Look on your lab report and tell me what the reference ranges for the T3 and T4 are... I can't help you much until you tell me what those are. It should also say on your report if the T3 and T4 are Free T3 and Free T4.  

Hypothyroidism can cause erratic periods.

Thyrox 50

What are the reference ranges for the T3 and T4?  I need to know those in order to know if your levels are within the ranges or not.  I also need to know if your report specifies whether the T3 and T4 are Free T3 and Free T4.

Also, the thyroxin pills come in many different dosages.  I need to know what the dosage is, of the pill you're taking.  

Are your constipated (not having bowel movements)?  Is that why your stomach is getting larger?  The thyroxine pill should have nothing to do with your breasts getting smaller.

Yes i m on medication.the doctor adviced me to take thyroxine sodium tablets.in morning i m taking 1 tablet.

What are the reference ranges for the T3 and T4 tests?  Reference ranges vary lab to lab and have to come from your own report.  Also, were those free T3 and Free T4 or were the Total T3 and Total T4?  They aren't the same tests; it should say on the report and if it doesn't, then they will be total, which aren't near as useful.

Have you been diagnosed with a thyroid condition?  If so, what?  Are you on a thyroid medication? If so, what and what dosage?
