I've got a 14 mm thyroid nodule in my right lobe that's grown by 2 mm over the last 1.5 years. A FNA in September 2014 showed it was an adenomatoid nodule with cystic degeneration and there was scant thick colloid in the smears. The FNAC in November 2014 showed suboptimal cellularity. I had a CT scan recently for my neck, and it came back completely normal. My thyroid tests from a few months ago were also normal. Should I consider getting another FNAC or is surgery the next step?

I'm in my ninth month of pregnancy and my TSH level is 5.15. Should I be concerned about this? Is there anything I need to do or watch out for?

A TSH level of 5.15 during pregnancy is slightly higher than the recommended range, which is generally 0.2 to 3.0 mUL in the first trimester and up to 3.5 mUL in the second and third trimesters. Its important to discuss this with your doctor, as elevated TSH may indicate an underactive thyroid, which can affect both your health and your baby's development. They may recommend further tests and possible treatment.
