Will i be fine if i'm on thyroid medicine while taking birth control pills?

Generally yes: Typically there shouldn't be an interaction between those two types of medications. However, if you are on other types of medication, you should consult the doctors prescribing those medications to make sure that they are all aware of all of your medications.
