Partner with graves disease

Hi, my partner has GD and has recently turned totally cold on me. I'm not sure if she has no feelings for me or if it is because of her graves disease. She won't talk to me at all at the moment and says she just needs time...She has also stopped taking the pill after many years and her hormones are all over the place and has started taking duphaston tablets.  has anyone here experience with theses tablets for GD and if yes, roughly how lng will it take until they take effect? Many thanks in advance.

Do you have your partner's thyroid labs that you could post for us, along with the corresponding reference ranges, so we can see exactly what her thyroid hormone status is?

Duphaston is a synthetic progesterone that's used for a variety of conditions related to the menstrual cycle, endometriosis, etc.  While Graves Disease can disturb menstrual function Duphaston is not the sole medication given to control Graves Disease.  

Graves Disease is controlled with anti-thyroid medications, such as methimazole or PTU; these are medications given to stop the thyroid from producing thyroid hormones.
