Hi, last month my period was late and very light when it arrived (unusually so). I am now over a week late again, I have severe bloating (compared to normal) achy legs, nausea and indigestion (which I have never suffered before) as well as tender breasts. Pregnancy test a couple of days a go was negative. Felt sharp pain during sex which is also unusual. I was diagnosed with slight hypothyroidism last year and up until last month was on 25mg levothyroxine- my dose was increased to 50mg as I was feeling like the 25mg wasnt working. I have recently stopped taking contraceptive pills (2 months or so). I understand that my hormones may be a little out of kilter but worried it might be something else? Don't know whether to stop taking the levothyroxine and see if my period comes!
Hi, Thanks for writing to us. The chances of pregnancy in your case may be there. You should not stop taking levothyroxicin because you are a case of hypothyroidism. You should consult a gynecologist for urine, blood test and ultrasonograhy to rule out pregnancy. Good luck. Take care.
