You need to take Thyroid medicine daily without missing, otherwise your Thyroid levels won't be normal. Take regularly.

Thyroid medication has to be lifelong
Dose has to be adjusted such that TSH levels are maintained less than 5 if you are not planning pregnancy
Hypothyroidism is an important reason for less flow during periods
