A member asked:

Can having thyroid problems affect birth control if you had to take meds? and how serious is it?i'm still waiting for blood test results at the moment

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Still work: Birth control pills still work for those on thyroid medicines. Irregular periods is a symptom of thyroid disease but it does not interfere with the effectiveness of birth control pills. Hope this helps.
