A member asked:
Will taking levothyroxine cause a missed period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Any thyroid dysfunction or imbalance of the thyroid hormones can affect ovulation and cause irregular periods. If the dose of shynthroid is ether too high or too low it can affect your periods but it usually requires very unbalanced thyroid hormones in order for it to inhibit ovulation . I would exclude other causes for a missed period such as pregnancy, stress.
