Should I see a doctor?

Question

I have hypothyroidism just started taking my pills every day since the 17th or 18th of this month. I never been good with taking them every day. I had my period 14th-20th like normal. I have been trying to track my ovulation and I have done ovulation tests this week and seen faint lines no surged yet. But I also have had sex quite a bit. Anywho Thursday I started spotting pinkish brown discharge which lasted a few hours then the same thing happened yesterday.... now today I have a bright pink discharge with a little red. I don't know what this is......... implantation or a period in between periods.... my next period is due the 14th, is my pills messing it up? Please help!

Answer

I have hypothyroidism too and yes your periods can become irregular -=IF=- your TSH levels are too high however, this doesn't really sound like that.

Just so you know, thyroid meds stay in your system for something like 22 days so if you take you pill late or accidentally miss a day and make it up the next day it's actually ok. Sometimes doctors will prescribe an amount that's in between the available tablet amounts and instead of asking patients to split tablets, they have them take a higher dose on 5 days and nothing for the other 2.

That being said, it's always better to remember everyday. Maybe set a reminder on Glow, I also have it listed in the medications section because I kept forgetting whether or not I took my pill. It helps.

If your progesterone levels are low sometimes you'll get spotting in between periods but it's probably just an off month. If you TSH levels are still off, that could be it too.
