Extremely short cycles since starting tacrolimusFrom: Michaela (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 25 Oct 2001 02:38:53 -0500 (CDT)
I have had extremely regular, predictable periods since I started menstruating at age 13 (ten years ago). I could always detect ovulation via mucus indicators and then start the 2-week countdown to my period; this method was so reliable for me that I stopped keeping track of "cycle day 1" and started looking for my date of ovulation instead. This all changed this June. Since then I have been having my "period" nearly every two weeks with no detectable ovulation. The flow is not as heavy as what I'm used to, but it seems to last longer. The only thing that is different about June is that in June, I went to a dermatologist who gave me a cortisone shot and put me on topical tacrolimus (Protopic 0.1%) for chronic eczema. He also put me on a two-week course of amoxicillin, which resulted in a yeast infection (it was treated). I have also been under job stress lately, but I was under lots of similar job stress between November and June which had no effect on my cycle. I was under the impression that anovulatory cycles were long; I'd really like to know what's making my cycle short. Could any of those medications be responsible for my complete menstrual about-face, or is stress a more likely culprit? It's really been driving me nuts.
