Hi there, yes, mine do a very much

I've not noticed any other symptoms but my fatigue ratchets right up in the days leading up to my period. Difficult to know if that's a thyroid symptom or just a menstrual symptom though.

same here, I’m fairly ok for first two weeks but totally wiped out for the following two weeks before my period and also have trouble sleeping.

Have you had your iron/ferritin checked. I have low ferritin (iron stores) although my iron is normal so I'm not anaemic yet but the monthly blood loss affects all my other symptoms massively, having low ferritin/iron and then the monthly blood loss will make you feel even worse around that time

thank you. Yes sleep is not as great, anxiety/low mood, tiredness.

All checks have been done. Results tomorrow. With a consultant. Also had an MRI as suspected central hypothyroid

Yes I've noticed a pattern with fatigue in the days leading up to my period. And sometimes at ovulation too.
