I have been taking hormones for hypothyroidism in a dose of 37.5 for six months. Recently I tested TSH, it is at 1.18. Are there any contraindications for starting contraceptive pills? Should I do any additional tests?
Treated hypothyroidism is not a contraindication to the use of hormonal contraception. However, you should know that only the doctor who has the opportunity to examine the patient decides about the lack of contraindications in a given person.
