Hi Tracey. I'm on mycophenolate and since increasing the dosage to 3000mg I haven't had a period either but docs say its just lupus playing havoc with my system. Basically just something else to blame lupus for! lol x

Thanks lucyloo

thanks for your reply, dont really mind not getting my period anyway lol x

I ve been on 20 mg methotrexate for about 12 years, but have always suffered problems with my periods, usually bleeding too often. I have supposedly been in pre menapausal stage for about 5 years now. Despite HRT which has helped a bit, I never know when to expect a period, although they are getting further apart and much lighter. I can't wait to be rid of them.
