Re: latest labs - TSH back in range Hi

[Guest guest]

My thyroid levels have been great for the last year or two (maybe

even 3?), but my periods went berzerk! I was bleeding heavily and it

wouldn't stop until I'd end up at the doctor's office and they'd have

to prescribe progesterone to stop the bleeding. After too much of

this, I finally decided to go on the pill to regulate my periods.

Ahh, it's so nice to have a nice and light period again! I was

against taking the pill, but I was suffering too much with all the

bleeding and BAD cramps. I'd bleed for 2 weeks or more and then get

another period 2 or 3 weeks later!

My periods and thyroid are good now. I even lost 25 lbs this last

year. I did a lot of clean eating and I work out (cardio and weight

lifting) 6 days a week. Although, this past 2 weeks I have not been

in the gym much, as I was really sick and am allowing myself to

recover. I have asthma and can't handle the cardio when I can't

breathe!

Happy New Year to all!

I forgot to mention that my hair has stopped falling out recently!

It seems to be correlated with when I went on the birth control

pill! Weird, eh?
