Hashi's & Contraception Injection

Hi Everyone,

I have hashi's and currently take the depo Provera contraceptive injection. I was recently told the injection stops the pituitary gland producing hormones and therefore you don't release an egg. With the pituitary connection I wondered if this will have an effect on my Hashi's?

Does anyone else have any contraception suggestions? The pill doesn't agree with me ( I turn into a crazy woman) and the thought of an implant or coil makes me sick!

Thanks

Barrier methods are healthiest, but most annoying (ie condoms and caps)

Thank you! I thought so but I worry about being caught out that way so I don’t dare risk it!
