Depo provera causing thyroid problems??

am 37 years old and always had good health, now after 6 months taking the depo provera my thyroid is over active, any one else having this problem, am going to see another doctor that my obgy has send me to see, but am 100% sure that this was cause of the depo provera, there is no history of any thyroids problems in my family your honest serius answers will be appreciated.

Answer:
Depo causes many horrible things to happen to a majority of women's bodies, so I would NOT be surprised if depo was the cause.

If they can't find out what caused your thyroid problem, I would truly believe that it is the depo causing it.
My mother had her thyroid removed a few months ago. She wasn't on any medications and it came about quickly. There is no family history of any thyroid problems. I have been on depo for years and haven't had any problems despite my mothers problems. I wouldn't be so quick to blame it on your birth control.
