First month on meds, weird cycle
| Sat, 08-14-2004 - 4:29pm |
So I've been diagnosed with hypo and on Synthroid (50mcg) for about 2 weeks now, and I've definitely noticed a vast improvement: no fatigue or nausea, reduced headaches. But I got my period and it is much heavier than normal. I'm also on BCP. Is that just my body adjusting, maybe?
I have a followup blood test and dr appt within the next 2 weeks.
Thanks!

When I was first diagnosed & put on Levothroid, I noticed an improvement right away, too (although sadly for me it didn't last)... and I have had a heavier period, too. I do think it's to do with the hormones... I'm told it takes at least 6-8 weeks to really know how your Synthroid dose is working.
