I have just received the results from a thyroid function test: TSH6.40, no wonder i was feeling so crappy: normally i feel ok when between 1-2. GP said I have to increase dose from 75/100 alternating to 100mcg daily.
I was just wondering if anyone (not just Misi, but she has been incredibly helpful on a previous thread) knows anything about a possibly link between progesterone-based contraceptives and hypothyroidism, or has any experience with this. Reason why i am asking is that i have a mirena coil and i feel that my thyroid function has got worse and worse after that was inserted in March. Also, i have had the same problem before with a progesterone only pill.
Thanks!
