Can steroids or cortisone shots mess with periods? | Arthritis Information
Little concerned here... I am on birth control because MTX is a category X drug for babies which basically equals - "will most likely kill or deform a baby". Yeah not a good thing. But because I am on birth control my periods are usually pretty darn regular.
however I am a little late (which doesnt happen when I take birth control), my boobs are doing weird things and I am panicking... I CANT GET PREGNANT ON THESE DRUGS for medical reasons or I was told by my doctor its pretty much a mandatory abortion.
Can 6 days of prednisone or one cortisone shot mess with birth control or your periods? Please say yes so I dont outright panic.
I didnt know where else to post something like this so sorry if its too personal or too "female" but I am really concerned since I cant find anything online about steroid use and brith control or periods.
Well... darn it! Why won't the pred mess with MINE!!!!
Yeah, I think I only had it mess mine up once or twice and that was when I done back to back pred flare tapers or medrol paks.
Here's to hoping the dam breaks soon for ya.
