My girlfriend is taking the contraceptive pill and wants to use t4 to try and lose some weight. She has tried countless diets for years and has become fed up with them. Dose using thyroid hormone effect the contraceptive pill. I have done some research and have disscovered both arguments but i want to hear from people who have actually used it and if anyone knows. Any info would be good.

t3 or t4 have no interactions with the pill... the only correlation i have read about is that birth control may actually cause hypothroidism...
but t4 will not cause the bc to not work...
things that will screw up bc are antiestrogens: nolv, arim, etc... so she MUST not use anything like that...
