Does prednisone effect menstrual cycle?
I was given two steroid shots and took a few steroid tablets to get rid of a hives outbreak I had..two weeks later I was supposed to get my period but I am a week late. Would the steroids still be effecting my body?? From research I have done it seems to have some effect on your period, but I am still very worried. How much does it effect your cycle? Has anyone else had this kind of problem? And when can I expect it to come back:(

steriods can and do effect your periods i've had two steroid injections and a course of prednisone tablets for my rheumatoid arthritis in the past 5/6 months and my periods have been out of whack it's made me late the first month made me miss a month made me lighter than usual one month made me made heavier than i've ever been before one month, before going on steroids i was used to getting my period near the end of the month i'm now getting it near the beginning of the month
if steroids are used for inflammation and pain relief they can last up to 8 weeks
