Estrogen and thyroid affect each other.  I can tell when it is about to be
that time of the month because my thyroid medicine is not as effective.
Whether estrogen is higher or lower at that time I don't know.

Subject: thyroid levels and estrogen?


LIsters,
Can someone tell me if there is a direct correlation between thyroid
blood levels and estrogen levels?  and if so, when estrogen drops does
thyroid level go down? ?
I will be gradually tapering my estrogen HRT over the next two months.
Not on any thyroid replacement yet.  Can I expect my tsh to rise and
free t4 to lower?

regards
Holly
