Lightbulb I have heard of this...

mostly from women after they deliver their babies.

Hypothyroidism is often diagnosed after a pregnancy, and when done then,
can be a temporary thing. The thyroid can wake up with time and be normal.
I had a friend have this happen.

If you take hormone when you don't need it, it just suppresses your own
TSH and you then make less, and it all balances out with time.
Remove the hormone, and you may go back to normal yourself.
(of course people with damaged thyroids don't spring back that way).
