11357756

Hi,
I am just wondering whether i am just having a normal period or have I fallen pregnant? I have been on evra patch for at least two years now but in last 3months i have been disgnosed with having an underactive thyroid and am currently taking tablets for it. Anyway this month my period has been very light normally would be much heavier especially seem i did not take a gap last month to get my period so i was on my patch for 6 weeks without a break. Anyway i was wondering whether my light period is a sign of my underactive thyriod or could i be pregnant? Any help would be appreciated

The only way of knowing definitively is to consult your GP and find out how your medication could effect menstruation and get them to do a pregnancy test while there. Collect some morning urine and bring it to your appointment.

There's a thyroid misery thread over on the long term illness forum that's very helpful.

If you even suspect your pregnant you need to go to doctor. Thyroid medication normally has to be upped in the first trimester.

We can't give medical advice, you need to go to your GP or take a pregnancy test.
