A member asked:

Will my birth control still work if i have hyperthyroidism ? i don't want to get pregnant

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, but...: Since you "do not want to get pregnant", you will benefit the most from switching to the most effective reversible form of preventing pregnancy : an IUD which may be your #1 best choice ; a subdermal implant would be another option. Consult a gynecologist skilled in IUD insertion and be safe.
