No: It is not uncommon for one parameter to lag a little behind or be a little ahead. They will follow carefully the growth through the next ultrasounds. Good Luck and enjoy your pregnancy!

Doctor said I should get a biopsy on my 6.5mm thyroid nodule. It's hypoechoic and nothing else suspicious on ultrasound. He said it's for "peace of mind". Is this normal practice for a small nodule?

Thought I felt a lymph node on collarbone after multiple bug bites. Have seen 2 doctors and both say no lymph node just vein and soft tissue. I might push for an ultrasound for my own peace of mind. What might I be feeling that they arent?
