3 Signs Your Thyroid Might Be Affecting Your Period

3 Signs Your Thyroid Might Be Affecting Your Period:

1. Heavy flow. Having low thyroid production influences the body’s ability to make progesterone, therefore, creating an imbalance between estrogen and progesterone.
2. Irregular Cycles. Too little thyroid hormone can cause and over-production of prolactin which can inhibit ovulation. No ovulation = no progesterone = very irregular cycles or no cycle at all.
3. PCOS or fibroids. If you have been diagnosed with PCOS or fibroids, chances are your thyroid is involved. These diagnoses also cause reduced fertility.
