Birth Control And Thyroid Problems Posted: 11-26-04 21:42pm
Is there anyone else out there with a
thyroid condition ( hypo/ hyper/ graves)
that is using birth control? Has anyone
noticed a change in their thyroid levels
since beginning bc? Please, I would
appreciate any feedback. Ever since
beginning yasmin in august, my tsh levels
have been off, my Dr. Says no
correlation, but my tsh had been stable
for 2 years prior to starting the pill!

hypo Posted: 03-27-08 04:37am
Hi
I'm 24 and have been taking a daily
treatement for a hypo for about 10yrs
now.
My boyfriend and I plan to have sex
together during our vacation in May, it'll
be the first time for me. I'm not quite
sure what to do in terms of bc to make
sure I don't get pregnant.
I'd appreciate your feedback here.
Thanks in advance

There are NON hormonal birth contro
methods like an IUD.
IUD's are very safe, but not all doctors
approve of them, so it can be tricky
getting a doctors to insert one.
