Mini pill and T3

I’ve had a search across various communities on healthunlocked but I can’t find what I’m looking for.

I’m struggling with peri meno symptoms but more specifically the drop off in progesterone each cycle is causing me to feel under medicated and fatigued for around 10 days each cycle.

I’m about to try the “mini pill” which is a fairly hefty dose of progestogen each day to try to even out these dips but wonder if anyone has any experience of the mini pill used alongside T3 at all??

It’s a pretty niche question granted, but any experience would be really useful.

I can’t really see what aside from any hormone side effects, it will cause any issues for my thyroid levels (other than potentially increasing utilised hormone) but I’d be keen to hear from anyone who’s tried it.

TIA 🙃
