Levothyroxine is the drug given for Hypothyroidism. but it's usually prescribed.
Norethisterone( a progesterone prep) can be used to treat premenstrual syndrome, painful periods, abnormal heavy bleeding, irregular periods, to postpone a period and menopausal syndrome (in combination with estrogen. It's also use for endometriosis.
As each is ordered for different purposes. There is no reason why they can not be taken together. It's not contraindicated.
However, Norethisterone does not stop ovulation. If you need contraception you should discuss this with your doctor who may suggest a combined oral contraceptive pill. It may also cause some dizzziness.

There is no problem or interaction with the levothyroxine, though this is a synthetic, remember it is really the same as a natural body substance and as such has virtually no drug interactions.
The second question is more difficult, if of course you had been on the combined pill, it would have been easy, all you would have needed to do was to run 2 packs together to miss your period. I've always wondered what to say if someone asked me this one, and in the past, and again today, I tried to look it up using medical sources. The only reference I could find was from the Faculty of Family Practice and Reproductive Health Care. I quote it in full " “No data were identified on the use of norethisterone to postpone bleeding associated with the desogestrel-only pill or other progesterone-only pills. No studies were identified which investigated if the use of norethisterone in women using a progesterone-only pill would have any effect on contraceptive efficacy. The CEU recommends that, for women using a desogestrel-only pill who wish to delay bleed, oral norethisterone can be considered. The prevention of delay in bleeding cannot be guaranteed.”
This really means there have been no studies and nobody really knows, this makes me feel much better, but doesn't help you much I am afraid.

Some thyroid disorders can be cured, but many require lifetime treatment. Learn here https://tr.im/t77nD
For example, sometimes early stage thyroid cancer can be cured by surgery to remove the thyroid gland, but you will need to take thyroid hormone medication afterwards for the rest of your life. Goiters can also be surgically removed and do not always recur after surgery. In most cases, thyroid disorders need treatment over a lifetime. However, with treatment most people with thyroid disorders can live normal, healthy lives.

I had merely approximately all of those indicators while clinically determined. My first actual try did no longer teach the difficulty because of the fact I examined interior the afternoon and a TSH try could constantly be completed first element interior the morning because of the fact TSH is maximum collectively as we sleep and lowest around 2PM. If available get a TSH, unfastened t4, unfastened t3, and an antibody try. additionally locate out precisely what your effects have been, as maximum labs have old ranges. A TSH of three.0 or above could be dealt with with thyroid medicine. decrease than is a great thyroid communicate board, so which you would be able to study up on the difficulty some.
