Didn't your doctor shift your med doses recently? For me, shifts in my dose caused my cycles to go nuts. I bled unexpectedly constantly and I was worried there was something seriously wrong. It would wind down and then start a week or so later. The bleeding wasn't terribly heavy, but it would last for a long time and I only got short breaks in between. There were down times, but it was scary and felt constant especially when I had a regular cycle previously.
I told my pdoc before consulting with my gynecologist and she recommended lowering my AP dose to see if that would help. A month later things returned to normal. I think it is wise to get checked out regardless, but I wanted to toss that out in case it is a consideration for the cause of this unwanted change.
Much love to you and I'm hopeful you find an answer soon.  |
Thanks for sharing that, fern! It is reassuring to me to read that others have experienced similar, though I'm sad that's so. I had thought about my antipsychotic increase (Seroquel XR) when I missed my period. There's seems to be a number of possibilities. Maybe next Thursday will reveal something, but as it will be only a video appointment, it won't be a thorough exam.
My psychiatrist hasn't wanted to decrease my Seroquel XR given my stress levels. It's probably been the right decision. Maybe my stress will start to decrease a bit, but with my dad coming home in a little over a week, it's hard to know if it will go up a bit again. I'm glad this will be a long weekend!
