A member asked:
When i was hypothyroid(n didn't knw abt it),i had taken diane 35 for my acne n hair loss. n it helped. but i heard bcps r bad for hypo women?

They're not bad: BCP are not any different for hypothyroid women than for any other woman: they are safe. Women who should not take BCP - regardless of thyroid - are those over 35, with hypertension, smokers, and concerns about estrogen-dependent growths. Thyroid patients are no different, good wishes.
