Default Tests are negative

I got my blood tests results back and they are all negative. I am not sure why my thyroid is enlarged if it is negative. I dont know what to make of it.

Carla, my thyroid was enlarged for more than a decade before any of my blood tests turned up abnormal. It's just something to keep an eye on, but try not to worry too much.

Do you know your exact TSH level?
I found this on the net
Quote:
You may have had a TSH thyroid test already run and been told that you're "normal." Don't accept "normal." Insist on getting the exact number, and the normal range for your lab. At many labs in North America, "normal" range is somewhere around .5 to 5.5 (with over 5.5 being considered hypothyroid, or underactive, and under .5 being hyperthyroid, or overactive. My endocrinologist (a 40-something woman with more than 15 years treating women with thyroid problems and thyroid-related infertility) believes FIRMLY that most women do not normalize unless TSH is between 1 and 2 (considered low by some doctors) and that a woman with evidence of thyroid disease can't get and/or maintain a pregnancy at a TSH higher than 1-2. (Note: I didn't get pregnant at 4, a level considered totally NORMAL, but got pregnant in one month at 1.2 and had my first baby in December of 1997.)
I found it here: http://infertility.about.com/library...y/aa060599.htm
While this is one person's personal account, The British Medical journal has also indicated that anything above 2 is abnormal here: http://bmj.com/cgi/content/full/314/7088/1175
