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?

I found it made me feel depressed and completely obliterated my libido. If you have any doubts about it try some time off.
