Fibroglandular Breast Tissue

What is Fibroglandular Breast tissue.
I had to have 4 mammograms and 2 ultra sound before they told me this is what they found.
I received papers from my doctor saying that I had this, but not in easy terms for me to understand.
Could you please break this down for me.

Hi,Im 28 yrs old,no history of breast cancer in my family,as far as i know.
I felt a lump in lower left breast,i recently had a miscarriage when i was only 6 weeks pregnant(so very early stage)
  GP sent me for ultrasound,ultrasound just showed fibroglandular breast tissue,thats what they told me.
The lump feels hard,but didnt show up on ultrasound.
i have requested a biopsy,but havnt got appointment yet.Is this the best thing to do?or should i wait?could it be due to early pregnancy?even though i lost baby at 6 weeks? please help,,,

Fibroglandular Breast Tissue is a combination of glands, milk ducts in the breast and the fibers that support the breast. Some women have more of this tissue than others. Breasts are usually made up of mostly adipose tissue (fatty tissue) but we are all different.
