Q: Seasonique and Thyroid?
asked by: xkalamariex on January 13th, 2009

I'm on my third pack of Seasonique, so maybe the 9th month, and instead of starting my period on my normal day I started it 2 weeks early. I know spotting is a side effect, but this is a full blown 3 week long period. Prior to the seasonique I recieved the Depo-Shot for 4years, and during the last year I was having a period for 2-3weeks so I had her take me off of that. I didn't want to go through all that again so I went in again and she had me do some bloodwork. Turns out my my TSH level is off. Has anyone else had a problem with Thyroid issues while on Seasonique? I can't really find much to suggest it.

seasonique and thyroid issues
hopefully, you are still out there to see my answer. But, I had the exact same issue. However, it wouldn't be anything about Seasonique that would cause your thyroid issues. Due to the hormones the thyroid produces, it influences pretty much all of the metabolic processes in the body. Many times, thyroid disorders remain un-diagnosed and people suffer from many underlying ailments until its caught and the proper level of synthroid can be prescribed. Because it produces hormones, your levels were off and that would probably explain the bleeding. I am sure now you have been taking a synthroid for several months and have probably gone back to normal.
