Yep all this started for me when I was 42 (which was 2 years ago). Although I must have had thryoid disease for a while since it is a slow moving organ and a slow disease. The other intersting thing is the thyroid is where most of the iodine in your body is. After that its your ovaries so they are connected.
My FSH is low too as is my testosterone. My estrogens are very low regardless of the day of the cycles. Doc put me back on BCPs and I felt better. Its trial and error though with BCPs
Was also dx with possible endometriosis. Posible because until you go in through surgery its only a guess. BUt I feel closer to better managing my symptoms
I just read two good books by Dr. Elizabeth Vliet. And there is a good book by Dr Shames on balancing sex, adrenal and thyroid hormones. Perimenopause sucks!
Good luck.
