    Gia,

    The Graves disease will affect your period. It will make it scarce. I thought
    my scant periods were menopause. The Graves will make the period seem
    like you are menopausal. When you are treated it will start to come back.

    My period when I was starting on Antithyroid was very watery and light.
    The thyroid hormone overproduction will cause the period to be scant.
    And I called my gynecologist and he said it will be months before my period
    was back to normal.

    Did anyone ever notice when they have TED, that every once in a while
    their eyes flared up when they were in Menopause. I was fine for a while
    and now I noticed my eyes flaring up again. The only thing I can possibly
    notice is that now that Im in Meno (all of a sudden)I am extremely bloated
    and my left eye (the problem eye) has flared up swollen teary etc,. I had
    the radiation done in August and I have been on predisone for over a year
    finally off of it since January. Now I discovered I am in menopause. My
    estrogen level was fine in Sept now it is the equivalent to a 55 year old.
    Can this some how counter act with the Graves? I do know they are both
    Hormone related.
