Could a better functioning thyroid mean you actual need to reduce estrogen levels (e.g. reduce oestrogel)?
I have had an underactive thyroid for over 20 years, been peri for at least 2 years.
Recently the doctors have been trying to get my thyroid level right. It's NHS only at the moment so I only get TSH and T4 results, which say I am underactive.
GP increased my Levothyroxine to 75mcg two weeks ago. Although i feel better I am now having some overactive symptoms including nausea, headache, thirst and not being able to sleep.
I've recently had full bloods that didn't show vit deficiencies or diabetes.
I'm on 12 day progesterone (but haven't had any for almost two weeks since last cycle), 3 pumps oestrogel.
Wondering if my thyroid is now performing as it should and has improved estrogen levels in the process?! If so could I try cutting to 2 pumps oestrogel?
