Can a hypothyroid(not autoimmune) woman's symptoms like puffy face disappear only for a month following childbirth? due to changes in hormone levels?

Not your thyroid: Some women get a puffy face while they are pregnant for unclear reasons which disappears within a few weeks after giving birth. If you had a thyroid problem severe enough to cause a puffy face it would have been detected by thyroid testing during your pregnancy. This is not a thyroid issue.
