Can meds effect periods.

[PiperIsOrangePumpkins]

i am 3 weeks late, don't need to poas as DH has had the snip and plus my sex drive has driven away. I know I'm not pregnant as I suffer with HG.

Could the tablets be causing this.

What medication are you taking?

50mg of sertraline

It's very uncommon for sertraline to cause menstrual irregularities but it's not unheard of. Have you just started taking it? No harm to pee on a stick just in case.

I'm 28 days in.

It could well be the sertraline in that case but I would recommend consulting your GP (I'm assuming you're being treated in primary care).

I am, but I do think a pregnancy is very unlikely but will get a test tomorrow just in case.

Citralopram gave me irregular bleeding, like weird half periods and then nothing for six weeks. GP said it could be a side effect. POAS to be sure, but SSRIs have had that effect on me.

Did a test it was negative, then AF reared his ugly head.

From what I know it's unusual for the meds to cause it but fairly common for depression/anxiety to mess with your cycle

Venlafaxine at higher doses makes my periods extremely heavy to the point that I end up enemic and have to take iron tablets ??
