endo and thyroid

I’ve been told I have an overactive thyroid and low white blood cells, my gp said this can be caused from my endometriosis. Has anyone else every experienced this and if so what did they do about treating it?

Did they test oestrogen and progesterone? potentially Endo can be influenced by high oestrogen and in turn would likely effect the thyroid. I would ask GP to check hormones and then they can advise better on treatment, at least I’d hope so. Ask to check B12, vit D and magnesium as well.

Moon Maiden is right but if they refuse to test get a DUTCH test. It's all connected. Everything I've read about endometriosis and estrogen dominance links back to the thyroid and adrenals.
