Hey Y'all
Need some advice or tips:

TMI COMING

Quick summary:

26yrs old - always had a normal period (no medication thyroid meds) my period was on time like clock work with the occasional shift in arrival days.

Mother is Hypo (thyroid) so she wanted to to get tested as well (Dec 2019) so I did and it was maybe over by a number or 2 so they prescribed me 25MCG levorox. (Jan 28 2020) last on period (Jan 28 2020)

I started taking my meds CONSISTENTLY (once everyday between 5-6AM) Feb 2020 (not sure the date)

I have AF symptoms days where I NORMALLY GET AF OR OVULATE but no AF (cramps, pelvic pain, boobs tender etc. The works) but....

I did NOT have a period FEB since taking the meds - it is now MARCH 26 2020 9pm wipes and it was pinkish so I was excited like YES FINALLY MY PERIOD IS STARTING -_- I was wrong because the 27th I had NO AF

March 27th 9:45pm again I wiped and it was like light medium so I was like oh this is it for sure.......

March 28th (today) NOTHING DRY AS A BONE

So long story short - am I still adjusting to meds or ...... should I freak out now? Confused

I don’t recall ever having that problem when I started however a quick google does say that the medication can cause changes to your period.

Just for info, make sure you take it on an empty stomach and 30 mins before coffee and don’t take alongside multivitamins because the iron stops the thyroxine being absorbed. This wasn’t something I was ever told and I found out the hard way.
