hyperthyroid and estrogen
Thu, 10-07-2004 - 7:18pm
Okay...have been trying to lose weight for 4 months and have only lost 12 pounds. I have been doing weight watchers and have been doing really well with it. well, if you don't count that I am not losing weight.

Anyway, i went to the doctor yesterday and they thought my birth control was giving me too much estorgen and that can cause weight gain. They also said that my blood work showed that my thyroid is T13...or whatever the terminology is...anyway, what does this mean. That I am staying the same because they counter balance the other?
