Ladies on NDT help

[Krissyvo]

I’ve started my 2nd week of Thyroid Gold. I’m adjusting but one thing that has me thrown is I’m 2 weeks from my cycle and my body is acting like its pregnant. I have symptoms I don’t have before my cycle. Extremely sore breaths (feels like I’m breastfeeding feeding sore) and tender, sore abdomen (ovary area) What the ? Why is this

happening?

I was the same on NDT (can't remember which but think it was thyro-gold), in addition to the swollen breasts I had a blood stained discharge almost like a mini-period....I'm in my seventies!!!! Stopped NDT and all cleared up, decided that levo was best for me.

Thank you for the info. It’s so strange I didn’t have anything like this with Naturethyoid.

Just shows how the whole hormone system is connected in some way! And of course different products affect us all differently. Can tell you I got a fright when it happened, I hadn't had any menopause symptoms or any "female" type things either but I was glad when it stopped

The whole endocrine system is closed, so there's a knock on effect when any are out of balance. This doesn't mention female hormones, but is still a fascinating read:

I reacted very badly to Thyro-Gold, but with burning skin & lips, rather than hormonal. I was perimenopausal & on HRT when I tried it, so can't directly compare my reaction to yours.

I think breast tenderness is usually due to progesterone dominance, so maybe you need some oestrogen, or getting your lady hormone levels checked out.

Thank you!
