Hi,
Low levels of thyroid hormone can cause infrequent periods whereas the higher levels can lead to heavier and more frequent periods. You need to regularly monitor the TSH levels after starting the medicine for dosage regulation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
