Hi Amanda,

Thanks for your response! I haven't changed my eating habits except to healthier foods. I had my thyroid tested about a year ago (I was losing large amounts of hair--never did find the culprit). Perhaps you're right, I should get my thyroid tested again. As for the birth control, what a frustrating yet necessary experimentation! :)
