Can meds keep you from having periods? Everybody keeps telling me it’s perimenopause because I’m 52 after all. Pdoc said this. I’ve been having periods every month for a year and a half or more after I got my mirena iud out which kept my periods away. Now I expect to have 42 day cycles in recent months but my period hasn’t started today. Maybe it will tomorrow? I asked my friend who helped develop gabapentin if the drug could make you skip periods and he said he’d never heard of that. Anybody else have their meds mess with their periods?
