Hi,
You are 44 years, taking Synthroid,you had delayed period by 7 days &
it was very scanty.There can be various possibilities-
- Hypothyroidism it self causes menstrual problems.
- After 40 the menses become irregular as pre menopausal symptom.
-If you are not using any contraception, may be you have nonviable
pregnancy.
please don't worry, pelvic sonagraphy should clear the picture. A
Gynaecologist's consultation is ideal at this stage of life.
Thanks.
