Hi moonsquatters, I take 100mcg Levothyroxine and on Everol 75mcg & Provera 5mg. I was never told by any professional that there could be any affects on my TSH etc from taking HRT. However I discovered this on reading this forum, I'm sure it was Wrensong in fact who made me aware in her posts. I have annual levels checked no problems for the last 15+ years, however only started HRT spring time this year. Following wrensongs posts I asked GP to check my levels 3 months after starting HRT, within normal range. I have changed HRT regime to what I've written above, next month will be 3 months on it, will ask for levels to be checked again, although as advised it is less likely to cause an issue via transdermal route.
GP is telling you a load of rubbish, put thyroid into search box & read posts relating to it, also have a look on the website & elsewhere see what info you can get & print off to shove under your GP's nose. If he/she still not in agreement, ask to get referral to menopause clinic/specialist or see if any of the GP's in the practice have an interest or specialise in women's health (this does not always mean they are any more clued up, unfortunatley!) x
