Levo and contraception

This morning I realised I'd forgotten to take my contraception the night before and automatically took it half an hour after taking my levothyroxine first thing.

Are there any major implications of this mistake? I don't really have any symptoms so I'm not worried about these being a major issue. Just want to check there aren't any other things to watch out for!

TIA

Plokmijnuby,

Taking Levothyroxine with other meds can reduce absorption of Levothyroxine but you will not notice anything when it happens on one occasion only.
