Premature Ovarian Failure and/or Thyroid Problems?

I'm 26 and I've already had thyroid problems (radioactive iodine treated in 2005) and currently on thyroid hormones. The thyroid didn't effect my period at all originally. But the closing year I've had screwed up (missed or every 3-4 months) period. I've been going to the doctor for it and after some bloodwork they are suggesting it might be Premature Ovarian Failure (POF) although still trying some other things first so not really diagnosed at this point. Anyone beside thyroid problems been surrounded by a similar situation? or had missed time and possible POF that turned out not to be POF?
