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.
