Thyroid meds and contraceptive pill

Hi all, I suffer from endometriosis and have been advised to go back on the combined pill to help manage my symptoms. Just slightly concerned that it may cause an issue with my thyroid as it’s taken years to sort it! Not sure if I should just suck it up and be grateful my thyroid is better than it was?

Hiya, I’m endo too and just been diagnosed with hypo, I am on depo jab for endo, stopped my periods all together, no pain, odd niggle now and again but not enough to even take a para. Speak to your GP about depo jab for endo, could work.
