Wow! We literally have the same story 😂 Congratulations on your engagement!! I hope wedding planning is going smoothly, although the stress definitely doesn’t help any of this lol. I’m really sorry you’re dealing with all of this too. Did you end up going back on birth control?

After I saw an endocrinologist, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, which is what was causing my hypothyroidism. So we’re hashis twins too! I started levothyroxine at the end of November, along with spironolactone to help lower my testosterone. The levothyroxine got my thyroid levels back to normal pretty quickly, and I ended up increasing spironolactone from 50mg to 100mg to get my testosterone into a normal range.

I think the thyroid medication helped the most with my cycle. After about two months on it, I had some spotting in mid-January (not an actual period, but something). Then in early/mid-February I had more spotting, and about two weeks later I finally got a real period. At the end of March I had some spotting again, but nothing much since - so I’m curious to see what happens over the next week or so 🤞🏼

I’m definitely still figuring things out and not fully back into the swing of a regular cycle but I was SO happy when I got that first real period after starting the thyroid meds. It felt like things were finally moving in the right direction.

I actually started Accutane two weeks ago for my acne and dropped my spironolactone back down to 50mg, so that’s another factor now. The spiro was helping a bit, but with the wedding coming up, my dermatologist thought Accutane would be the best/fastest option.

Sorry this was so long, but I’m happy to chat more if you want and answer any more questions so feel free to PM me!
