Thyroid: If you had your thyroid removed you must have had Synthroid (thyroxine) prescribed and that would have little, if any, impact on your TSH. Your main problem is likely to bean issue with your menstrual cycle and you should see a Gynecologist as soon as you can. Please let me know what develops.
