Has anyone on Azathioprine lost or skipped their menstrual cycle?

I would like to get pregnant,but i no longer have my period. Any input would be great...thanks

My periods stopped years ago way before I was diagnosed. Had hormone checks which came back normal. Now have found after diagnosed that along with other things it is a symptom of the pbc. Get a hormone check to rule out anything else. My specialist said I would be able to get pregnant as much as anyone else, no guarantee.

I've never had this drug you mentioned, just on urso (started Dec 2010).

I've never had any problems with my menstrual cycle at all. I am almost 49 and think I am building up to the change though I am still having periods.

Just a thought sutorres, have you checked what possible side-effects you could have with the drug aza you have mentioned?

I think it depends on how old you are. If you are about to or have touched the aged 50 mark then it might just be coincidental.

I remember my first hosp consult appt back Oct 2010, I came away from the hospital that day most annoyed and felt I was past it! The consult did ask me twice about my periods and I told him both times, the second I was getting annoyed, that I have no problems there at all, never have as I haven't. I was 46 at the time and did think I had several years left before I hit the change which now I am almost 49 seems to be true.
