What hormone can result in a goiter?
It is a hormone called T4, or thyroxin. What would normally happen is that Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) from the anterior pituitary would stimulate the thyroid to release T4. When enough T4 is produced, it inhibits TSH, or thyroid stimulating hormone, from being secreted. However if enough T4 is not released to inhibit TSH (probably due to an iodine deficiency), then TSH keeps on secreting, overstimulating the thyroid and causing the swelling known as goiter.

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.
