I have the same problems low t3 and have gained 20 pounds in the past year. I have been on progesterone for 2 years and am slowly trying to taper off because I've been gaining weight having mood swings and now am chronically dizzy. However when I started progesterone 2 years ago I lost weight and had no pms symtoms and basically felt great. Now I'm moody unhappy gaining weight and dizzy and I don't know what changed. I am also 25. I am not obese and workout 5-6 days a week and eat a low carb low calorie diet. My doctor thinks I'm insultine resistant and wants to put me on metformin but I'm afraid to take it. I also take nature thyroid. But cannot lose weight no matter what! Does any one know what is wrong with my is my doctor right should i take the metformin and ween off the progesterone? Or will it make me worse!??? Anyone have any answers I'm so worried I messed my body up and now I'm just gonna be a fat hormonal mess!
