Oh my G.d! I just went to the RE office today for somemore blood tests. And I have low throid... is that hypothyroidism?. I checked on the web and I'm still not sure.. I have an appointment to see the RE NEXT month. I'm gonna see if I can see him sooner. BUT, I had NO idea that your thyroid could make your breasts discharge. I have had it for YEARS! and no doctor"S" have told me that it could be my thyroid. They all said get a mamogram... I thought it had to do with my PCOS. Thank YOU! All of so very much for being here... and sharing your stories. I have learned so much! And at least now I have some idea of what to ask the doctor and not appear to be completly clueless! You women have helped me more in the last few weeks than ANY doctor has in my whole life. AND I used to think that I HAD a good doctor! YIKES! Thank you so much. Tj
