Your Thyroid and the Pill
| Thu, 03-25-2004 - 10:04am |
Hello! I was reading Dr. Adkins book the other night. I found an interesting fact in there stating that your thyroid can actually be affected by taking birth control pills and that can be the cause of weight gain while taking the pill. Does anyone know if there is any truth to this fact? Also, do you think you would have to be on the pill only a short time for something like that to happen or would it be over years? Can you still loose weight if you have a thyroid condition? I am not saying I have a condition like that but if I get tested out for it and find out that I have that, can you still loose weight if you have a problem like that? I was considering going back on the pill also beause I am off of it now. Thanks!

Just thought i'd add this little bit of info.
