I have been ttc from November 2004.  I am desperate and often depressed.  I have done blood tests and my GYN said to take eltroxin for me thyroid is underactive.  Three weeks later AF showed up early, in floods and painful (cycles are normally 28 days and very regular)Immediately I consulted Physician who said it was probably becoz of the medication and took bloods, 3 days he later he suggested I stop taking eltroxin becoz my thyroid is normal to overactive. I am seeing specialist on Frid 8th for third opinion and hopefully some clarity.  Please advise. Luv Thando Report to moderator   Logged WantsBaby2 Gold Member Offline Posts: 671 I'm a llama!
