Iron deficiency cause of underactive thyroid?

I had a underactive thyroid and was prescribed a medication called Levothyroxine. My thyroid levels are back to normal but I was told I need to to stay on the Levothyroxine for it to stay normal. In regard to the Iron deficiency was never tested for this.

That’s crazy because iron and thyroid are linked each one can effect the other

If your iron is low it can effect your thyroid and if you thyroid isn’t working properly it can cause iron deficiency

Yes, I was prescribed levothyroxine week 12 and then later on they put me on iron supplements for low iron. Now I'm no longer pregnant and everything is back to normal!

Ok, now that you mention this I'm going to check with my doctors about my Iron. I have a blood test coming up soon, so will speak to them then. Thanks.

Now I’m nervous I’m getting my iron and thyroid checked next week

When i was First pregnant they put me on iron tablets for low platelets but wasn’t till weeks later at 22 weeks they tested my thyroid and said i had underactive thyroid so was on Levothyroxine for the rest of the pregnancy then when he was born they did my levels and i was told i was fine told i didn’t need to take tablets but 14 months later they did bloods and I’ve s underactive thyroid again

My doctor has recently told me the same thing!
Given me tablets for both.

I have since found out there is a type of underactive thyroid that some women can get after birth and it does not normally stay for long but GPs don’t seem to tell anyone this.

Too be honest I’ve not been taking the thyroid tablets as they made me keep going dizzy and really hot all the time!

I had a blood test last week (2 months after the first one)
And now they are saying by my levels are nearly normal??? Without taking the meds?

It’s all crazy . I’m glad I went for the second check with different doctors xx
