9 days late.. is it medication related?

[Deidre]

I am currently 9 days late for my period. I have been Very regular. Last month April 18th I had a GI app and he changed the dosages of my medications I am now on Imuran and I am on endocourt. He increased my imuran and decreased my steriods.. even when I first started them I was regular. now I am 8 days late.. I have cramping like I am going to start but I dont start!

Last week I was Ill, I was very tired and I had a headach for like 2 weeks stright, I took a migrane pill and I was on Anti-biotics for a cpl days for a UTI.

can all the combo's of drugs cause me to be late?

I am not on birthcontrol but we use a condom Every time and we have not noticed that onw broke.

ideas?

Medications can definitely mess with your cycle. There are a lot of things that can cause you to be late, even IBD itself, the stress of dealing with it, and the weight changes brought on by it.

However, I encourage you to see a doctor about it or take an at-home pregnancy test. If you are pregnant, you need to know as soon as possible because the medications you're taking could be harmful to the could-be fetus.

Stress can affect ovulation, thus halting it until the situation (personal, medication, surgery, etc.) passes. If you are truly worried, there are tests at the dollar store to see if you are pregnant or you can ask your gyn for a test.

feel better.

with me I don't have periods if im sick in any way. a cold would throw of my cycle. periods are a sign of health and fertility and making a body ready for pregnancy.
im surprised your doc didn't discuss you going on a reliable form of contraception before starting you on Imuran. getting pregnant on it is not ideal.

go get a test and if your are not pregnant I would seriously think about going on the pill or having a coil fitted.
