depends on your age, it may have nothing to do with Dialysis

Never heard of your period having an affect on dialysis. That shouldn’t make a difference.

It's could be that your iron count is now higher now that you are not on PD. When I was on PD anemia was a big issue. I didn't have the anemia issue on dialysis. I was blessed period on both.😊 But not always on PD.

I read a little on it and it says if your on EPO shot which is for red blood cells and hormones that will start back your period, I am taking that through dialysis so I think that may have something to do with it!

Hi Oneisha, I actually have irregular period. Before going on dialysis my period has been on and off for long periods of times. Now That I'm on PD I have has a period at all while being on PD. I do enjoy not having a period but I hope if and when I get a transplant it does come back.

No that you've got your transplant(s) how has your period been? I know you just got the transplant but keep us update on the status of your period. As I would like to know if mine can get back to normal after transplant.
