vaginapaginaHas anyone here ever been on Synthroid for a hypothyroid as well as HBC containing estrogen? I was reading over Synthroid's packet (I've been on it for years, but never really read the entire thing for whatever reason), and it warns against the use of any estrogen products, including HBC with estrogen in it.
I know that Yasmin and Synthroid will cause a reaction which will result in high potassium levels and cardiac arrest (which is a good thing I didn't give in why my original OB/GYN pushed me to take it when I started birth control--he even knew I was on Synthroid, the bastard), but I'm uncertain if I should be worried about Ortho-Cyclen. I've only been on Ortho-Cyclen for a couple of months now--previously I had been on the patch.
So I was just wondering if any of you had any information. I'd lovelovelove to get the Mirena IUD, but unfortunately, I live in the deep south (Western North Carolina/Charleston, SC). The technician at the women's health clinic tried to tell me NO ONE inserted IUDs unless you had previously given birth due to size of the cervix, and until recently, women could only get tubal ligations with signed consent from their husband (no husband, no tubal). So I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be able to get one any time in the near future without some sort of vein bursting in my forehead. :\
