Where's my Period??/
I am a 38yr old female. Diagnosed with thyroiditis in July. TSH levels at the time were 38.9 was put on 50mg of levoxyl.
in Sept tests came back at 4.4. I normally run around 1.0. The doctor up the dosage to 75mg. I have not had a peroid since sept 10..... Can these meds alter menstruation????? Thanks

May take a few months -- the hypothyroid causes menstrual changes, not the meds.
I don't think the meds will, but being hypo can. I know hypo problems are usually shorter & heavier periods, but mine are longer apart or missing. They tend to regulate more if my TSH is where it should be.
