Hello,
Has anyone experienced a worsening of hypothyroid symptoms for the ~2 weeks prior to mensturation ?
For context I take 100 mg levothyroxine a day (~4yrs) and in the two weeks I get constipation, bloating and lower metabolism. No known cause of hypothyroidism - also welcome ideas here.
Look forward to hearing your thoughts!

i was diagnosed with Graves but have been unknowingly underactive for months and ive had severe period pains, to the point of vomiting. i read online this affects 1 in 10 women that are hypo and being hypo also causes PMS. when i was overactive my periods completely stopped. i did feel a lot more lethargic/muscle pain at the two weeks mark too. i experience a lot of bloating/water retention in the week(s) leading up to it as well which is annoying! still trying to adjust to being hypo as hyper was my normal for a very long time
