Being undermedicated causes most of those things. The bloating can be from hypothyroidism but it is often the result of healing taking place.

all of you. Now the question, since I started Armour my cycle has been so screwed up. I have been spotting and my periods are coming every 3 weeks or so. I also have endometriosis and PCOS but don't think that is what is going on. Could it be the Armour? I also started using Progesterone cream around the same time but have been awful at using it consistently, I haven't even used it in over a month. Summer is sooo crazy for me, glad it is almost over. If is doesn't stop in a month or so, I will go see my RE for an ultrasound to see if my uterine lining is too thick. Thanks,

Thanks Jan. I am really looking forward to my dose increase and hopefully my energy level increasing too.
