Menstrual Cycle
by mich183, Jul 16, 2009 05:54PM
After starting Meds I have had cycles on average 50 days. I thought after you got ones levels into range the menstrual cycle was supposed to normalize. I have had about 3 50 day cycles since I was diagnosed and started meds. Before my cycles were 37, 49, 34, stopped taking birth control in mid October. Was just wondering if anyone knows if this is normal for a women with hypothyroidism?

How long have you been on medication? It can take a while for it to really kick in. It may need to be upped a bit to help reduce the hypo. It may also be an idea to get your female hormones checked too. The pituitary gland is responsible for the release of female hormones. Often if you are hypo these will be off as well, as the pituitary gland releases TSH. This hormone is often high in numbers when you are hypo.
Hope that helps a bit!
The reason I came off the Birth Control was because we were trying for a baby. I know I want my level in control before that happens now. But having my cycles some what normal too. I can't even tell when I am ovulating.
