HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Hypothyroidism would be associated with delayed periods, fatigue, depressed mood and weight gain.

Treatment with the hormone replacement will help these issues. Your periods may return as your thyroid hormone levels return to normal.

In some women with increased weight, there can be problems with menstruation due to other hormonal changes. If the period does not recur despite normal thyroid hormone levels, you should consider visiting your gynaecologist for assessment.

I hope this helps
