Do birth control pills or the Depo-Provera shot effect your thyroid levels?
Hormonal birth control can affect the level of thyroid binding globulins. That doesn't affect most of the thyroid levels that your health care provider would check, but your provider should be aware of the type of birth control you're using just in case they decide to test these levels. Hormonal birth control does not affect the level of T4, T3, or TSH, the typical levels that are checked.
Can doubling your birth control alter your thyroid test?
Possibly, depending on which thyroid-related hormone is being tested. Discuss the matter with your health care provider, who is familiar with your particular situation.

Breast tenderness is a common side effect when starting the birth control pill, patch, or ring. It usually goes away within three months.
