Could having gone off seizure medication and birth control have anything to do with having a late period?

In: Health, Birth Control, Medication and Drugs [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

I don't know how seizure medication affects periods but I do know that menstrual cycles of many women are irregular when first getting off of birth control.. some start spotting and/or bleeding for days on end while others do not get periods for months on end. I think it all depends on your system and how long you were on birth control prior to stopping.

Answer

some anti seizure medications can make the pill ineffective..... i would get a blood pregnancy test.

Answer

my mother has seizures and she was on the pill when she got pregnant with me

Answer

I just stopped birth control over a month ago and still haven't had my period. Have had no sex either, so I'm not pregnant.
