Tiredness, missed period…

[KM8]

For about 9 weeks or so I’ve been feeling really exhausted, initially thinking it was just being busy at work and general mum life. But it hasn’t improved. I’ve also missed 2 periods, I’ve been to my
GP today for blood tests and a pregnancy test which was negative. My hair is also thinning too!

GP has reassured me it may be due to stress and that they don’t really intervene until I’ve missed 3
periods. They have said if the bloods come
back fine they can give me medication to help induce a period etc.

Anyone else had this? I’m worried I’m never going to feel like myself again.

Did they take blood for thyroid function?

Edited to add - have you any other symptoms? Gaining weight? Feeling cold?
Obviously it could be all kinds of things.
Do you know when you'll get the blood test results?

They just told me within the next few days, they’re checking thyroid function too and hormone levels. My GP was so lovely, can’t believe I’m actually wanting a period! I’m always cold and I’ve lost a bit of weight recently. They have told me to do another pregnancy test in a week again but we have a 4 year old, and a 1 year old so being pregnant is definitely out of the question. I’m hoping it’s just work stress and I just need to get on top of everything and hopefully things may regulate and get back 🙈

They need to properly check your thyroid gland levels as hair loss, missing periods and feeling cold can be linked to problems with the thyroid gland being underactive. Have a read of Thyroid UKs website.

This pattern is common with stress or hormonal imbalance.
Missed periods + fatigue + hair thinning often link to thyroid issues, iron deficiency, or high stress.
Wait for your blood test results.
If they’re normal and it continues, push for deeper hormone checks.
