Medication and menstrual cycle

Hello Ladies,

I was recently put on Azathioprine and colchicine for my BD and my cycle seems to have stopped completely. I also have the mirena coil and am definitely not pregnant. Just wondered if anyone else had the same thing happen? I know the mirena coil can stop periods altogether but I've had it in for over a year and was still getting periods up until I started the medication so I do think it's probably one of the drugs.

Yes I have found the same!

I've got a Mirena too which hasn't stopped my periods like this in the past 6 years but since I started this combination of meds, periods have been nearly nonexistent. I can't say that I'm really missing them to be honest.
