A member asked:
Can levothyroxine affect my period? since i started taking it my periods have been regular but i am late. i took a pregnancy test and it was negative

Hormonal imbalance: Thyroxine can affect menstrual cycle, especially if you lost weight. Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.
