Can you confirm you are taking 150mcg Levothyroxine AND 150 T3?

What were your last thyroid level results?

What were your last thyroid results and when?

[Stephanie70]

If your Thyroid hormones arent at right levels you can put weight on from that, if you really cant be without a contraceptive pill like me,I use a mini pill and no weight gain from it, I cant function otherwise with too much bleeding! Hope I was of some help, I have no experience with copper coils

Thank you 😊

Why not try a cap, I used it foe years? My niece uses it too as she didn’t get on with other contraceptives. Good luck

Does your insurance cover the brand name medications

[Herbal24]

Are you retaining water, sometime that is what makes it seem that you are gaining weight.

[Sineadkots in reply to Herbal24]

Yes a lot of water retention :(((

[Herbal24]

Are you taking any water pills , has your doctor talked to you about water retaintion , if not ask him about it , you are the one that is taking all this uncomfortable symptoms. I pray that the Lord give you strength to go through this and also to give you wisdom to ask the questions that will help you get to the root of the problem. God Bless you🙂
