Mine were never light, in fact quite the opposite. Was very glad to be rid of them!

Looking at previous posts, a month ago you were going to get dose increase to 100mcg

Did that happen?

Bloods should be retested 6-8 weeks after each dose increase

You need to get full thyroid and vitamin testing....just testing TSH is completely inadequate

What vitamin supplements are you currently taking?

If you are taking vitamin B complex, or any supplements containing biotin, remember to stop these 7 days before any blood tests, as biotin can falsely affect test results

Have you had thyroid antibodies tested?

Essential to know if cause of your hypothyroidism is autoimmune thyroid disease

Assuming antibodies are high, this is Hashimoto’s

Low vitamin levels are EXTREMELY common with Hashimoto’s

Mine have always been pretty light - no problem conceiving - and an easy menopause, so you may be lucky too!

I mean when I say light, I'm talking not even bleeding for a full day and not needing to use any sanitary products at all 😒
