CBD OIL effecting Menstrual cycle

[Ashleyp]

Ever since I've started taking cbd which completely made my anxiety (health anxiety)vanish my cycle is so bad. 2 weeks early, spotting after cycle ends, ect... any one else?

Hello

I never have tried the oil but reading your post what I would say is maybe stop taking it , see if everything comes back to normal and if not see your Doctor

It could be the oil but your Doctor would be able to rule out anything else

Take Care x

I had a baby last year so I had everything done and after the baby my cycle started back rather normal then i started cbd oil and my cycle is so messed up!!!

[Ashleyp in reply to Hidden]

I called the dr spoke to the nurse she told me stop taking it

[Hidden in reply to Ashleyp]

Hello

I am glad you made that call and I think maybe the oil then could be the cause , see how you get on without it and if everything goes back to normal then we all know that reads your post that this could be something it does and if not then book in with your Doctor but I doubt it will be nothing much these things sometimes happen and if you only had a baby last year your hormones sometimes can still play up a year later

Let us know if stopping it does the trick x

Hi

How have you been feeling since you have stopped taking the oil? Thanks for sharing, I had no idea CBD oil could possibly affect menstrual cycles.

I spotted a day or so (ovulation I'm now assuming)but after being off cbd for 7 days I had 2 panic attacks that was absolutely terrifying and I started it back up

How are you going? i found your post by doing my own google search of my new symptoms. i had not had a cycle for a long time and CBD oil brought it back but now i feel like it wrecking havoc with it too, nearly non stop spotting

[Ashleyp in reply to clarkyhealthy]

My cycle isnt very consistent!!! I spot 5-8 days after my cycle for a day or so... then I ovulate. My cramps have became intense, I am going longer in between cycles also HOWEVER my anxiety is GONE!

Marijuana has always affected my cycles. I quit using it because of this happening. I would have intense bleeding then spotting. I got tired of always having a period, so I don’t use it anymore unfortunately.

[Ashleyp in reply to Seabrite1]

Same that's how mines been. It was so heavy then spotting, and I had cramps which I've never had. I havnt stopped my cbd though. My health anxiety was so out of control

[hello1111 in reply to Seabrite1]

So happy to see I am not alone. Within two weeks of starting CBD oil I have started spotting and my period came two weeks early. I'm going to ride it out for the time being...

[Ashleyp in reply to hello1111]

I'm still taking my cbd! My cycles are irregular and the spotting has eased up but I down loaded period tracker to keep track of it

[Lucydogg]

I am having a horrible time with my cycle too! It has to be the CBD because there is nothing new in my life, but I can't find any research or experiences from others related to CBD use. Any input is appreciated

[Ashleyp in reply to Lucydogg]

Mine was EXTREMELY inconsistent. I'd randomly spot and I started having cramps. I didnt stop though. After 7 months or so on cbd last month and this month I've had NORMAL cycle 0 spotting 5 day just NORMAL. I havnt stopped taking cbd though. I cant go back to that anxiety life. Mine was horrible

[overstress]

Yep! Had to stop.

I have the very same problem. Cycle is one week shorter and at the same time, sort of unpredictable (a day with 0 bleeding mid-menstruation, then bleeding again, spotting before and after menstruation and so on). I keep on taking the oil because it helps me so much, but cycle irregularity does bother me a lot. I can't really find any research on how CBD affects female hormone levels. I mean, I can stand having irregular cycles, but what if it causes more serious health issues in future?

[Ashleyp in reply to anachan1]

I have been on CBD for 7 months and last month and this month my cycle has been normal. Up until now I'd have a longer heavier cycle, then random spotting, or 30 days in between. It was so off wack however I have 0 anxiety now.!

Okay I’m so glad I found this! I actually went off birth control years ago and love being able to Intuitively track my cycle! normally not cycle is 25-28 days and I’m on day 30 with no period. I use the Flo app which is awesome and shows you your average cycle length and other information. The only thing I’ve been doing differently has been CBD oil every night for the last week, and I’m not sure if it’s related but two days ago I had a swollen thyroid and low grade fever. Does anybody know ignoring CBD can have an effect on thyroid?

Interestingly, I have been a heavy marijuana user for 7 years. Daily use if not multiple times per day, and despite that my period has been totally regular and trackable.

[Ashleyp in reply to Stephistar]

I have hypothyroidism myself. Yes it definitely will and can extend it 2 weeks past due date. Mine was all sorts of off wack.

The same thing has happened to me while using oil. My doctor told me that cbd oil can have both an anticoagulant effect and also affects hormones, causing breakthrough bleeding and making birth control less effective. She admitted she was not sure if it was because of the hemp seed oil or the cbd itself.

You can get cbd in an isolate powder and I have used it to make gummies, it did not cause bleeding or cramps but that was also before I was on birth control. But it could be helpful info if it turns out the hemp oil is the culprit!

I have been taking a dropper full of cbd oil every morning and have been spotting as well.

My intuition tells me it is the cbd oil and I will experiment with not taking it and will also get a check up. I read somewhere it helps cure fibroids and I’m curious of anyone has any information?
