Hi Ladies,

I was just wondering, did it ever effect your period? I started at my clinic on 7/21, and my last real period was 7/27 - 8/5, and it was 10 days long! I also had "spotting" on 9/22 and 9/23, but it was just like pink blood, and no clots. WTH is wrong with me? I've asked my counsleor at the clinic twice, but she doesn't know, and I always keep forgetting to ask the Medical Dept. And when I asked in my weekly group, a few girls said yes, a few said no .. blah //shrug. When I Googled it, I found this site Menstrual cycle length during methadone maintenance on a government website, and the study said that 46% of women in the study had irregular periods .. that's still only half. Guess I'm the "unlucky" half?!

blo0dchild, I know stress can effect your menstrual cycle, but I don't know about methadone. Hope another member can be more helpful.

Hi there....

in my opinion and experience or several hard drugs over many years, I can honestly say that any drug and all drugs will have an effect on your menstral cycle. be it a small change or huge one.

have a look at a web site called ravesafe it is ravesafe dot org dot za
take care...
Thanks for this!

I would be inclined to think the drug shift might have shifted something and wait another month or two to see what happens and/or ask the medical people to check it out for you. Your body is still adjusting and/or your dosage? Apparently the changes don't mean you can't get pregnant and birth control is still needed: https://www.cpsbc.ca/files/pdf/Metha...r-Patients.pdf
