct,08.Went to see a new Doc and did my bloodwork .This is the new doc is saying I have absolutely normal thyroid result, he wouldn't understand why I was given that meds.He asked me to do an untrasound of thyroid to double check as I told him that I have plans to start trying to conceive from Dec,08.I had my period on 14th,dec,08 and tentatively my ovulation period will be somewhere between 29th Dec,08 and 2/3 rd Jan,09.I have an appointment for the ultrasound on 23rd Dec,08,but unfortunately the date I have got for thyroid uptake tests are 29th and 30th.I wanna try on my fertile days.So is ultrasound good enough to make sure I don't have a thyroid problem.or I have to take the uptake test too.If not, Then I can starting TTC asap.the reason I am asking this I remember my doc asked me to do the ultrasound only, but the front desk staff who does all general formalities marked the prescription page .She could found the word thyroid twice, once for ultrasound and one time under Neuro..uptake category and she marked both.Not the doc marked those options.In description she wrote "Thyroid Nodule".She even didn't know about the ultrasound n all.I only asked her what doc told me inside for an ultrasound.I am very confused if I really need that uptake test or just ultrasound is good enough.Also how soon I can ttc after ultrasound is done. Same question if I have to take uptake test eventually.
Lastly should I call doc's office to check with em what actually my doc has suggested.he didn't write anything in my file. So I even don't know if he can recall what to do about my case.Plase help me to clear my doubts.
Thanks a lot
