484482 tn?1319378880 We have also been trying to get pregnant for a few months now but after the birth of my son on 3/15/09 my cycle ahs been off (always 1-2 weeks late). I thought that it was normal for your cycle to be irregular the first year after giving birth. I went to the doctor and after lab tests, I was diagnosed w/ hypothyroidism and was prescribed 50mg of levothyroxine. My cycle still seems to be 35-42 days long so my doctor suggested I go on birth control for a few months and then stop.
708731 tn?1229049180 There is alot of information on mixing birth control with thyroid medication. Simply, most information I came across says taking birth control meds will deplete your thyroid medication and lower thyroid function. May alter TSH testing. You may want to take a look at this old post from an expert side ( Doctor) here on Med Help http://www.medhelp.org/forums/mentalhealth/messages/30184a.
1063764 tn?1272821064 ) Which leads me to believe that I have an overproduction of hormones in my system. I am also on the birth control pill Kariva. I was told that they would not interfere with each other, however something is not right and I was just wondering if anyone out there could help me out. I can't get back to the endocrinologist for another 4 months for my next test, so I did not want to stop the medication. Does anyone know how long it stays in your body...
Avatar n tn I called Alli before starting to use their product and they assurred me that it would not interfere with my birth control. I take my birth control RELIGIOUSLY and have not missed , however this month my period is very very light. Can Orlistat and the pill be taken together without causing the pill to be ineffective?
3158366 tn?1343598616 Hmmm that's interesting. What meds if you don't mind me asking.
Avatar f tn okay so long story short I got off my birth control back in August. I have only had 2 periods since then. in the process I have found out that I have hypothyroidism and the doctor put me on 10mg of levothyroxine. we are trying but not being successful due to me not ovulating. any suggestions.
415098 tn?1214856836 ) Do you think im going to need to get my level higher or lower? I also do take birth control so should i stop taking that?could that be the affect of my problems?
Avatar n tn I had gone up from 190-220 over the summer 3 years ago, when I started birth control, and am still on it with weight steady at 205. With such a minimal dose of levothyroxine leveling out my TSH, is it possible I have another problem too.
Avatar n tn My cycle was every 29 days, without fail, prior to meds. Now? Maybe every 26, 27, 28...but never 29. Weird, but there it is.
Avatar f tn Birth control can interact with thyroid because they are both endocrine...... all hormones have to work in sync. Please post current thyroid labs, so we can better assess your situation. Be sure to include reference ranges, since these vary lab to lab and must come from your own report. Are you currently on a thyroid medication? If so, what med(s) at what dosage(s), for how long?
Avatar f tn Hello - I recently had lab work done, and am waiting for a follow up to discuss with my endo. In the mean time, I'm looking for other insights, and would greatly appreciate any help. I have no thyroid tissue left after two doses of RAI (5 years ago), and after stable treatment on Levothyroxine since 2004, I recently started having many hypo symptoms. TSH in December was around 5.5, then down to 1.5 in January after an increase from .125 to .
Avatar f tn I am 46 years old and have had a total thyroidectomy due to follicular carcinoma. I've been taking Levothyroxine for 4 years have had no noticeable problems except that suddenly in Jan I went for 60 days with no period. Prior to this my periods were getting closer together & sometimes a little heavier which can be normal for someone my age. After that 60 days I started spotting for 6 days then had 2 weeks of very heavy bleeding (almost 3 weeks all together).
Avatar f tn I found out last week I have hypothyroidism, I started levothyroxine sodium also last week. I'm on alesse birth control and was due to start my period yeasterday and didn't get it, it's always on time. The last time I had sex was in may and I used both a condom and the pill but I was late for the pill a few times that month, is it a higher possibility of pregnancy or just a late period from the new medication?
2181099 tn?1337874414 Since there is great Birth control methods out there dont make such a drastic change to ur body since ur even questioning urself.
Avatar f tn Hi i have been on birth control almost 6 months now. And i bleed for 2 weeks every period. The first week its just a brown mild red spotting because im still on birth control and then the second week when im on the brown pill is when i actually get the full on effect of my period. Today i got my period again and im still not done with my normal birth control so i decided to skip to the brown pills this week and start a new pack once my brown pills are done.
Avatar f tn Can I get birth control without having an exam? I want birth control to regulate my period. I have never been sexually active but my period can go for 5-9 days not heavy or light flowing. It also has a range of 21-30 days in between periods. I do NOT like to be touched and have never had a successful relationship because of it.
1801864 tn?1318097993 I know that birth control can make you feel pregnant. But do you guys think I should get a pregnancy test? Me and my boyfriend have been having sex almost everyday and his been cumming inside me. and I was taking my birth control on time for a while but my life is getting stressed and I've been taking my birth control when ever I remember I have to take it. My tummy has cramp like feelings and my nipples are tender BUT I know that birth control can make that happen. SO what should I do.
Avatar f tn They asked me if I wanted birth control and I asked if it would interfere with breast feeding. He said I could get an iud which I don't want. Or get on a pill that's just progesterone. My question is..is anyone else on the pill and having or not having a problem with breast feeding?
Avatar f tn Im just curious ... if i was on birth control for about 2 - 2 1/2 years , but now im tryin to get pregnant ... if i was on birth control for a while will it take me time to get pregnant?
7670156 tn?1401987192 re all pregnant and all, but yesterday at my check up my doctor said I should start thinking about what kind of birth control I want after my baby girl is here. I've never been on birth control (and still did very well, baby was planned) what do you ladies suggest worked best for you? I don't want to worry about another baby for a long while at least a few years. And that implant that goes in your arm scares me.
Avatar f tn Hey what kind of birth control are you considering after birth??? Has anyone ever been on the depo shot? How did your body react? My friend has done the depo shot two different times and each time she has gained alot of weight with it, anyone else experience weight gain? I would like to do the depo shot bc I know I cant remember to always take the pill but I already have a hard time losing weight any advice???

7019649 tn?1396792517 I was on the patch, ortho evra, it worked good I guess, I didn't end up pregnant again until I quit using it, I believe I gained weight on it though, its one of the side effects but I seem to be prone to gaining weight every time I'm on birth control.
