Im having trouble with moods anxiety and im thinking the contraceptive pill could contribute towards this and complicate the thyroid medication too, going to ask the endo on wednesday if they think i should stop it too..

Just wondered if any ladies on here benefited from stopping it who have an under active thyroid?
