How Hypothyroidism Affects Your Menstrual Cycle

Mine are never consistent and since starting an anti depressant as well as taking levothyroxine, it hasn't gone away in about 3 months 😭

Mine were SO IRREGULAR!! I’d have some that lasted 3 days and others that lasted about 14 days. Then I could go from 2 weeks to 3 months without anything! Then I would suddenly start spotting for a few days and just as suddenly it would stop. Cramps were always a crap-shoot as well. I could have extended periods with minimal pain or short ones with cramps so bad, I couldn’t even get out of bed!! But once I started taking birth control and reigning in my thyroid with Levothyroxine, things got very regular very quick! Now it’s every 28 days for 3-5 days, and the cramps are pretty standard but not unmanageable

mine are down to 1 or 2 days now

It has made mine irregular and very heavy at times

I had a few months of irregular, heavy periods, before getting my diagnosis, I wish someone would have connected the two earlier… I do have to say that after I started my replacement drugs, it got much better and quickly!

Mibe were absent for years.. shortly after taking thyroid meds the first time.. they came back

It sent too soon (tell me if you know how to delete your own comment). Mine are heavier AND longer. 8-10 days usually

Mine are irregular, sometimes longer, sometimes absent.. I hate it! How do you deal with it?

My menstrual cycles are longer than they were before… 😥

It made mine heavier! Are you experiencing something similar?
