There is no evidence to show that the requirements for thyroxine vary with the menstrual cycle. It is well established that the requirements for thyroxine increase during pregnancy and may also slightly in some patients who are taking HRT. HRT should not upset the thyroid balance in someone who is taking thyroxine.
