I am 42 & currently on 200mcg of Synthroid for graves (TT in 1994).
My gyno has already told me she will put me on HRT due to having my last ovary removed.
Does anyone know of any issues having a hysterectomy & being on thyroid medication, then having to start HRT?View Thread

Theyd did blook work where my only ovary is not even functioning anymore & I have another cysts that has been growing since Oct.
They have had trouble regulating my thyroid medication for the last 19yrs. Either too much or not enough.
My Endo said that yes I would need an increase in thyroid medication, DUE to the hysterectomy, but she won't do blood work until about 2 months after hysterectomy. My gyno will put me on HRT, due to fear of bone loss.
I will know more about all of this on the 17 of Jan, when I go for the consultation. I was suppoed to have gotten done in Oct., but with the holidays & wanting to talk to my Endo first I held off until after the new year.
I will keep you updated..Thanks.View Thread

Okay. I had lab work done last week for TSH, FSH, & vit D. I have only 1 ovary (other removed due to complex cycst). I have tested positive for High Risk HPV six months ago & had my second pap done (don't know resutls yet). When I went in for my pap the gyno told me that I am NOW going through menopause. My FSH level was 58.1 . My last cycle was Aug 17, 2012, still waiting on it to make an appearance.
Now my TSH is being supressed due to graves/hyper 20yrs ago. I know my TSH level was below .01, which is fine because I no longer have symptoms.
So what does it mean if my FSH is that high?View Thread
