Synthroid , Cytomel and Seasonique

HI, I have been on synthroid for over 6 years.  In the last year I went to the endo, who given how I was feeling gave me 1.12 of synthroid and the smallest dose of cytomel, and I am on seasonique.  I had only been through one pack of the seasonique at this time with no bleeding/spotting.  Once I started the cytomel, the spotting started again.  The endo told me I should try a half dose of the cytomel.  That made no difference.  Now she told me to quit the cytomel and see if that helps.  Now I am getting a light period..... What she told me is that if cutting out the cytomel doesn't work than I will probably have to quit the bc pill.  Is there any problem with these 3 medications together?  She won't let me try the natural thyroid because she said if I have bleeding problems, natural could make it worse. What should I do?

I believe mixing BC and any thyroid is bad and really knowing what I do now with BC therapy is absolutely horrible for thyroid - and other things.

Why are you taking that medication?

What were your actual most recent thyroid lab results?  Usually if someone is on any form of estrogen, you will need a little more thyroid hormone.
I would rather have a period and feel good on my thyroid meds than not.
Most importantly is to know exactly what your Free T4 and Free T3 levels are.  :)
