Anyways, I've read that taking estrogens/phytoestrogens can desensitize your body to thyroid hormones, so many people that are borderline may become hypo, and those that are already hypo may get worse.
Usually, the solution is start on a small amount of thyroid meds, or increase the dose. However, without a thyroid in your body...I'm not quite sure what the effect would be, to be honest.
Sorry
No apology needed, thanks for the reply! Perhaps I will just bring up the subject of how my condition might effect or be affected by sex hormones with the endo when I see him without really diving into the why.
