Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 thanks Tina, the only other thing that could help is that I stopped b/f on 12/12/03. She said one cycle in between was enough to have my levels level out. Who knows - I'm looking into switching endos anyway. The only other thing is that I'm fatigued often. ----Original Message Follows---- From: " tina83862 " <tina83862@...> Reply-hypothyroidism hypothyroidism Subject: thoughts again Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2004 21:48:10 -0000 " Estrogen and progesterone levels are at their lowest during menstruation " _________________________________________________________________ Get a FREE online computer virus scan from McAfee when you click here. http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
