Have you had any other hormones checked besides thyroid? Like
prolocation, testosterone, FSH, LH? Sounds like something may be "out of
whack" I would hold off on an natural or supplemental hormones until you
get a thorough evaluation from your MD. Also, remember your worth as a
person is not determined by the size of your breasts. Hang in there,
and good luck!
