A normal study would reveal a thyroid gland of normal size, shape, position, and uniform texture.
I think it means you have higher than normal thyroid horomones during gestation.

What is Hypoechoic to Isoechoic Nodule
A thyroid nodule is simply a mass in your thyroid. Hyperechoic is a term used in ultrasound which determines how bright or dark the nodule is. Ultrasound is all black, white, and gray scales, so a hyperechoic nodule would be a mass in the thyroid that is BRIGHTER than the rest of the thyroid tissue.
When there's an overgrowth of normal thyroid tissues, this is commonly referred to as a thyroid adenoma. The Mayo Clinic says it's not clear why a thyroid adenoma occurs but it is a type of growth that isn't cancerous. Thyroid adenomas sometimes form as a result of degenerated cysts, or fluid-filled cavities, in the thyroid.
I was told the same thing today and I can't find anything on the Internet about what grainy texture of the thyriod gland as seen via an ultrasound mean. Can anyone help?
Euthyroid means normal thyroid.
Assuming that this is the result of a thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) test, a 1.9 means that you are within the normal range. While a normal TSH varies from person to person, the range that is typically followed by doctors is .3 to 4.5. A .3 is on the hyperthyroid (overactive thyroid) end and a 4.5 is on the hypothyroid (under active thyroid) end of the spectrum. Talk with your doctor if you have any questions or concerns as it relates to your thyroid condition and symptoms.

This means they found a mass of skin on your ultrasound. Your uterus can sometimes grow masses. They can also grow cancers.
IVC WNL on an abdominal ultrasound likely means the inferior vena cava appeared normal.
For some reason a person with higher than normal thyroid hormone levels may have an autoimmune disease called Grave's Disease, an inflammation of the thyroid gland, or has over used thyroid medication.
