Question 1

possible reasons for abnormal period? i think it might be hypothyroidism?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid and periods: Hypothyroidism certainly could cause irregular periods. Some other symptoms of hypothyroidism are weight gain, cold intolerance, dry skin, fatigue, constipation. There are many other reasons for irregular periods as well. However, a thyroid test should be done (as well as a pregnancy test if you have missed a period).

Question 2

i have hypothyroidism been having regular periods up until december 12, 2014 and haven't had period since took 5 pt and was negative?

Accepted Answer

Periods: It is time to see your gynecologist who look into your problem with periods and also check your thyroid.

Question 3

gave birth 4 months ago (c sextion). in last 6 weeks got period x3 & lasts from 4-8 days. normal? + i have hypothyroid. when does it get regulated? thnx

Accepted Answer

Irregular menses: Hopefully your hypothyroidism is being adequately treated.  Your menstrual periods may take several more months to become regular again, and would not worry unless you have other associated symptoms.  Good luck.

Question 4

can hypothyroidism cause heavy and long periods?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Hypothyroidism slows down your metabolism and can prolong your period making it lasts longer and heavier.

Question 5

26 yrs old w.hypothyroid, havent had a period since october,its now february .i noticed pink on the tissue when i wiped 2days ago and today its brown.

Accepted Answer

Irregular menses: This is a bit of breakthrough spotting because you have gone three months without your period. See your gyn to determine why you have not had a period for three months, as well as to check your thyroid levels and see if you need a medication adjustment. Good Luck

Question 6

does hypothyroidism cause late periods even if you do ovulate.  ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: heavy menses with hypothyroidism.  Also though skipped periods

Question 7

could having higher hypothyroidism cause my period to change like this?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A low thyroid can cause menstrual abnormalities. Corrective should normalize periods.

Question 8

what to do if i have hypothyroidism and haven't had my period in over a year, will i be able to have kids?

Accepted Answer

Assuming...: Hi. I hate to assume, but must. I assume your hypothyroidism is treated and that on treatment, your thyroid function is normal. That would eliminate thyroid as a  cause of your amenorrhea. Untreated hypothyroidism can cause hyperprolactinemia in some people, which can cause amenorrhea, but I won't assume that. Talk with your gyn, and discuss options. Sorry can't be more definitive sans information

Question 9

i have just been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and my period cycle is on day 50, i have always been regular 29-32 days. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid vs  : If you are this late, consider pregnancy first.  You should also have your thyroid function blood work done to make sure your thyroid hormone replacement is adequate.  Otherwise, missing a period can happen to any female caused by other things like stress, illness, acute weight change, etc. Please discuss with your doctor.

Question 10

i haven't had a period for 2 years.  now have had it three months in a row.  history of hypothyroidism but all blood eirk normal last year.  should i worry?

Accepted Answer

Strange: to be free of menstruation and then have 3 in a row at 51 years of age. I would suggest you see a Gyn. would get FSH/LH/Estrogen/Progesterone/Estradiol levels and have exam of vagina/uterus and pelvic exam along with a transvaginal Ultrasound.
